There IS physical exercise in darts. You have to walk up to the board, pull your darts out, walk back to the line and throw them again. You have to keep on doing this through the whole match! Darts players must have to walk, oooh, I dunno, dozens of yards.

It's amazing how many times Not the Nine O'Clock News sketches can be reeled out to fit something. And quite amazing how many of them stick in our minds for so long. Sign of top comedy.

Indeed. I regularly post NTNOCN sketches (especially the "gram-o-phone" one) and the show finished before I was even born!

Women's beach volleyball is neither a sport or a game.
It's a lewd act.

"Fancy a game of football?" Or "Fancy a sport of football?" hmmmm ... not that I think darts is a sport.

You're quite right. I always wondered why people looked at me funny when I said "anyone fancy a sport, whilst twizzling an Adidas Tango on my pointy finger.."

Anyway - why don't we all agree that if it's a sport, it requires a level of fitness in order to compete. If it's a game, it can be sedentary. ?

I had a bet on the fat Dutchman to beat the fat Englishman 11-6 at 17/2. The fat Dutchman won 11/5.

Shane Warne wasn't exactly an athlete.... still wasn't an Englishman who could bat against him.

Apparently Gary Anderson had to pull out, as his wifi isn't strong enough

Didn't Smith & Jones do a good sketch on darts?

Why has no one ever marketed a full sized air snooker table with air hockey puck style ‘balls’ bigger pockets and snub-nosed cues? Surely a winner....
