MAN DRESSED AS SONIC AT DARTS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Not sure where they get the “World” bit from in “Darts World Championships”, as it mainly seems to be an in-house competition for a few northern pubs that somehow ended up on the telly. Still, is was great seeing Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams show young pretender Dave Chisnall how to cope with the pressure cooker atmosphere of the Lakeside Club in yesterday’s final.
Chisnall fell apart on the 10th set, missing some easy check outs that would’ve pulled him level with Adams. It was painful to watch. As was this, from Saturday’s semi:
“Switched on TV to see this. In a mad rush of enthusiasm I actually made the effort to rewind the TV and take a picture with the rubbish iPhone camera. Now the enthusiasm has kind of worn off and I really don’t know why I went to the effort. Maybe you can write something vaguely amusing about it?” – Mark.

Man with sign in background gains points for correct use of apostrophe, but loses them again for writing his entire message IN CAPS.
And for being at a darts tournament, obviously.
Coincidentally, I had a semi on saturday.

Actually I think that was from the quarter final, but I can’t change it now you’ve gone and referenced it.

I reckon that all capitalised text borders on the acceptable for signage. It’s practically traditional.

Motorway road signs are in lower and upper case I think you’ll find.
Golf sale signs generally are generally all caps though, so which standard should be accepted as the ‘norm’?

Has someone autographed Sonic’s chest? Why?

Probably that Vanessa Hudgens again, no doubt.

The thing that the chap with the sign doesnt realise is that, if she had a sign aswell, his Mrs’ would say “Don’t tell daddy that mummy is tossing off strangers for a fiver a time to pay her online bingo debts.”

Even if you were to change the description to quarter final GigerPunk’s comment would still be relevant and newsworthy. And make perfect sense in the context of this site.

This is how I’ve always pictured Zorg to look like, but instead of a dart competition he’s in front of a computer.

I have no idea what I look like any more. Haven’t made eye contact with myself in a mirror for at least two years now.
