Dry January.

Did it once. More than ten years ago Nearly smoked myself to death.

Anyway, @crodonilson, I was hoping you'd start a thread, with full biog and possibly an interview, about that fat 16 year old lad who looks 35 if he's a day, that has set DARTS alight.

D dddd d d d d der d d d d der Joel Veltman!

that 16 old lad who looks 35 if he's a day

Glad it’s not just me trying to reconcile that reality with the fact that he looks like he’s approaching 40.
