He has mismanaged the public face of Curling in this country for far too long, and we need to find some way to replace him at the helm of the CCA.Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209747.post-63813455366715412062007-03-12T13:15:00.000-04:002007-03-12T13:15:00.000-04:00Paul, yes - thanks very much.

The fans loved it. Nothing like the CBC to blight the game.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381375391429892061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209747.post-211946673074850362007-03-12T12:55:00.000-04:002007-03-12T12:55:00.000-04:00I was referring to the fact that Stoughton, down f...I was referring to the fact that Stoughton, down four after nine was ready to shake, but was informed by Warren Hansen that the CCA's contract with the CBC (yes, another one of those) forbid it. They were required to play the tenth. I thought Jeff's solution was clean and tidy, and sent exactly the right message to Hansen.Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209747.post-1496091114096218552007-03-12T10:13:00.000-04:002007-03-12T10:13:00.000-04:00Hammer, this is an excellent idea.

He already uses one of those three-foot broom-crutches on his deliveries - why not an automatic sweeper for his team?<BR/><BR/>Paul, not sure which controversy you're referring to. Unfortunately, I was writing a paper during the final and only read about it this morning. I have no doubt, however, that the guy who was sitting behind me on Saturday could have offered a full break-down of that controversy. It looks like Gushue's call to go for two in the 7th has columnists suggesting he needs Russ Howard's counsel on a regular basis.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381375391429892061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209747.post-32403726614150389532007-03-12T08:57:00.000-04:002007-03-12T08:57:00.000-04:00Any comments about the 9th/10th end controversy?Any comments about the 9th/10th end controversy?Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209747.post-28243822494978817402007-03-12T08:23:00.000-04:002007-03-12T08:23:00.000-04:00When I was playing in my work league on Friday nig...When I was playing in my work league on Friday night, I thought of the ultimate labour saving device. <BR/><BR/>It's called "The Lazy Man's Curling Broom". <BR/><BR/>What you do is take a garden variety, gas-powered Whipper Snipper and take out the wire/twine that is used to cut weeds along your fence or deck.<BR/>Then, you place some felt or some other kind of fabric on the bottom on the outside of the cylinder (which fomerly contained the wire or twine) spins around, and there you go - adjustable speeds and all. <BR/><BR/>Sweeping would be a thing of the past. <BR/><BR/>Think there would be a market for it?Road Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909843218677446725noreply@blogger.com
