A metric twatting? Is that to comply with the new EU Twatting Directive?

I'm only 26 and I still work in feet and inches We officially went metric in 1973, when we acceded to the then Common Market.....so I thought hey I'll give it a go....its the future and I liked the idea of being European.....had to unlearn loads of stuff about chains, furlongs.....quarts, gallons..... ounces, pounds, hundredweights and tons etc. But it was easy enough, I'm quite good at forgetting stuff. |

For Ice Hockey fighting, I recommend cult 70's film "Slapshot", featuring Paul Newman. Lots of ridiculous lines in it as well... You can't go wrong! |

I remember my kids being conceived and the relationship with STFC....and the game I had to leave the missus for after the birth of number one. But I forgot about this thread. |

I used to regularly watch Swindon Chill/Wildcat/Lynx after home games when I was in primary school, loved it.

Love a bit of ice hockey. Nhl Season starts tonight. 'Mon the Leafs! I also used to be the physio for the Swindon team while they were the Swindon Phoenix (i think) was quite a few years ago now. Great fun and the fights are great too! Atmosphere is shit though  |

Another 'Leafs fan here. I say fan, I mean I read their results on teletext. Blame the misses cousins, bleedin' moose fuckers! Saw them play in the Air Canada centre last time we were in Toronto. Nice stadium, like the way it converts to a basketball (bloke netball) court too. Prefered the Maple Leaf Gardens though.
Anyway, strangest crowd chant I heard was at the SJ Shark v Dallas stars. Sharks score their 4th, organ does the Scooby Doo 'puppy power' thing, everyone chants "PIZZA"! Apparently a local Pizza company was sponsoring the game and to quote the bloke next to us "4 in the net, Pizza we get". Other than that American crowds 'suck ass'.
Been to a few Swindon games, was reasonably good fun if a little local league-ish.
