I'm sure at some point in the past i've mentioned how anti-sport i am. Really, why would anyone want to run when no one is chasing them? So the fact that we're right in the middle of the Commonwealth Games doesn't exactly thrill me.

What thrills me less is the fact that they're being hosted in Melbourne and sport has moved from being a TV-show killer to something that is affecting my everyday life. Traffic is chaos, TV is crap and Australia is kicking ass which really is just rude, when you think about it - a host should be a bit more gracious than to be kicking butt all over the place and taking all the medals.

I did, however, like the way that in the opening ceremony, the olympic baton arrived with the 'high-tech message' inside from the Queen. The Queen then stepped forward....and read her speech of a piece of paper she got out of her pocket. i can't beleive she made them carry it all the way around the world and then didn't even read the message off the screen it appeared on.

I'm counting down the days until the Games are over. Why couldn't they have interesting sports - like pie eating or bumper car racing?
