    Default Commonwealth Games ...

    A lot in the news about them before they've even started.

    This tickled me though ...

    Fierce langur monkeys and snake charmers have been deployed at several Commonwealth Games venues across New Delhi to try to protect athletes and delegates from simian and reptile attack.

    Delhi's municipal authorities, long battling the city's unending monkey menace, have dragooned an army of 40 grey langurs, to scare off hordes of mischievous and belligerent rhesus monkeys.

    A band of snake charmers, armed with sonorous pipes, have been stationed at the athletes' Games village in an area heavily inhabited by snakes.

    Beware the snakes!

    I'm not sure whether the athletes are being prissy, or whether the sanitation really is atrocious. I think it depends whether they've got a clean bed, toilet and shower - or if they're asking for a vibrating massage-o bed, industrial sized sauna and instant room service.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    Every day I look up the games on the NZ website there seems to be pictures of the female hockey players ... brrr!

    Meanwhile it sounds like the stadiums are mainly empty with no-one turning up ... it all sounds like the Brits of Sport.

    Meanwhile one of our TV presenters has come in for a lot of trouble for giggling at someone's name ...

    TVNZ has come in for fresh criticism over its handling of Breakfast host Paul Henry's Indian slurs after it continued to prominently feature a clip on its website in which he ridicules the name of Commonwealth Games troubleshooter Sheila Dikshit.
