By Alan J. Hartley.
Whilst this book is loosely about darts and the life of a middle aged darter (myself) who never made the grade as a player, it is also made up of a lot of funny articles that were written by myself when I took over as league Secretary of a village based darts league after the old lady who had run it for many years died. I dragged the league into the 21st century by first of all introducing advertising on the league Fixtures to raise money for the league and then starting a Web-site. The League web-site struggled to gain recognition for a year or two, but started to receive more and more hits as jokes and articles about darts were added. The jokes became ruder and the articles sillier/funnier and the number of hits rose accordingly. Then I got more involved with another local league and set up a web-site for them. This second site rapidly became a hit, far quicker than the first and took up more and more of my attention so that in the end I virtually stopped playing darts and simply went to watch the games and get occasional ideas for topics to write about.
