Did you catch the men's indoor 60 metres dash in Sheffield over the weekend?

Usain, Study My Tape

A Friday To Remember At The Palace

5 August 2011

Friday night down at the Palace, just like it used to be. That's what I'll be doing tonight, but I'm not talking about Buckingham Palace (she's not invited me) nor Victoria Palace (already seen Billy Elliott) nor even the Alexander Palace, transformed into our best venue for darts.
