I just meant that you are an apologist for sports rife with drug use and curling clearly doesn't fit into your fast-paced, high-seeking, illicit thrill junkie sports philosophy. i know you secretly crave bobsleighing to be exclusively performed by crack addicts in flaming bobsleighs

Bowls is **** neil

Bowls is ****, but curling is basically lawn bowling on ice.

Its different imo, all lawn bowls is, is bowling a ball and getting it as close to the jack every time you have a bowl.

In Curling, you have to try and block off the opposition, as well as get your "whatever they're called" close to the bullseye thing dont know the curling lingo.

Hmm, in theory you could be right but actually you're just in denial.

Face it, it's a combination of bowls, golf, croquet, darts and housework on ice.

Ice hockey is sooooooooooooooooooooo **** and pointless. I always have a chuckle to myself when I see grown men playing hockey (not on ice) or grown men with ice hockey pennants hanging in their cars. Sheffield Steelers - **** off!

I used to work with a woman whose husband played hockey on a Saturday. I always had visions of this drooling, socially inept goon. I met him a few years later at a wedding. I was absolutely right.

[Shaggy]

He was one of those people who talks with a build-up of spittle in each corner of his mouth. I imagine every man who plays hockey, be it ice hockey or otherwise, is like that. In fact anyone associated with any form of hockey has a build up of spittle in each corner of their drooling mouths.

I think it's unfair to lump ice hockey in with field hockey or whatever it's called. Field Hockey is a game played by tally-ho idiots. Ice hockey is one of the fastest and most skillful sports in the world. And they have great fights.

[Shaggy]

It's the same thing played on a slippy surface!!

Would have made Cool Runnings even better!

I don't like watching ice hockey but I'm sure that's partly because I don't watch it enough to get what's going on, where the puck's gone, etc. I have no doubt it's quite exciting to watch on TV if you do know more about it, and especially if you've actually been to a top game.

I'd rather watch ice hockey for an hour or two than four days of badly-dressed men wandering around a park hitting little white balls with expensive sticks before they slip off to shag cocktail waitresses and sell us razor blades and Gatorade.

I used to hate field hockey, until I talked to a friend of mine about it. He was passionate about it, played for England under 21s and was captain of his local team. So un spittley it was untrue. He was Indian, so not tally ho, it's really big in Indian community. He was as fit as ****, a really cool guy. Died playing the sport he loved.
Used to come to work on a Monday with huge gashes and stitches in his head / arms, etc. Great guy.

But watching it does bore me :-)

If you want spills and thrills surely the visually impaired downhill skiing at the winter paralympics sounds highly dangerous.
