BOBBY GEORGE AT THE WORLD MASTERS DARTS
It's wakey-wakey time for all those competing at the Winmau World Masters here in sunny Bridlington.
The competition got underway on Friday morning, which is not a time of the day associated with darts players.
Each set is contested over just three legs, which requires you to be focused straight away, make sure you score heavily, hit your doubles, shake hands and move on to the next game.
That's how easy it is, until you get up there under the TV lights and try and do it.
The quick-fire format means it's a lottery to predict and someone always comes out of the blue to cause a shock.
Scotland's Gary Anderson is probably the best player on the floor but he seems to crack up when he gets on the stage.
He will be there or thereabouts though, as will English warhorses Martin Adams and Mervyn King.
You can never overlook King - if he was in the army I'd have him at the frontline because he is one man that is very, very reliable.
At the other end of the age scale, Holland's teen sensation Michael van Gerwen is someone who will get the crowd's attention.
To be the third seed at 17-years old is unbelievable.
He is some talent and all he wants to do is play darts which is fantastic for the game.
It's nice to be up in Yorkshire again and working with my friend, BBC presenter Ray Stubbs.
We have a great laugh together and every year I always rib him about his shirts.
He loves buying them and seems to get a new one every day.
Mine cost a pound from Matalan but his cost a fortune! Lovely jubbly!
You can watch me and Raymond on BBC ONE and TWO over the weekend and on the BBC Sport website.
May the darts be with you.
Bobby
