    Simon Whitlock is wandering around the bar at lakeside, I thought PDC players would be banned from entering :D

    Alan Norris was a guest in the studio the other day, so unlikely!

    Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I'm sure that Part would play in the PDC championship and when he got knocked out go on to commentating on the BDO championship. Does anyone else remember this or is the memory going?

    You're right. He even did it after becoming PDC World Champ in 2008.

    Bunting was in the crowd yesterday. I remember Mardle being there last year also.

    I thought it was nice to hear Tony Green congratulate Anderson on commentary last night.

    Whitlock was there for his Australian mate whose name escapes me who was playing today. He's staying in Whitlock's house while he's over here for the tournament and i suppose practising with him.

    Ryan de Vreede looks a little bit like Simon Mignolet.

    Can't stand Toss oh sorry I mean Ross. Bit of needle between the 2. Also double world champ Ando dislikes Montgomery.

    Watching Hankey...he's averaging about 67 after 2 sets and has hit 1 double out of 21 darts.
    He won 3-0 the other day. God only knows who he was playing.

    Dreadful, terrible to see a double world champ reduced to that. Martin is a nice fella and coped with Hankey's antics well. Can't see him going much further although he has the Harbour master next so should be close.

    Hankey of later years just seems to want to slow other players down and fight with the crowd rather than play the board. He has arguably the best throwing action in the game. A two time world champ with his ability should really be waltzing through this tournament. Its a real shame

    Hankey sure was dire last night. Shame as he could still be a good asset for the bdo, but not with nonsense like that.

    I wonder how far Lisa Ashton could go if she played in the men's tournament. She averaged higher than a lot of the men in the first round.

    Ye Hankey was awful last night, it's a pity because he's one of the most entertaining characters in the BDO and he's a very naturally talented thrower as well.

    The tournament would want to pick up a but because the standard so far has been dreadful.

    Hankey seemed to give up, you could see he was firing them in towards the end and lost all interest. I'm surprised a player with his experience would give up that easy.
    Waites to win now hopefully.

    Yeah it reminds me of when he gave up against Christian Kist a few years ago and blamed the BDO for turning the air conditioning on to stop him winning.

    But Adams has integrity, unlike Hankey. He won't throw in the towel
