Captain Cook sinks!

My team, sponsored by the Captain Cook Hotel, won its way into the Grand Final of the local darts league, but - as I predicted - we got thrashed! The scoreline of 6 games to 1 showed how outclassed we were, but it was still a good night with everyone enjoying the competition in the true spirit of the game. Our opposition, sponsored by the Manchester Arms Hotel, was a team of family members... the Bullocks, consisting of father Bullock, his daughter, three sons and a close family friend who, incidentally, has since formed a relationship with a female member of OUR team!

The father has also 'poached' one of our best players in an attempt to form a 'super' team for the next darts season, which commences late January 2009, so this leaves me back at square one to either form another new team or try to join an existing one.

Apart from darts, my life has continued in the usual manner with very few highlights. I attended the Bendigo Show, disputed a few transactions on my VISA card statement (which ended by me having it cancelled and issued with a new one), sold a few rings from my collection (if anyone would like to see a listing - including photographs and prices - please let me know), lost over $300 on a stupid "investment" when I 'clicked' on a lottery site promoting a syndicate entry BEFORE I realised how much I was about to pay and caught a dose of the 'flu'... apart from those events, my life has been very ordinary!
