The Naitch Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I remember a few years ago there was a thread about what was more difficult and or required more skill. A 9 darter in darts or a 147 in snooker. The people saying 9 darter would always trot out stats about how few televised 9 darters there had been. There's one every second week now. How anyone can think that's more difficult/skillful than a 147 is beyond me. Number of televised 147s = 51 (since 1982) Number of televised nine darters = 39 (since 1984 - also includes the two tonight) There's roughly the same number of tournaments on the telly each year for the two sports so those stats suggest the 147 is easier.

Guest Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Since returning to the country I've been working in a famous retail chain that shall remain nameless in order to keep me going whilst I look for a "grown up" job. Anyway, today I'm working away in the huge stock room through the back when this fucking random woman walks up to me. I thought she was going to say she was there for an interview or to fix something or some other reasonable explanation for how she was in the stockroom, but (f**k knows how or why) she was just a normal punter looking for assistance. I told her to go back to the shop floor and I'll help her, and when we get there she reveals that ironically, it's burglar alarms she's after. She then asks if she shouldn't have went back there (what do you think love?), and when I say she probably shouldn't have she explained that she thought I seemed very approachable which is why she came to look for me. I'd have taken this as a compliment and not a threat to my health, but cue shrieking violins, I hadn't been on the shop floor for at least 20 minutes. I'll be checking under my bed tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Considering doing my bathroom up, really want to tile the floor, only problem being, i've never done any tiling before and worried i'd f**k it up. Get the best adhesive and grout from a specialised shop rather than a B&Q / Wickes type. If its a concrete floor then go for BAL Rapid Set adhesive, if you are on chipboard or floorboards then you can either screw down plywood or use a rubberised based adhesive to deal with the movement in the floor. You can also hire a decent tile cutter from the shop. Tiling on a wooden floor can be expensive, otherwise just get that tile look wooden flooring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
