Commonweath Games
 

Yeah, not that you tanks care.
But the Commonwealth games kicked off today, opening ceremony was last night. NZ is playing 7's in about 30mins.
Let's go NZ! :D

I'm trying to watch it in the UK but the timing is all screwed up. Just saw some swimming, it was only the heats so was pretty meh. Looking forward to the rest of it though.

WOOO LETS GO NZ OI OI OI

So other than Rugby, what are you hoping NZ will win medals in?

I am in melb and I dont give a shit about the games

Ok that's nice.

Cycling and Netball, and a few athletic events, thats about it.

netball

yeah, it's a chick sport.

It's like pass the parcel, with a ball.

Yeah we beat Sri Lanka 73-0 or something like that in the 7's just before.

Need a mercy rule like Baseball has.

It's 0-73, We're living in Australia, not England. How much did Gilchrist make?

I reckon the idea of the Comm games are the greatest thing ever. It's a fuckload easier to win gold medals when you tell America & China to fuck off & stay in their own country. Although the USA probably have their own "world games" involving countries like NY, Boston, Chicago, Washington, etc. Although not involving China means that the viewing audience is immediately halved, it means that we don't have to bother to hire translators (although it woulda helped even for those who spoke English, for the Opening ceremony.

That makes 2 of us.

In fact it makes about 95% of the fucken population here.

Commonwealth Games can fuck off and so can the wankers who parade around the place in their vollunteer uniforms thinking they're top shit.

When I see those cunts I think "yeah, well I have a job you stupid fuck"

They're just yuppy sheilas, ambitious bums or old cunts. Give me the shits regardless.

Ditto over here.

My old man went today to watch the 7's, but that's only cause he had a ticket to a corperate box in Telstra Dome.

So NZ Won it's first Gold Medal, in the Pool none the less. Good effort.

Australia has like 2353456345 medals already... Must be on steroids.

Rugby 7s Finals are today, Come on NZ!

Come on England. Damn those Aussies.

I remember when I posed as Wee Gooner he told me "If RBF saks you anything, just answer with Gilchrist". So I did, and that wasn't the answer. And our plan was foiled. :(

I wish I could find that 'Chopper does the Commonwealth games' thing, classic.

But anyway, anything you have to go cheer on your grandmother at isnt a sport.

I imagine Canada is dominating in all the sports that actually matter.

SORRY, CURLING IS NOT A PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES.

You have a wild imagination.

I'm surprised USA didn't win any medals in the Shooting event. They need to get some of their rappers down there.

I hate the way the media is pushing these games as some major once in a life time event when it is obivous as you said that 95% of melbournites dont give a fuck.


I did laugh when it was reported that a few days before the games the commonwealth games council went into crisis mode because there was still so many unsold tickets so they made thousands of brochures to advertise the fact.

yianni hates every sporting event that doesn't involve a bunch of fat wogs falling over their own feet to try & get a free kick.

The greatest thing about these games are that they chucked all the homeless people off the street so we don't get annoyed by stupid cunts going upto you going "Do you have a spare dollar? I need it for <s>drugs, beer, ciggarettes & hookers</s> food and shelter."

But they still have poor sob's going "Big Issue. $4." :nono:

ARHGFHGHG they shit you! Especially on the entrance to Parliament station on the Spring Street side. And there is this old lady who at that end of Collins Street tries selling you this other fucking magazine as well. FUCK OFF!

Our Big Issues are only $3.

Still, nobody buys them

There used to be this spastic bastard in a wheelchair selling them on the cnr Collins/Russell, it was fuckin hilarious because he'd have his head to one side with drool going down the side of his face going "Three dollars. C'mon, it's three dollars!" And he'd get pissed off coz nobody would buy them. :D

& there's this black dude who is always selling them on the tram down Brunswick st & in all the restaurants around the area, I'm always thinking "
just piss off you cunt" but I just avoid contact with him & don't even look at him. :D

If Australia ever leaves the Commonwealth (soon I hope) then the whole thing will just fall to shit because the Games will become even more of a shitkickers event.

Even though the US has nothing to do with these games, they still get mentioned because we are just that amazing.

SHAKE THEM HATERS OFF

You don't leave the commonwealth.

What are you talking about. How does one change their heritage?
