You all have heard about my relationship with my father, well there was a time when I was young that I wanted his approval. I wanted him to be proud of me, wasn't until I was older did I realise nothing I did would have made him proud.

At that time he was a fantastic dart player, he would practise in our living room bang bang bang the darts would go every chance he got. I would practise with him, he used to like me too practise especially when he would stand me on a chair, put a cigarette in my mouth and make me lie my head on the dartboard so he can aim at the cigarette, I trusted him, he never threw a dart at me he always got the cigarette thankfully. Another of his tricks would be for me to stand on the chair spread my fingers wide then place it over the dart board, again he never caught my fingers, he always got the dart in between them.

Like I said I wanted him to be proud so when he wasn't there I would practise as mu as I could, We would have 501 competitions like on the TV, he would show off with how many 180's he would get, I always lost but over time I did get a lot better. We also played even numbers where you had to throw the darts at the even numbers only, he would sprint through them. Then one day we had a competition who could get there dart inside a polo mint hole, we would put thread threw the polo mint hole then stick a needle into the dart board, he had his 3 shots, he missed I had my turn I got my first dart inside the hole, *the look on his face was priceless, I then threw my 2nd dart, that too went in to the hole, he nearly bust I was so chuffed with myself and I could see ho mad he was getting he wasn't going to take this away from me I then threw my last dart, it actually smashed the polo mint, I had actually beat him He took it as his win as he had taught me I knew different

He was brilliant player, he met Eric Bristow in a Pub one night, he asked to play him, Eric Bristow was gutted when he lost, he shook his hand said well done and walked away. He was good to watch, he had a talent with the dartboard, shame he didn't have a better connection with his kids.

I always saw in the movies and I like many, but I have never tried to throw some darts at the target, as a child we used a knife to nail the wood of a tree but no more than that.
Congratulations for your aficcion, great post, Thank you very much for sharing dear friend @ karenb54

Thank you :)

Thanks for sharing:) Did you actually enjoy it as a game or was it just for your dad?

I enjoyed it, at first it was to do something with him but it ended up me wanting to beat him

Wow, incredible story. I'm glad that your dad was a great shot when you were near the board, but what a great turn of events with that mint.

Well done @karenb54! Great job!

Thank you :)So am I imagine the holes in my face and hands if he wasnt,
