Australians all let us rejoice...

So ends the Melbourne XVIII Commonwealth Games 0f 2006.



And with it goes 11 days of biased games reports and coverage, over-excessive airtime of the Australian anthem, constant playbacks of Australians winning their gold medals and the rape, murder and butchering of the song Fix You by Coldplay.

Strangely..throughout the 11 days, all I've seen is swimming, swimming, and more swimming...and, oh yea, a smattering of other games in which the Aussies were winning in when the swimming ended.

What happened to good old badminton? or rythmic gymnastics? Actually, what happened to the other nations who won? How come all I heard was Australia Fair??

Damn you, Channel 9.

Asides from that, the games were great, too bad Nicol didn't win, and kudos to the Malaysian badminton team, the rythmic gymnasts (although you guys didn't win gold but you still got a medal in every event), the handicapped athletes who made me think twice about procrastinating my long intended jog, and of course, The Australians Contingent.

You guys kicked ass, dincha?
