Though a diversion now and again for comic relief is worth it.

 

Hockey? I have lived in Canada all my life but I never played hockey. I also never watched a hockey game on TV.

I took my son to a hockey game ONE TIME but never again.
They played back and forth for a couple of minutes but no goals. Then a 15 minutes break.
They played back and forth for another couple of minutes with no goals then another 15 minutes break. HO HUM! BORING!

One goalie fell down or fell asleep then the other team got a goal. WOOPIE! HO HUM.

Soccer is even worse. Those games go for hours without any score.

If it were not for the rioting in the stands and occasional spontaneous lynchings, they would be pretty boring.

 

You haven't played cricket. In the good old days a cricket match lasted for 5 days. Before that the longest match went on for 10 days. They take two 20-minute breaks for tea and 40 minutes for lunch.

 

Anybody here watch golf? I find it about as entertaining as watching an old lady knit a sweater.

 

It takes two really good teams to get a zero-zero score, you don't know how

it feels to be competitor in a uniform playing for a crowd. You have to be in

good shape. You don't know how it feels to be a one man show. Its to late

now, but be careful what you say about competitors,it take a lot of hard work.

Watch the Barcelona and maybe you could consider a different opinion.

Sad that around here, not necessarily like that but it seems more and more frequent than scoring.

By the way BH, you, golf or cricket? THAT means action!

PD: try badmington...

 

I played golf twice and I did pretty well. But it was boring.

It's not so bad if you stay with the drink cart. That is all I'd do when I had a job that had "Company golf outings" for some personnel twice a year, that was what most everybody did, come to think of it.

 

I've played golf (well, just went to the driving range and smacked balls really hard) a couple of times and it was mildly entertaining. Probably would have even been fun if I had a few drinks in me. But watching someone else play golf? How do they get away with televising such a sport?

 

200 years ago if a group of people went out in a field and started beating the ground with sticks and cursing, it would be called Witchcraft. Today it's known as golf.

That's pretty much how I play. It's more fun just to stay in the golf cart an play "prairie polo".

I'm pretty sure all the ground beating and cursing is the reasons there are no snakes left in Britain. They swam to France.

 

We've got snakes (adders and grass snakes), but there are no snakes in Ireland because St Patrick (allegedly) killed them all. Not sure if they play much golf in Ireland.

 

There is no way im one of those kids!

Audioguru, I cant do this f***ing circuit and I hate you, can you help me ?
