Is that the end of the Curling season then?

[ritchiebaby]

Not far off it now, Snooty. There are the World Mixed Doubles and World Seniors still to come from 22 to 29 April. They are held concurrently in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada so guess who'll be favourites. There probably won't be much of a preview, as I'll be down in spiritematt's neck of the woods just before the curling starts.

Thanks once again for your company on this thread.
