    Right I shall start apart from watching men in tights grapple what other sports do other people here follow? I like tennis, cricket and footy myself. I used to love snooker but for some reason despite the quality of play being awesome at the moment I dont follow it as much as I used to. :(

    Big soccer fan.

    I also like rugby. Maybe its similar to watching men in tights grapple but i think it counts.

    I always find it difficult to watch footy after rugby.

    Try watching Rugby League for a while then trying to watch Union. Leaves me ready to pass out.

    Golf, believe it or not.
    Picturing a guy with a shaved head, piercings, affliction shirts on a golf course is probably funny, and probably won't happen. I enjoy watching the tours.

    Regards to playing, I took up pitch & putt last year. With a bit of practice with some better weather, i hope to move on to proper courses in the next year or so. :)

    Two questions

    Is anyone else sick of gillette ads, why would anyone buy 3 'products' to shave, who has the time. Sorry but its doing my head in.

    Secondly why is Katie taylor boxing on the card of a proffesional fight when they are trying to get amateur female boxing into the olympics?

    Nah, you only think you only remember the good shots, but you subconsciously remember the bad ones too, you never play the same hole worse than you did the first time. ;)

    Two is sometimes required if you suffer bitch, i mean sensitive skin. I actually have to put on after shave gel after shaving foam because my skin is on fire afterward.

    Shaving=SERIOUS BUSINESS!

    They are so lame, watching Henry, Federrer and Woods having "banter" is so uncomfortable to watch

    Also a footy fan, but will watch the rugby as well if it's on at home. Used to play at bit of basketball in school, rarely watched it though. Wouldn't mind playing some footy but with a bad knee, that ain't gonna happen :/.

    Sports i love:
    Rugby, skateboarding, (as well as any trick-orientated sport) and anything you can do freestyle.
    Like freestyle pool. Its like proper pool, but get points for trick shots.

    One thing i got really really into after watching this years superbowl is american football.
    Dunno what it is exactly about it but i just love the tactics and work that goes into planning runs etc.
    And its bloody tense.

    Usually in football or rugby, in the final 2 minutes you have a near sure answer to what way the match is going. But its still all to play for in American football.

    It's like NASCAR in that respect. In both sports they could just skip the first 90% of the event :P

    Do you mean that in the final 2 minutes you can predict it or its like american football?

    I mean that for ages not a lot happens then there's a lot of action at the end which is hard to predict.

    Really?
    Never watched it. Used to have this really good mate who was big into F1 and i remember watching it every now and again when id be round and yeah, sure, fast cars and all that, but it was like 10 laps on and thats it then.
    Unless someone blows out a tire or crashes there is no really fluctuation of whats going to happen.

    Gotta agree here, Missus Raven watches it a lot when it's on, and it bores me to tears. Some amazing looking crashes, but you it's hit and miss when it comes to one's humour when it comes to watching it.

    In NASCAR there are several position changes per lap on some tracks. Next week there's a race on a half-mile oval with 43 cars, can be some good craic :P

    My question is why does shaving have to be so "extreme". Personally I view shaving as a pain in the arse, hence only doing so once a week. Not that I shave my arse.

    How are peoples brains after the St Patricks day knees ups? I was not out yesterday as I had a 4 in a row previous. The first was a session to forget about the insipid drivel of a "football" match between Cork City and St Pats. The rest was just for funnsies.

    And thats another thing, I completely despise when people call it St Paddys Day.

    Because its St Patricks day. St Paddys day is an invention by the drinks industry. Not that it makes any difference as they will make a crap load of moeny on that day anyway. I suppose it is just one of those things that pisses me off like a fork scratching a plate.

    I saw one pub yesterday so keen on making money they hired a bouncy castle. Walking past the pub all you could see was all these kids outside the pub with their grandads. Credit to them they got plenty of business.

    I Agree it should only be called St Patricks day.

    Ya, it was poor enough alright. But in fairness, there has not been a decent episode in 10 years almost, so this was neevr going to be any different.
