Apparently we are favourites in the Curling, which is the Scottish version of bowls, but played on ice with a broom and a large thing with a handle on it and a couple of fellas on brooms |  |

Your in-depth knowledge of curling gives you away.
You are just like me...take the piss in public but secretly tune into the highlights to see if the plucky Jocks are on course for gold. | | | |

There is something about it that is compelling, perhaps the hope that the bloke despatching the "Curl" (Is that what you call it ?) forgets to let go and slides down the ice still holding it or one of the men holding the brooms falls over and knocks all the other "Curls" out of the zone | |

You are now desperately trying to cover your tracks as a suspected Curling nerd.
The thing they deliver is the stone and the target area is the house.
The pitch of ice is the sheet and the curl is the degree of bend in the stone as it travels down the sheet....oooh Matron!
Tune in next week for my podcast outlining the rules and terminology of Bog Snorkelling. | | | |

No, not mad, I like curling too. Love the winter Olympics actually. Love watching them frantically brushing the ice for some strange reason! Why do they do that? Something to do with smoothing the ice or something?
The luge and Bobsleigh I like watching too. Something theme park about that. Any Jamaican bobsleigh teams this year? [Post edited 6 Feb 20:11]

Re Curling.
They spray fine droplets of water on the sheet to allow the stone to grip and take the curl.
the Brushers are allowed to sweep the fine icy droplets away so the stone will move a bit further and in a straight line.
I lived in Switzerland for a few years and had a go at it...It is phuqing impossible. | | | |

Thank you, makes sense. Seeing the pictures of Milan brings back memories of Saints being at the San Siro. Great trip that was. | |

I know a few who went...all agree with you ( although some can't remember what the hell happened owing to alcohol poisoning)
the Muni has finally sold it to the 2 Milan clubs. They will construct a new stadium on a different site...ready in 2030 they say...I'd stick a fiver on 2033 at the earliest..HS2 and all that. | | | |
