Skip Cottage Curling: July 2011
http://skipcottagecurling.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. Curling's future secure at Perth. One definition of rumour. Bill assured me that the future for the Dewar's Centre was positive, rather than negative as the rumours were suggesting. He said then, "Can I take this opportunity to remind the curling world that our financial position continues to be stable, and like all good businesses, we are always looking for new development opportunities to take our business forward.". Perth and Kinross Council has agreed to provide £5 million...

Skip Cottage Curling: March 2011
http://skipcottagecurling.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Rhona Martin did the honours in throwing the official 'opening stone', with local young curlers Fiona Telfer and Naomi Whyte in attendance. And here we all were, with the question, "How much help would Rhona's stone need to get to the tee? Actually, very little. Pretty much right on the poppy, Rhona, well done, although the perfectionists would say that Ruaraidh Whyte must have given her a couple of inches too much ice! Photos © Skip Cottage.

Curling, curling, curling. Lets go Phillies 2010. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Been a very long time since the last post. I guess the whole blogging thing is just blaise at this point. Anyway, the Phils are making a run at another World Series, the club is open and leagues start soon. Lots of newbies from Olympics are members and jumping in with both feet. Still don't have much to write about. Maybe after the Phils win another world championship. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Curling News blog.

Curling, curling, curling. Lets go Phillies 2010. Thursday, February 18, 2010. I need to vent. Okay, completely Olympic curling related. Really, these are the best teams in the US? You can't draw the fucking eight foot? Time to find a new sport champ. You suck! You had a run, now find a bar to throw darts in and drink beer full time. Please, if that had a clue it would say "go home and play ping pong". Seriously, at 54 with two bad knees I like my chances against either team. Okay, now I feel better.
