I KNOW I KNOW! It's an insect called Cricket.
Has anyone ever watched it? Incomprehensible rules. with a FLAT bat that is HUGE hitting a pitched ball on a PITCH. And a SHORT game is TWO days long! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Curling became a big deal in the UK for a few days last winter olympics because the Scots actually WON something ! LOL
BTW teh Kiwi's just won the SA rugby sevens tournament too. They're on a roll.
Our turn in 2001-2003, All blacks turn now for sure.

Bob
where did the Barmy Army go?
the whole town is deserted.
the English Pub is closed.
Backpackers lodges .. no one will answer the doorbell.
But no problem, I've burnt the wickets from the last game, as well as the ball used in the last over, and I'm sending the "ashes" off to the MCC Museum Lord's Cricket Ground, St John's Wood, London NW8 8QN
No, no, don't thank me, I'd do it for a mate any time

Curling....that's something you do to your hair. Have they started calling that a sport? Seems more like an art to me.

Isn't that something you do on ice or in the snow? Or is that what you do when watching baseball - curl up & go to sleep? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
