Does curling have any kind of following in Scotland? :scots:
Yes.  Though it's a game you're more likely to play than watch (except internationally).  I think I'm the only curling fan in England :(

:console:

I just read yesterday that there's probably 200,000 active curlers in this country, but high level curling on TV can attract over a million viewers.   :)

We just finished our olympic trials over here.  Got a lot of television exposure.  But you have to love curling - the Canadian men's team is headed by Kevin Martin from Alberta.  Martin's team came up to Whitehorse in November to play in a cash bonspiel.  I went out to watch him play, and one of the guys I curl with was picked up as a spare on another team for the same bonspiel, and got to play against Martin.  So a multi-time Canadian champ was rubbing shoulders with some schlubs from Whitehorse, and they took him right to the last few rocks before he queaked out a victory.  Name me any other olympic sport where you can so easily play against the greats.

Eskimo bowling is practiced in Sweden.

Regardless of what you call it, it is still just drinking.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
