Just watching the "Wrap up" of the commonwealth games. We're on 23 gold and 56 total, compared to the next best, England who are on 8 gold and 25 total.

Thats insane. We own everyone.

was there ever any doubt about this?

Yes but prepare to be owned in the FIFA world cup in a few months time.

all their base are belong to us. pity the commonwealth games are s***.

yer would be awsome if we got 100 gold. last games we got 80 or something.

infi has a good point.

soo many of them countries i'd swear they make up to boost numbers.

it's like beating zimbabwe in cricket. no fun at all.

"The Chaser's War on Everything" on the ABC last week summed it up quite well really, with their commonwealth games song

it's an easy way to win, when you're the only team, come on australia let's share the one sided dream

etc

champagne comedy

i f***ing hate commonwealth and olympic games
swimming? boring
running? even more boring
rowing? for unco people

i dont rate any of these sports

no skillz required, wheres teh ball?>

can you f*** off out of everyones threads booyah/fpot et all

also yes we are owning at the c'wealth games :)

i concur with spook
the only sport i can bare to watch is the womens diving
but it would be better if they were only wearing a white t-shirt and panties

darwin is ok though

"Last 30 years"

What do wars have to do with the commonwealth games you bunch of c***s.


and yes we're totally pwning everyone else, however I find it particularly boring with all these "clean-sweeps" in the swimming...why should we even be allowed to have 3 swimmers in the one race?

Didn't Australia send troops to the first gulf war? (can't actually remember) plus there is the second gulf war, so if I'm correct 2.

What the hell is it with all the danm swimming. The only sport I'm interested in is the cycling, and I've only seen a single race so far due to being at work :(

Rowing for unco people, wtf ?

why should we even be allowed to have 3 swimmers in the one race?

Because other countries are allowed aswell?

The only good thing about olympics/commonwealth games are all the fit chicks in lycra! :)

they sure do have some hotties ni the swimming. also is it a rule that good swimmers must have small tits?

let's talk about sport politics.

and female swimmers...

But they have broad shoulders in comparision to their melons and everything is out of proportion. That and most of the time they're under water so the image is distorted. Unless you're talking about under water cameras then that's just going too much out of your way for a perv.

Is there beach volleyball in the commonwealth games? The birds in that are so fit it's unbelieveable. It's like you need to look f***ing hot as a pre-requisite to play for your country. Beach volleyball ftw.

Commonwealth games is like the olympics without any decent sporting nations. And its boring Rather watch football any day.

I believe canada has the second biggest oil reserves in the world...

:w-hat:

I have heard numerous times, in my meger viewing of the games, that a certain competitor was the best in the world, world champion, olympic gold medalist/record holder... youd think australia was at least a decent country :(

I'm just happy that I missed the entire event and haven't seen any of it

The U.S. government said Thursday Canada holds the world's second-largest oil reserves, taking into account Alberta oil sands previously considered too expensive to develop.

Furthermore:
In Billions of Barrels:

1. Saudi Arabia / 261.8


2. Iraq / 112.5


3. United Arab Emirates / 97.8


4. Kuwait / 96.5


5. Iran / 89.7


6. Venezuela / 77.7

Bah... and all the rest aren't worth mentioning. There you have it folks, worldwide oil reserves. This information is dated 2004.

Canada, England are both more populated than us, and we're thumping them

I liked the fact that they showed some of the squash last night.

I enjoy watching sports that you know people actually play for recreation and you can relate too. Rugby,basketball,racket sports etc are so much more enjoyable for me to watch than stuff like shotput and others that you know only an extremely small minority of people actually participate in. The more modern sports that are added to the games the better :)

yeah, squash on any kind of tv let alone commercial channel, how's that for rarity

missed last night's match, not happy

They should just rename commomwealth games to tri-nations.... I mean seriously it's not even a competition any more, so boring to watch.

Death to the monarchy!

hey, me and my buddy at work both enjoyed that they showed some squash as well

it was nice to have an event that takes skill shown, rather than a mindless ability to cope with pain and suffering

less nuking more banning!
