Haha. I had a co-worker who was dating an ice-hockey fan back in the 80’s - he bought her a table hockey game for her birthday - didn’t get away with that one. 
7th of April, eh? Hmmm. So we might see some second hand ones hit the market around … September, I reckon.

Speaking of hockey (no need to qualify with it with “ice”), BOOO-YEAHHH! Way to go ladies, nice comeback today for GOLD![/quote]
Oh, yeah! What a final it was! Very entertaining. I hope Sweden win it in the men’s tournament, but I’m basically just looking forward to the semis either way. Norway were shit, as expected.

Are you from Norway, Daisuk? Impressive medal haul (despite the hockey team) for a small population.[/quote]
Yeah, I think Norway is the nation with the most gold medals (and medals) in the history of the winter olympics, actually. There’s all these hermit type people here, snow all year around in some parts of the country, so you get a bunch of nerds that are really, really good at cross country skiing, for instance (where most of the medals come from). Cross country skiing is huge in Norway, but not really anywhere else in the world. During the skiing world championship in Oslo a couple of years back the city just went on a two week break - everything stopped - everyone was watching everything, while the rest of the world was pretty much oblivious to it.
