I think we should be told.
I think it gives them something to hang on to in the shower after the match.

That produces a lot of images in my head I'd rather not have.

That's her. Though I don't really find her anywhere nearly as annoying as that foreign dyke they have on. Totsvig I think - it's almost enough to stop me watching it when I see her smug radio 4 grin.

Funnily enough she reminds me of my step-mother, same turn of phrase and accent. I don't her very funny either.

The players do not shave during the playoffs, or at least until their team gets knocked out. I'm not quite sure why, but its the same every year.

It's more the cameras staring at them. I assume you've never attended a game that's being televised.

I always thought such names were considered off limits on this site, being as it is not a "choice" thing? Whereas, "fat" is OK for the same reason

@steve,

What are you smoking?

The TV in Canada is crap and full of commercials every 10 seconds (the commercials in the UK are better btw)

And as for PVRs? Yeah you can buy one from one of the monopolies like Rogers, Bell Canada or Shaw for like $400 or else lock yourself into a "cheap" plan for 3 years.

Back home I could have picked up a PVR for fifty quid from tesco from several different brands.

Sorry but FAIL. Canada is great for many things. TV is not one of them.

Oh and don't get me started on the cost of mobile phones and mobile phone plans here. Christ on a Crutch!

Who cares about that... It's because she isn't funny that I object to seeing her on a tv comedy show.

She isn't your step-mother is she? As that would be some faux pas.

Isn't she married to the magician the great suprendo or something or other - I'm sure both have appeared on that show that used to be on telly in the morning where they would play charades - with Lionel Blair.

Says it all really
