Watching professional darts matches is a very odd way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Amusing since it’s the only godforsaken sport that the state-owned BBC can afford since (Murdoch-owned) SkyTV took over anything even remotely watchable. Oddly, the darts players appear to have attractive wives and no shortage of hot supporters.
One wonders what William “Fatty” Foulke would make of it all.
Please don’t besmirch the fine name of “The Viking”. That the 30stone man-mountain manages to become a world sports champion brings a small tear to my eye.
My history teacher in England had chronic gout. Walked with a cane all the time. I have a picture of him in the teacher’s lounge holding a bottle of scotch in one hand and a six pack of bitter in the other.

That is a veritable manmountain. Goddamn.
1st = about 6.6 kilos IIRC.
30 stone = 30*14lb, or 420 pounds.

That’s right. We all know those across the way have a difficult time with reality.
30stone must be the Hobbit weight given this man at Hogwarts Academy.
Real units? Ha! If that’s your attitude, then bollocks to you.
14 lbs. That’s a man-mountain alright.
I mean in real units like kilograms or pounds.
um…..30? Stones? I’m guessing?
30stone is how much now?

Irrelevant anecdote:

The beer and the weight problem are going to give the man gout, we’ll see how well his dart throwin’ goes then.
