Exceptional for a 17 yo. He's an amazing talent that has lifted the whole sport.

The fat-shaming is unnecessary.

Yep he's crazy good. Brass balls against one of the Goats in MVG.

MVG is going down the Bristow route as John Part mentioned last night. He's peaked and going back down, he missed so many easy doubles that would have put Littler on the back foot early.

Fair. Don't watch much darts anymore. What a peak it was for MVG though. Littler wasn't at his best either imo but was full of confidence and he has double 10 whenever he needs it!

The key for Littler now is sustaining this level.

I remember you saying you only made it into season 2, and what I remember was you dropped it about an episode or two before the murderer was revealed.

TP is definitely an acquired taste. I have seen even fans of the series say you don’t even need to bother watching any more after the murderer is revealed in season 2, as the rest of the season is filler. It came back for a season 3 in 2017 (25 years after the original), which I found to be excellent.

I think even if I'd found out who the murderer was it wouldn't have landed with me as I'd struggled to really enjoy/follow it.

Speaking of old shows though, I've been working through The X-Files for the first time and thoroughly enjoying it now that it's got into its rhythm. First season was a bit choppy though.

Finished It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia last night. Think that got better as it went along. Never really come across a show that had such a range between it's best and worst eps though (only in my opinion of course).

Started Curb now that that's finished.

Think there's a few more seasons of IASIP to come. Curb has a good conclusion though.

Sunny’s one of my all time faves. Personally feel there’s very few average eps.

I just never get into shows when they go 'on location' for a season, so the Irish season was a bit of a flat one for me.

Yeah, I remember trying to get longer shafts for my clubs, pain in the arse. Like I'm not a good player but when I had to bend my knees to take a shot, I tended to "explode" through and lift my knees which means I top the ball.

These thoughts are not welcome in hack golfer self coaching 101.
It's totally what he describes, until he plays next week and determines it's actually his grip... No make that the stance. No. The swing speed.

TBH never even thought of the those... I just assume they're shit anyway. I've been meaning to get coaching over hee but I never get a chance to get out. I brought my clubs when I moved to Ireland and I've used them twice in 5 years. COVID obviously played a part but then busy life, only person to play with is the wife's cousin who played NCAA.
