    Really sad to hear about this, the commentary for Darts now is beyond terrible compared to likes of Dave and Sid, who made a dreadful match seem exciting. All they talk about nowadays is averages and double percentage etc., they don't put in the excitement and wit like them two did.

    Hah! That's the last time I am reacting to a post on Facebook without checking the date.

    Interesting though that most of the characters in that sitcom did actually see service in WW2.

    I preferred the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah.

    Never liked Cohen's singing, but - my God! - he wrote some powerful songs. Maybe a more worthy Nobel Laureate than Dylan...?

    I was at Kenny Rogers in the Odyssey the other night (Mrs Backstothewall dragged me along)

    I'll be amazed if he sees out the winter. He is in awful shape.

    Wasn't Dylan on death's door around twenty years ago when he made Time out of Mind?

    Most of his music is interminable ****e but Not Dark Yet is a great song.

    I was disgusted that Dylan got that now. Seemed a sop. Weird.

    I'd defo be more pro-Cohen than Dylan despite not being able to enjoy either musically.

    I saw Dylan a few years ago in the Point. Absolute shoite. Such a crock that he still tours with his voice as it is.

    That being said 10 years ago he played Kilkenny and was supported by the Violent Femmes and the Flaming Lips (left after the Lips who were astounding).
