Won a Lakeside ranking event this weekend despite being a PDC Tour Card holder! What a guy!

Post your appreciation for the big man here.

I am celebrating by having some moussaka for lunch, washed down by some ouzo. And then I will throw the plate on the floor and smash it.

Can we keep this thread for appreciation please, and only that of the big Greek fella. Thank you. If you want to appreciate the scrounger who couldn't be arsed to get travel insurance, start yer own thread.

Currently lisetning to a bit of Demis Roussos whilst watching a repeat of Stefanos Tsitsipas beating Roger Federer last week.

I can't wait for the BDO players to play in the first PDC Pro Tour event in a few weeks because they can play in whatever code they wish...oh hang on...!

Yes they can, but they have to earn their place (ie a tour card).
