Watch here

It's on Eurosport TV in France, which is fine for the next few days. But I return to the land of the Midnight Iced Hockey on Thursday. Is it on TV there?

You'll have to watch it online unfortunately as it can't compete with curling in Canada for airtime.

I suppose if you've smoked a fat one it could be pass the time. I rather miss the One Man and His Dog competitions, especially the Christmas specials.

HID is off to some present some bolloxy theory on bollox at a conference or something later this week so I envision, lots of lager, a large naff-off order of extra spicy Indian food and hours of snooker on the big telly. :thumbup:
