Who really gives a toss about the Commonwealth Games? Who really knows what the Commonwealth actually is these days and if they do who cares?Either way there will be a load of it on the BBC with the pretence that it is some kind of major event as the Beeb's 'live' sports output is all minority stuff these days (Apart from F1, of course).
Delhi has been described as the most dangerous Commonwealth Games venue in history.
Really? Ahead of Glasgow 2014, that just sounds like fighting talk.
Seriously, you think a couple of roof tiles in a weighlifting gym is bad?
Try running a marathon through Easterhouse.
The Glasgow Games will be the only ones in history where the crowd bring their own javelins. I still don't know how my home town won that bid.
I reckon the organisers turned up and saw loads of people hanging round street corners in tracksuits, and just presumed Glasgow folks were a sporty lot.
In fairness, Glasgow wouldn't let building work affect events. In fact, they'd incorporate it. Use the scaffolding for gymnastics, dive into drying cement for the long jump. And you haven't witnessed proper competition until you've seen the shot putt done with a half brick.
Awright Jimmy !
