92.0. "Curling????????" by AYOU46::D_HUNTER (This is my Personal_name!) Thu Aug 04 1988 10:32

    Anyone out there in Canada Notes-land keen on Curling? If so,
    reply here as I am a rabid Scots curler whose ambition is to
    play against either Al Hackner or Eigel Ramjsfel and beat
    them both. 
    
    BTW I now play in a rink whose skip beat Hackner at the
    Edinburgh International 5 years ago.

	Sorry Don, I've skipped curling for years because it wrecks
my hair, but my wife still curls hers.  I'd rather play "Shove ha'penny".

92.2Love a Grand Match!KAOA12::SMELLIEThu Aug 04 1988 18:5912
    Of course there are Roaring keeners here! Just call me Granite Junkie.
    
    I've never had the chance to play Hackner, but I do remember missing
    a week of classes the year the Brier was in town. And I did get
    to meet the Swiss juniors in about '85 or '86, when we were on the
    same plane coming east from the Winnipeg spiel (they fared a little
    better than I did that year).
    
    I think Hackner isn't all that hard to beat, but Hackner with Lang,
    that's another story.

92.3Why don't you come over...STKSMA::AHLGRENMy God, It's full of stars!!Wed Nov 30 1988 10:2222
    Hi there!
    
    I'm from Sweden and has played for about 11 years now. I play in
    a rink that is among the top-15 in Sweden. I have never made it
    to a championship, but I've beaten most of the Swedish World-Cup
    teams.
    
    I have also been an umpire during the Ladys World Championship
    in J�nk�ping in '85. The Canadian Rink with Linda Moore won that
    one (the best lady's team I've seen).
    
    If you wish to have a chance to beat Ramsfjell come over to Sweden
    next year in the end of October when we have our grand tournament.
    We're planning to have a lot of Europe's best teams here...
    
    Paul.
    
    (Who has beaten Ramsfjell and S�rum as well... :-) )
    
    If there are any intrest in a Curling Conference I'll be happy to
    host one.
    
92.4Hello from TorontoTRCO01::ROSSThu Dec 01 1988 09:0821
    Curling Conference!!!
    I'm very interested.  Start it up please. I will contribute.
    
    I live in Oakville, just outside of Toronto. I am a part time reporter
    for the Ontario Curling Report.  I play as a skip at least 4 times
    a week. 
    I had the pleasure of watching Ed Werenich's team beat Russ Howard's
    team last weekend in the finals of a cash spiel. Ed has John Kawaja
    playing vice, and Hackner's old front end - Tetley and Perroud.
    Ed and his team took home $10,500 plus trips to New York for a weekend.
    So far this year, I have had the pleasure of interviewing Marilyn
    Dart, Howard, Werenich and many other famous Ontario Curlers.
    
    Better stop now and save some of this for a curling conference.
    
    Until then...... keep them in front of the Tee-line.

    If you press SELECT or KP7 (Key-Pad 7) while looking at .5 it will
    add the curling conference to the notebook.  Nice and easy with
    minimal typing.
    
    Scott.
92.8Is there anybody out there???STKSMA::AHLGRENNo commercial potential!Wed Jan 31 1990 03:0018
    Hi again...
    
    I wonder, Canada is THE curling country in the world, but still
    we are only about 10 people reading and writing in the Curling
    conference.
    
    There must be more you guys and girls out there that loves the sport.
    If you do please join us in our curling conference.

92.9On the rocks or no sweeping changes.POLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestWed Jan 31 1990 10:1610
    Hello Paul,
    
    	I for one do love curling but I am surprised that I do not know
    of anyone else in Digital Canada that curls.
    
    	Have you people in Sweden heard about Canada's famed Grand Canal?
    
    I must bring this to an END,

92.10Blow-dry after curling???KAOM25::RUSHTONSupport the Grand Canal!Wed Jan 31 1990 12:5413
  <<Have you people in Sweden heard about Canada's famed Grand Canal?
    
  Ah, Paul?  I would be very careful about Glenn's LEADing question
  concerning the Grand Canal.  Just SKIP over it, at least until he
  gets his HOUSE in order.  He only talks about our beloved canal
  when he's two SHEETS to the wind, I don't how he can HACK that LINE.

  I'll SECOND your comment about Canada being THE curling nation of the
  world - what sort of curling irons do you use in Sweden?

  BYE for now,

  Pat

    You guys are HOGGING all the answers. We should just SWEEP the bad
    ones away. 
    
    You can DRAW your own conclusions about the Grand Canal but I would
    say you were probably on the BUTTON if you ignored them.
    
    Now if you want to RAISE some more issues, we should decide on a
    rotation system for answers so we could all be IN TURN.
