Return To Articles Big AL's Darts Site  

An Unexpected Visitor.

When I first set up the old Weston Darts League Web-site some years ago it was at least 6 months before anybody could find it unless they punched in the full http:// address, because I was new to the game and the site did not have a search engine listing. By the time I came to set up the Rugeley Monday Darts League (and now Rugeley Sunday) Web-site I had a much better idea how things were done, so consequently the site had a listing much more quickly and rapidly started getting lots of hits. It was also  tied into a popular league and the internet was two years older so that must have helped. Big AL’s Dart Site was only set up last Summer and has been slower to pick up hits, mainly because it is not affiliated to any league, although it had a listing straight away.

Many of the articles that initially appeared on Big AL's site were taken from the old Weston Darts League site that I used to run and others were taken from the Rugeley Darts League site. Big AL’s Darts Site is now starting to pick up a few more hits and on a good day will reach about 10 hits. Hopefully this number will gradually climb as more people find the site, like what they see and come back to it to explore a little more. Earlier this week the site had an unexpected visitor in the form of my psychiatric nurse who was supposed to be giving me my fortnightly injection.

As soon as I went into the nurse's office I saw that she had the computer switched on which she has never done before. I immediately commented on the fact and asked if she could get the internet on it. She said she did not know, but said I could have a try to see, if I wanted. Now bearing in mind that I am a Psychiatric patient with paranoid schizophrenia and have delusions, she probably thought that most of what I had told her over the months about being quite handy with a computer were simple delusions. She soon got a surprise and that was not because I was kneeling on the floor next to her and reaching over her lap to get at the computer. Within seconds I was out of the Doctor’s surgery system, on the net, had found Google and punched up the four darts web-sites. After showing her some of the rude joke pages and one or two rude articles I mentioned to her that the surgery would monitor the computers logs and she could get into trouble for looking at the rude bits. Her speedy reply was that it was research into her patient’s (me) background. This seemed fair enough to me so I showed one or two other web-sites such as Age Concern Stafford, because I am a computer volunteer at a local over 50’s computer club.

I shall find out in less than two weeks if she has got the sack!

Later that day I was telling one of my darting friends about the days events and he said, “So when all my medical records are distributed over the internet because some computer bug or virus has got into the Doctors computer system when you were looking at the internet, I’ll know who's to blame.”

“I had not thought about that,” was my reply, “But then again you must expect a few bugs and viruses to be on everything at the doctor’s!” I added.
