Now, you’ve got to ask yourself what the hell is that doing on Sky Sports 1? At least they could have that “sport” where the motorcycles drive up that steep hill to see how high they can get. Actually, that should be on the comedy channel…
Is darts a sport? I say “Yes, it’s like the javelin, but on a much smaller scale”. Others say “No, you can’t smoke and drink beer during a sport”. That’s not the dictionary definition though, Dictionary.com says:
- an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
- a particular form of this, esp. in the out of doors.
- diversion; recreation; pleasant pastime.

If you can do that in the pub car park tonight I’ll give you £50.
