I've never known a sporting event look increasingly better year after year.

Every time the world champs come around in December, it looks like a better atmosphere.

Highlights of the tournament so far include Ian White's walk-on and subsequent dance around the girls dancing onstage. He's my favourite player and I was gutted to see him lose to that fat Scottish moron.

The commentary when the Japanese guy was playing Taylor was hitting amazing numbers of national stereotypes. Only in darts.

And finally, the walk-on girl with the dark hair is perfect.

The only bad thing is Sid's absence and his replacement, Bristow, who is a boring skidmark.
