Tonight I went to see "Legends Of The Oche" starring John Lowe, Eric Bristow and my hero Bobby George!
I got to the theatre early as my mum hates driving in the city centre so gives herself plenty of time to get through :lol:
We raided the merchandise stands and bought a poster, photo's to be signed later and a Bobby George Teddy bear complete with bling :lol:

The show involved audience participation and I was lucky enough to fulfill a life long dream of playing a leg of darts against Bobby George (even if I was bricking it infront of a packed theatre :lol: ) He was so cool! He was telling me all these techniques and took the micky when I clapped him for getting a 140, saying you should never clap your oponant :lol:

After the show I met Eric, John & Bobby in the foyer and got everything signed (including the teddy bear!) All three were awesome! John was a gentleman, Eric was drunk but very friendly & Bobby was just "Bobby"! When he signed my photo he asked if I wanted kisses on the bottom and when I said yes, he told me to bend over :lol:

All in all an amazing night!!!!

I nearly did! I was so excited! Bobby is retired from pro darts but now he commentates for the BBC on the televised coverage of the Embassy World Championship. Every year he runs a competition to go to the Lakeside & play a leg of Darts against him. I've been entering since I was about thirteen coz I just love the guy but I've never won! Last night really was a dream come true for me {love}

Thanks buddy! {thumb2} It was very scary playing darts on stage as I've never ever played before. My eyesight is bad so I can't see to throw doubles. I just wanted to do it coz I love Bobby George :lol: I think he was a bit scared when he found out I had poor eyesight coz he legged it over the other side of the stage :lol:
