Today we celebrate our Independence day

(Posted 12:18:39 on 4th July 2007 by Mr O)
Apologies for quoting Bill Pullman from that awful Will Smith film (ok, Independence Day, I realise awful, Will Smith and film are often in the same sentence), but I don't see what all the fuss is about? Why anyone would want to celebrate independence from the good 'ole UK beats me. Interestingly I used to work with someone called Jonathon Hancock (hopefully you knowledgeable readers will get the link).

So back to the weather, its still cacking it down here, yet when I switch to the darts from Las Vegas they are saying that it's reached 130 degrees (54C), which apparently is a record. That's my question for the day, is/are darts big in the US? Over here it's massive and getting bigger every year. There were events this spring that attracted crowds of over 5,000, which for a pub game is incredible.

It's also a good day to celebrate my independence from the bathroom after a particularly violent attack of food poisoning. It's amazing how much rubbish you can find on satellite TV when you are not in work.

Well to those of you in the US, enjoy your day off, and to those in the UK, keep practicing the swimming.

As much as I would love to say that everything in America is bigger and better, in response to your question of whether darts are big in the US - they are the same size in the US as they are in the UK. (It would make the game quite difficult if they were bigger as they would be much harder to throw).
