Greetings Everyone;

My Name is Sam Kimpton and, among a host of things, I play darts. I am known for throwing a 180 bust in match play against Niles Lehman; A stunt which caused two-time world champion, John Part, to call me "naughty".

I required 162 for an out and threw two darts in the triple 20 bed and decided for the novelty to throw the third for a 20 to leave double 11 for a finish the next round. I must have been focusing on the T20 as this is where my last dart landed.

Now before you go ballistic on me, please understand that I know the third dart should have gone in the 10 bed to leave me with 32 for a finish, i.e. D16. I just decided to try something different.

I did, however, go on the win the game.

Lesson learned. There's a reason for the "accepted wisdom" on dart finishes.

Anyway I digress,....Manic digression is a heart breaker!

I have been known by a number of names. Among those I can mention in mixed company are "Bulldog", and (when my darts are not flying so well) "epileptic amoeba", "spastic chimpanzee" and the like. I earned the nickname "The Executioner" by cold bloodedly eliminating a friend of mine in the last game of league championship play in May 2007.

My friend gave up darts as a result.

Don't get me wrong, I was not pleased with his decision and felt a little bad about blowing him away at the oche like I did but it was not personal. It was only darts and in championship or match play it is all business with darts.

I also have a Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/dart_thrower  . Please feel free to check it out.

Throw well.

Sam
