I like St Charles's swearing dad.
I only ever heard my dad swear at the men's amateur team he ran at half time. If they were poor he called them a set of "linnets", why linnets? Only if they were really off it did he resort to swearing and when I first heard him my jaw dropped about two feet! They usually won and very rarely made him anything like angry.
As for darts, the crowd loves it, the more appalling to me the better they like it. I do wonder whether they want women to be equal and involved or sweet little versions of testosterone-charged men? Men have been throwing stuff for thousands of years. If they aren't better at it than women it is back to the drawing board for Darwin.
