@Chris:

Screw you, NBCSN.  I don't want to watch SOU play LIV in the Premier League.  I don't know who those teams are, and I don't care.  I want to watch curling, luge and other obscure sports; which is what your online guide promised to be showing right now.

Those things you mention, “curling” and “loogies”, you just made them up didn’t you, they’re not real. You crack me up Chris [emoji1]

Also any sport without an offside rule isn’t really a sport and shouldn’t be on TV.

Except for snooker.

@Seul:

Except for snooker.

And darts. Seul is right. Games where you traditionally can smoke and drink while playing are absolutely TV approved.

[Seul]

And darts, of course.

And of course you have to drink every time a 180 is scored…

Oooooooooone hundred and eeeeeeeeeightyyyyyyy * GULP GUP GULP *

Curling is basically snooker on ice.  And how can anyone hate a sport that has broomstacking?

[Chris]

I just watched a great  tiebreaker match between the Chinese and Norwegian mixed doubles teams to decide who advances to the quarterfinals.  You bring shame to your country of residence, neph.

I’ll bet my left nut that the two EPL games on Norwegian telly today got bigger audiences than any Olympic programming. They bring shame upon themselves mate, they don’t need me to do it [emoji23]

Let's not talk about that. Seriously what the eff is going on with them?!  Kudos to Newcastle and no disrespect to them but damn there is no reason we should be losing to them.  Can't we just put sir Alex back in charge?  He's at every freaking game anyways.

20 quid for a bunch of roses… feeling like a mug

Sounds like a bargain. Try a ton for 12 long stemmed ones in my neck of the woods.

Wow, bet the champagne isn't cheap either..

[Jett129]

Good News-Wife allergic to roses,Bad News-She loves champagne truffles from Switzerland,and there’s 1 place in NYC you can get them. Roses would have been cheaper.

I front loaded our relationship with "I have an extreme pollen allergy (True), so you should never expect flowers"…..

Once or twice a year, I buy flowers, and she LOVES that I make that "sacrifice" for her...

I'll be driving home from Heathrow with flowers tomorrow, since I missed Valentine's Day. Hopefully, I can find some allergy medicine at the airport.....

Silk flowers, the flowers that keep giving…........allergy relief.

I jibbed the flowers this year and went for something expensive that she wants and needs. Scored a lot of points 

[Aetas]

Flowers X scoring points was the way to go this year @neph93 
Came back healthy from my ski trip! Seems to be enough. Puh…

[Jett129]

So I guess you guys know about the point system to a happy marriage/relationship. Example-Take wife out to dinner for Valentines Day +50,It’s a brew pub-20,the waitresses are toppless -100 You get the idea.

At least cashing in those points won’t turn into another child this time…

I’m honestly surprised no one else said it lol

Still waiting on the all clear for that so I'm taking no chances. With my luck+superhuman levels of fertility  I'd end up with triplets right before the finishing line

I'm of the opinion that having a points surplus at any given time is a sound strategy. You never know when dumb shit is going to occur and you find yourself in dire need of them.
