I read the rules just now. It took me ages. And what's up with that "How's that?" phrase? Is that real?

Yeah.

Appealing to the umpire is a big thing and shouting 'Howzat?' is just asking the umpire to declare a batsman out.

It's one of these sports that can only be understood by watching/playing and not just by reading the rules.

Oh gosh, didn't expect anyone to take curling seriously in here. :D

I can imagine it being fun to do yourself though.

I've only been a couple of times, but it's a good giggle.

Especially trying to run along the ice and do the sweeping thing at the same time. :D

Yeah, bowling's pretty dull.

I might take it up once I'm too old and decrepit to play golf any more.

Or I might just go for a spot of euthanasia.
