I think the games, both Commonwealth and the Olympics need to introduce a few new sports. I was thinking Top Fuel Boats, the aforementioned Nitro Funnies, nude Volley Ball, and maybe Ultimate Fighting and beer top flicking.

Wonder how the blokes World partition is going for the vertical bar to become a sport in one of these events, would increase profits
I found the same .... so I turned ABC on an laughed to "Little Britain" for half an hour.

Mind you the repeats of House and NCIS was still much better than the crappy Opening Ceremony.

It wasn't enough that the Commonwealth Games have started, but they had to have jets flying around every 10 minutes! I swear if I heard that damn jet one more time I was going to shoot the bastard down! out:

Luckily for good old ABC, Spicks and Specks, Little Britain and The Glass House. Absolute saviour. :

Cheers,

They introduced netball and lawn bowls to keep us interested....... :ymca:

Bring on sports men will want to watch.

I can say I didn't watch one second of the opening ceremony. I will not watch any of the games either!

On Blokesworld they had a segment where they said they were pushing for the introduction of the vertical bar at the next Olympics i.e. pole dancing

Missed the opening ceremony. Was working. I do like to see us do well, especially the swimming, but find it hard to get into.

Simpsons are 24/7 on Fox8 during the games so I know what i'll be doing Didnt watch the opening ceremony... a sickening waste of money IMO. Could have done good things for good people instead of putting on a bull---- ceremony.

Cant say whether the opening ceremony was boring or not cause I fell asleep 10 minutes into it, and I wasnt even tired before it started. LOL

Yeah man,

I love watching the really old episodes. Homer has that really different voice.

Man they're old.
