    Yes as expected 😄, must say though it's nothing today with music now with the rubbish which did qualify.

    I wont lie I was watching the match after getting home from training, but my Mrs was raging over us failing to qualify & gave out yards about some of the ones that did... I found the whole thing quite funny TBH which just made her worse 🤣

    We were worse than bad though- we were mediocre and generic. And the lead singer's outfit was pure embarrassing! 🐫

    At least the really awful acts stick in your mind. Being forgettable won't get you anywhere in Eurovision!

    Used to love watching the darts over the christmas holidays but totally lost interest over the last few years. Might give it a go again this year though.

    According to wiki it seems so;

    After the collapse of the British Darts Organisation in September 2020, the WDF announced plans to launch the WDF World Championship and WDF World Masters. Both competitions took place for the first time in 2022, starting with the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship in April.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Darts_Federation

    I had no idea the BDO went, sad really as without the BDO there's no PDC. Many fond memories of watching BDO play at the Lakeside on BBC growing up.
