Again, several people have commented that the track condition is perfectly understandable, knowing that there are four meetings in five days. The main thing is that the track is not cutting up with holes and ruts everywhere. Something has to be said for that.

Thank you! I'm not really sure why everybody is writing us off before a wheel has been turned. If our top 3 are performing anywhere near their best, we can do it. They have all proven that Zmarzlik is beatable. Our fourth - whoever that may be - just has to avoid finishing last. There has been nothing from the Danes, Swedes, or Aussies, to suggest that they are superior to us. No, it's not going to be easy, but it's the World Cup - and it shouldn't be easy. All I'm hoping for is that they can provide a half-decent racing track, which won't be easy after three meetings in four days.

Yeah, there are plenty of dick heads on the BSF who could do an equally poor job!

I also dropped my hot dog at White Hart Lane a couple of years later! Yes, I have a history...

He scored 4 in the first leg, and 3 in the second. And he was third highest scorer in the final of the 2022 SoN2.

Brennan IS good enough, he DOES have experience at this level, and he just showed he can compete.

Didn't hurt Brennan at the SoN.

And we know how difficult it is coming in that late when everyone else has been riding all night...

"Lines"? I use that term very loosely...

A quick glimpse here...

Well worth keeping Ellis in for that!

Yeah, there won't be much, if any. You might find some newsreel footage that would include a clip of him, but that's all.

Plechanov, definitely...

But you're using the term, "made sense". You KNOW that clearly doesn't apply'.

Yeah, Woffinden shouldn't be there. Total has-been. Bomber would have been a much better choice.

Have to agree...

Making a difference, eh?

Well, it has actually...

Even YOU can't shout that loud that he'd hear you...

Did you really need him to tell you that?

He'd probably still flood the place...

Passing?

Better bloody hurry up, then! At least you didn't say Poole...

Well, Dan proved that it's possibly to pass - even if it was Lind-at-the-back...

Back in 2008, I was rushed into hospital with high blood pressure. Seems it's a genetic problem, and my doctor put me on Beta Blockers and lisinopril-HCTZ. The following year (while i was still playing darts professionally), I was named on the US team for the World Cup. So, I checked the list of banned substances to make sure I was okay. Beta blockers are a prohibited substance as they are "performance- enhancing". HCTZ is a diuretic, which makes it a prohibited substance; diuretics are often used as a "masking agent". So, I got my doctor to change my prescriptions. Now, with your comment about pharmacists in mind, I was taken aback to discover that my doctor was shocked at the idea of my prescriptions being on the banned list. Even though I don't compete anymore, I recently told my new doctor about the HCTZ (she has put me back on it), and she was just as shocked that it's banned. It surprises me that there are so many people competing in sport these days - sports that have to abide by the WADA prohibired substance list - yet doctors have no idea what is and isn't okay.
