As long as what you enter isn't a cyclist, it's not accepted so if I use the ones with vowels in to work out what's there, it's then a question of filling in the gaps with what sounds like it might be a name. Over and over.TheBigBean said:

Tactics in curling, not a clue what they are trying to do but it is strangely exciting.
Steve Cram seems surprisingly clued up and seems to call things well0 -
Just the same as bowls but on ice isn't it?Pross said:Tactics in curling, not a clue what they are trying to do but it is strangely exciting.
With the addition of the people with brooms who can affect the outcome.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

So I was right at the age where everyone *loved* jackass.
Honestly, I really can't fathom why it's so popular. It's just people claiming to be friends bullying and really hurting each other, really quite badly.
Caught an interview by chance of someone selling the new film. They did some stunt where some guy kicks them in the nuts as hard as they can. Anyway he burst and lost one of his testicles doing it and he's laughing it off saying it's all worth it.
I don't get it.

Apparently, curling was going to be in the Summer Olympics, but they put that idea on ice.

Steve Cram is a good commentator.
Better than some of the other Beeb one's. Especially that one that does the cycling. Don't know his name.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
The Biathlon commentary was a bit weird on Eurosport.
Woman’s 15k I think, 3rd place skier on last leg from shoot to finish bonks massively, limps across the line in about 7th and collapses to be aided by skiers and officials.
Commentator claims she is so upset at being passed for 3rd she stops trying and needs consoling.
Wtf are you going on about? Can you actually see the pictures?0 -

Apparently, members of a curling team are obsessed about their weight.0

I heard on the radio that curling uses a huge amount of data analysis to predict the opponents' shot selection and probability of success.
Here's a snippet of what they're talking about:
A three-dimensional empirical state space model and three-dimensional homogeneous and heterogeneous Markov models to estimate win probabilities throughout a curling match. The Markovian win probabilities were derived from the observed scoring probabilities using recursive logic............................0 -
Apparently, curling is the least racist sport, half of the game they are taking the knee.1

The idea was to adapt the rules of bowling, but the use of a lawnmower ahead of the ball during competition was deemed too dangerous.masjer said:Apparently, curling was going to be in the Summer Olympics, but they put that idea on ice.

I would have said "I don't get it" and then he would be jumping about a bit in both amazement and frustration.Ben6899 said:

Apparently, drug cheats in curling are known as stoners.

I called my local curler and said "I want a skip outside my house", he said "I'm not stopping you".1

Apparently, it's very easy to spot where curlers live, they've got the cleanest driveways.1

If they can't even win that niche market, then surely it has no hope. I'd be interested in the box without the TV.rick_chasey said:

I was put off that you can't record anything, so you're entirely at the whim of the tv provider to make it available to watch later.TheBigBean said:
