you would think a country with 100 billion people [india] would be able to put some bums on seats at the Commonwealth Games,might as well have it in Wonky Corner for the amount of people attending!
and now my bum-cheeks are finally unclenched after Field Marshall Montgomerie brings home the Ryder Cup,bloody close though :-p

When you say bum seats, are you talking about cushioned seats ?  It is more practical to have seats without cushion in case of rain for outdoor venues and vandalism (cutting the cushions).

^no,im on about having people watch the actual games." putting bums on seats" is an English term  for an audience or people in attendance of a sporting/musical event
saw a clip of the games on the BBC earlier and the stands/arenas were totally empty in places

Thanks for the english lesson  (my mind was sleeping)  :-D

I think the country under estimated the effort required in organising these events.

Will Liverpool FC be changing their name to Liverpool Red Sox now that they have been bought over?

So I finally got my Queen stuff from Japan this week which I had shipped out to my friend who I'm visiting in New York city this week. Looking at them, I noticed there was a rather amusing Engrish mistake on the lyric sheet for the Japanese "I Was Born To Love You" CD3 Single: "I was bone to love you" Oh Fredd...er, you silly Japanese xD

^reminds me of when karaoke first became popular over here and the disks were from Japan,the lyrics on the screen for certain Queen songs were nothing on the originals :-D

LOL. Sounds like failblog.org worthy material!

^ "i'll take you to the Severn and see the pies" was my fave karaoke twisted lyric

That reminds me a an old cassette tape I had of Slade's greatest hits. The inlay card with the "lyrics" on it were hilarious to say the least. A particular fave was from the song Far, Far Away. Accirding to the inlay the first line was "I've seen the yellow lights go down the Miss is hippy" instead of the original version which of course was "I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi"

Classic.

*joxer's trip down memory lane*
when i was a little lad and Slade were all but a distant galmrock memory Dave Hill was involved in a celebrity Its A Knockout at Butlins Bognor Regis and one of the games was a "donkey derby" where the 'celeb' had to pull a donkey ridden by a child around an obstacle course containing giants and princess' and Dave's donkey won the race..
have a guess who was Dave Hill's 8yo donkey jockey? :-D

"you would think a country with 100 billion people [india] would be able to put some bums on seats at the Commonwealth Games"

I'm glad no one's going.  I've been saying "India should never have been awarded the Games" to people and they assume it's a racist thing.  They never let me finish my point, which is basically that no country should really be holding Commonwealth Games.  In fact the Olympics should probably be shitcanned as well.  A city like Dehli or Beijing should not be allowed to host Games.  They beautify certain parts of the town to make things 'nice' in the eyes of the world, but the rest of the place?  It's still a shit hole.  Same thing happened with the Sydney Olympics.  'What's that, protesting aboriginals?  Let's shove them in a cupboard some place ...'

I say - don't give Games of any description to a city or state unless they're prepared to really fix things!
