Commonwealth Games - Care Factor?
« on: February 24, 2006, 11:40:09 PM »
Care factor for me - zero  :sleep
Anyone going to the Games?
I have absolutely no interest at this stage.  When you don't have the world's best from all countries, this comp seems a bit obsolete to me.  No-one i know is going or even talking about it - might be a bit of a fizzer for the state.
Watching the bowls will be exciting  :ROTFL

I'm more keen on the footy starting ;). If I didn't hear it on 3aw I probably wouldn't even know the Comm games was starting in a couple of weeks time.

Lost interest in it once we started dominating over the past decade or so. I don't mind Advance Australia Fair as our anthem but not every 5 minutes lol. Good luck to the athletes as it would be a big deal if you were competing but like you Moi no one I know is going or even talking about it.

Maybe that's why the Winter Olympics are so "refreshing"

Og and BTW....

Commonwealth Games are already a fiasco. They have to move Australian athletes out of the Village coz they dont have enough houses and rooms to house them all. and here we were taking the pee out of the Greeks over the Athens Olympics. Commonwealth Games organisation= Farce!

Apparently each AFL club captain (that's our Sugar) on the fish will be passing the baton across the yarra and then onto Ron Barrassi.

Dunno if Ronnie deserves that honour but good luck to him.
Football is Melbourne and pretty appropriate IMO, but i wonder why he gets the honour. 
Been watching him every morning training to get fit - wonder if he knew long back.  Anyway, he's lost a fair amount of weight in that time and a credit to him - he's almost anal about getting out there every morning it seems.  He's got one strange training habit i've noticed - he walks along the bluestone wall these days, when there's a perfectly good path next to him lol.  Strange man.

Anyway, a bit of controversy here and don't hit me okay lol.  But i reckon Lou Richards should have been given the honour.  If Jack were alive, i would have said he deserved it.  But like Jack, Lou has been in footy for about seven decades - pretty amazing i reckon, and would have been a good choice.  But I don't particularly care - hope it's a good night for him.
