Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A day trip to France revives wartime memories in this tale made into the classic film A Day to Remember starring Stanley Holloway. When the members of the Hand and Flower Darts Club set out on a day trip across the Channel to take in the sights of Boulogne-sur-Mer, they can’t begin to imagine how the day will end. Some haven’t returned to France since the war, others had never made a trip to the mainland. All six split up in different directions and it isn’t long before secret desires start landing these Englishmen in hot water . . . For Jim Carver, it’s been a lifetime since he set foot in Boulogne. He was Sgt. Jim Carver of the 25th Lancers then, thick as thieves with his mate George Holden and always up to his elbows repairing tanks. But George is long gone, buried in the local cemetery. The only other memory Jim has of his time in the French town are of a young girl called Marie-Josephe. To his astonishment, Jim encounters the quite grown up, and engaged, Marie-Josephe at the cemetery as he visits George’s grave, and finds himself drawn into his past with such intensity, he starts to question the direction of his future. The six men make the crossing from England to France and have very different experiences, but only four of them will make the return voyage . . . “A warm, low pressure English novel.” —The New York Times “Mr. Tickell has a light touch and a delicate feeling for emotional relationships.” —The Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book Staying Power written by Phil Taylor and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phil 'The Power' Taylor is the uncontested king of darts, his sixteen world championship titles between 1990 and 2013 far outclassing anything else the game has seen. He started out as a protégé of Eric Bristow, the Crafty Cockney, having wandered into his Burslem pub with a set of darts his wife had given him for his birthday. At that time Taylor was earning £52 a week working in a ceramics factory and hardly played. But jaws dropped and pint mugs tipped over as this newcomer suddenly unleashed a gift for flight that had soon eclipsed even the Crafty Cockney himself, and amassed Phil a haul of over 200 professional tournament victories. Staying Power is a year in the life of a legend, twice nominated for BBC Sports Personality of the Year, a man who made darts look a doddle to British pub-goers everywhere and set his seal on the game as the bloke to beat. A year of triumph and disaster, in which Taylor crashed out of the world championship in the second round to young outsider Michael Smith and fell asleep at home on Christmas day, exhausted from the strain of constant winning. A year when he played arguably the greatest ever game of darts, in the Grand Slam semi-final against recent world champion Adrian Lewis the two slugging it out to the wire. A year in which Taylor rocked Australia, fêted like royalty. A year of spats and hecklers, clashes on stage and off, of head-to-heads with the Dutch superstar Michael van Gerwen. But most of all this is a year in which Phil Taylor, one of sport's greatest champions, has looked hard at his life in his determination to stay in power.

Download or read book Dart Strategy Illustrated written by Tom Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses pure mathematics to derive the best strategy for any situation you could have in a game of steel tip '01. Based on a pattern of misses common to players who average about 19 to 22 points per dart, the resulting strategies are displayed in illustrations for each situation. At a glance, you can determine where you should aim to maximize your chance of winning. The optimal strategy for '01 games does not depend solely on your remaining score. The dart you are throwing (first, second, or third dart of your turn), your opponent's score, and your skill level should all factor into the decision of where to aim. At times, the score you had at the beginning of your turn also matters if there is a possibility of busting.Even if you already have memorized a good out chart and always follow its recommendations, the strategies in this book can yield more than a 2% increase in the proportion of legs that you win. That could mean winning one extra leg every couple of nights or several more legs over the course of a league season.

Download or read book Bobby Dazzler written by Bobby George and published by Orion. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bobby George first appeared on the darts scene, he immediately caught the eye: well built (he was the only darts player ever to be approached to take part in TV's Superstars), good looking and with plenty of bling, he was a natural showman. He could play a bit too, as he showed by reaching the final of the world championship in both 1980 and 1994. But that is only the beginning of the story. Before the darts came his time as a doorman at various East End pubs and bars just after the era of the Krays and Richardsons, when baseball bats and knuckle dusters would often come in handy. He also helped build the Victoria line. Since he retired from full-time darts, he has appeared in gangster films such as Dog, on TV programmes such as Celebrity Fit Club, and in videos with The Streets. Now best known as a commentator on the BBC, George relives the excitement of the last thirty years of the world of darts, with plenty of insider gossip and stories about all the most famous players in the TV era of the sport.
