I harbour vague ambitions to become good at both snooker and darts. And what with the memory thing and everything else, I probably haven't got the time to get good at both of them before I'm forty years old and too fat to play either (have you noticed how the fat players never win at snooker or darts any more?). I might just invent a new game that's a combination of the two, and call it 'snarts' (because 'dooker' just sounds silly). It would be a great game, but spectators would frequently be injured by the very sharp balls when they hit a wire and bounced off the table.
Not entirely sure about that one; Phil Taylor is in the form of his life (well, except on the darts shown on ITV last night, where he actually lost a match) and he is the springiest of chickens at forty-nine. On balance, I'd give you snooker, though.

Inevitably they would say "Ouch, that snarts". Ayythangyew...
Sheer genius!
