Although no-one seems to care this time around, my island home has absolutely crushed the rest of the Commonwealth in the latest games.
With less than 2% of population of the host country, India, we took nearly 75% more medals than them (they just beat us in the cricket, so...). Third place England gave us a better run for medal total but still failed miserably. But we're (much) less than half their population, so, nyah-nyah-na-nyah-nyah 
The also-ran Canada, well, we utterly destroyed them.

Has the Indian games finished already?
Not to be anti-sport but IMHO these games have as much relevance as the Queen to the average Aussie.
We Kicked a$$ but!

Perhaps. But it is relevant to those who are above average, those who compete and win 
And I happen to enjoy the competition.

Don't get deflected by pommy queen smoke screen, what do you want, another tier of bullshitters buying votes and a mandate..to do what??
Why not just proclaim Rolf Harris king? I'm sure he would do it for free.
No, you need to think...Your head of state is benign...You're lucky, and thats all that matters. UNLESS you feel the need for a STRONG LEADER or maybe a sybolic kind of identity gesture...? wierdness! IMO |
