    Spent Easter over at a mates house. He'd recorded a load of American sports off late night Television and we spent most of a day watching them.
    There's not much better way of spending a weekend...(Apart from revising of course Mr examiner, don't hurt me...)

    Really got into the Ice-Hockey. What a crazy sport. The commentators didn't even know what was going on half the time. It got to a mad stage where one team took their goalie off so that they could have 6 vs 5 coming forward. Mad!

    Followed that by a baseball game. Never seen one before and my friend spent the entire game teaching me the rules. The team that was ahead coming up to the final stretch put on a specialist pitcher to "close out the game". He promptly walked 3 batters onto the 3 bases and then let the fourth guy hit a home run. Apparently that's called a Grand Slam... His coach wasn't best pleased :p

    I heartely encourage people to watch more of these...great fun, but if you're a fan of baseball then there's a Fantasy game site:

    www.fantasybaseballuk.com

    The season on there doesn't start for real until the 1st of May. You can sign up already,
    and start scoring, but they are going to reset it all before it starts. I'm in the Red Sox league if anyone joins.
