Has Fester perpetuated this myth on here that he is in someway good at darts?

In reality he coudn't hit a barn door with a banjo (although if he could it would make a better noise than his Motorhead music  _))*)

I have never made any such claim, however the league statistics don't lie mate.
I wonder if you would care to play against me for ANY sum of money you like?   I somehow doubt it.

Anyhow, I don't know how you DARE even talk about darts, given your recent ignominious ''retirement'' from the game at the end of last season.
Many have been wondering how you could have retired from a game you never really played in the first place.

You are considered the Owen Hargreaves of Darts.   :laugh: :laugh:

I passed through Prestatyn on Friday and have to give them credit, the floral displays there were superb. Loads of summer bedding and all immaculately maintained. Presumably, Denbighshire are under the same financial constraints as CCBC, so what excuse have CCBC got for the dismal state of Llandudno's shrubberies and flower displays?

Totally agree DaveR. I drove through Prestatyn and Flint yesterday and thought the same thing.
Mind you I was in Harrogate today and their displays are magnificent. However I was told that the council has borrowed money to make everything look good for the Tour de France which will take three years to pay back so maybe not such a good display the following years.
The villages look great at the moment with all the decorations for the race. There are yellow bikes and vests all along the route.

Bri you need to tell CCBC that this is on and make sure they have the weeds and grass sorted,somebody forgot to tell them there was an event on the beach at the weekend,it was full of litter,i nearly picked up some of it to take to the hut but there was no one there.

wrex, the cyclists will be going round the Great orme.

Yesterday evening, wrex, I informed a lady coming off the beach with a dog by the jetty that dogs were not allowed on the beach and she informed me she was unaware of that when she went onto the beach further down towards the Imperial Hotel.

Just as I was talking to her a couple of visitors with a poodle walked passed us and down onto the beach.

It seems those new white sail-like signs are only up during the daytime.

What has happened to the Llandudno Hotel and Restaurant Group?    Surely the Tourist Businesses of the Town should be shouting long and hard, at their Town and County Councillors and also lobbying their AM's and MP's.   It is no good sitting on one's A*** and expecting everything to be done for you!

Maybe, whilst Wrex is making all the fuss, the Town's Hoteliers are prepared to just accept things as they are, in which case it is no use moaning at the end of the year when the final line on the Balance Sheet starts with a minus sign!

That makes sense.

There are usually several, norman, stretching from kiddies corner to the bandstand but if you check the notice board near the jetty you will see that dogs are actually not allowed from kiddies corner over to the Washington.

There were originally either 10 or 12 'dog flags', but CCBC kept coming along and taking them to other places-- Rhos now has 2 and apparently Pen and Llanfairfechan have one each. Have a chat with the chappies in the hut !!!

Which is the better option?

Positioning them on the ‘shingle’ when the tide is in, or

Positioning them on the sandy beach when the tide is out.
