Darts World Championships
Surely there cannot be a better time, if you're a real sports lover, than the start of the year, which offers up the Darts World Championships at Lakeside in Essex and then, in quick succession, the Snooker Masters championship at Wembley.
Come on. Can anyone think of a better example of two great sporting events occurring so close to each other? No. No one can. The French Tennis Open and the final of the football European Cup occur quite close to each other, I think, but seriously, let's not start comparing football (a nice enough game, if you're into that sort of thing) and darts (the sport of kings). Football would never recover.
Darts -- for our American cousins, people of other nationalities and sheer heathens who don't know or appreciate darts -- is a game for morons, by morons. It consists of throwing arrows at a board.
