Ice hockey. Any sport that takes 1/2 hour to get dressed is just wrong. Also, its really boring. And the fights on ice look gay.

And the winter's are pants.

I'd agree that Hockey is tedious to the extreme, but not as boring as someone whose only contribution to BE is in 'Whats the worse (sic) thing about Canada / Australia' posts. Go away and play with yourself you shallow, feckless youth.

I disagree with your opinion on hockey but do agree with your assessment of the OP.

Actually I hadn't realised it had gone soooo off topic, seems to have veered back on topic a bit

Maybe a more lighthearted thread is needed

It doesn't really compensate though. After a brisk trudge to the pub through the snow one wants the smell of dog drying in front of the fire not that of well-worn-woman dampening at the bar.

You're right the smell of wet dog does sound more appealing.
