    Commonwealth Games ....

    ... whats that all about then ?
    Seems like an excuse to compete at stupid 'sports':
    • Solo synchronised swimming
      Synchronised with what ? Surely its just dancing in water ?
    • Table tennis
      Isn't that something you used to do on a Thursday night at the youth club to get you off the streets from mugging old grannies and dealing drugs ?


    These aren't sports, they are hobbies. What next ? Competition Lager Drinking, Armchair Surfing, Speed W*nking ?

      From your level of sporting knowledge, I'd wager you're overweight and have a beer belly.

          No chance of winning that. Threaded is the undisputed King of the Universe Pie Eating Champ.

            What amuses me is how brilliantly well we're doing - winning lots of medals and the like. Of course, competing against the likes of IoM, Jersey, and some tinpot principality no-one's ever heard of is going to give us a decent advantage. If Australia weren't part of the 'commonwealth' we'd be top of the league table!

                Before the game started the Aussie press were talking about having Australia split into its states and entered seperatly. In the last games New South Wales would have got more medals than anyone else on their own without the help of the other states.

                  I don't see why people watch this stuff. Sure you if are taking part there is an adrenalin surge, but just watching in your armchair - where is the achievement in that.

                  I get my surges by looking over finely tuned C++ code. There is the thrill of the bug hunt, the joy of an optimisation and the contentment of a satisfied customer.
