commonwealth games

Australia only get so many gold medals in the commonwealth games, because there is a disproportionate amount of swimming..

Why the need for all the different strokes is beyond me, what's wrong with just freestyle/as fast as you can?

It'd be like in athletics, having the 100m sprint, then the 100m running backwards, then the 100m hop, then the 100m skip, then the 100m walk...

Then the 200m sprint, then the 200m running backwards....

I think you see my point...

FFS "centries" is not the plural of "centuary".

Tho' I suppose with that big hook firmly lodged in your top lip it is a bit difficult to speak.

Well that's the answer, get the USA, China, Canadia and a few others into the commonwealth games. Ramp up the competition.

We could invade and conquer the US and China, then they'd have to be in the Commonwealth Games.

Shock and awe. Ce sont les billets.

No, what we should do is unconquer Australia and then with only Canadia as competition we would pwn. It would be a bit like all those cute "world" competitons the 'merkins have.
