BANG FOR YOUR BUCK,
RUBBLE FOR YOUR RUPEE
Commonwealth Games ads have started appearing on TV, and I don’t know about you, but I’m doing a pretty good job right now of keeping a lid on my excitement.
There’s been accusations of shoddy construction, but Indian sports officials are confident the games will be a success. They are confident of seeing a new world record in the 100m sprint- not from an athlete, but a spectators fleeing a collapsing stadium.
Furthermore, use of child labor has been alleged in the construction of several Indian sporting venues . Have a look at the crappy job they’ve done on the soccer stadium:
SO LONG BEN
Troubled AFL star Ben Cousins has announced his retirement from the game this week. Kids will have to find a new role model to look up to. This includes Elmo, who’s taken down his Cuz poster, and replaced it with someone far more respectable:

Staying with sportsmen who’ve, ummmm, ‘overindulged’, here’s a sporting event that may be popular with certain nuggety, Tasmanian former batsmen… find out what sport it is here.
Speaking of marathons, six years of global conflict ended 65 years ago, this week, when Japan surrendered, thereby ending World War Two.
Germany surrendered in May, after six years of war. How it took the Allies that long to beat such a clueless enemy is beyond me (but not Irish comedian Dave Allen):
Of course, let’s not forget the Italians, who fought with the Japs and Jerries. They, of course, always had the reputation of being lovers, not fighters. That may apply to their soldiers, but not their uptight mothers: See what got Mum all steamed up.
So take a moment to remember the sacrifices of those who served. Or in the case of teenagers on Anzio beach, those who perved.
Most popular beach in Italy. (news.com.au - marc mccormack)
FORGIVE UND FORGET
A German is now coach our Socceroos. And can I be the first to offer a million dollars of Barry’s money to the first sub editor who captions a photo of our first goal under Holger Osieck with the words:
Hans of God!!!
WHO’S COUNTING?
Onto politics now, and the most desultory election campaign of the modern era draws to a close. Tony Abbott is hoping to get enough votes- just don’t ask him to count them:
