Today's Delhi Disaster

[Mich the Tester]

BBC News - Concerns mount over Delhi Games as athletes pull out

Just look at the film at the top; even if they clear up that rubble I wonder what events they can hold on a track like that. The 'uphill a bit and downhill a bit 100 metres', 'the inclined hurdles; see if you can jump them all before they tip over' or 'the world's most difficult egg and spoon race'.

I reckon they blew the bridge to enable them to cancel the games.

Tricky buggers.

I wonder what will collapse tomorrow.

The teams shouldn't get too precious about their accommodation. Moaning about bad plumbing whilst most Indians don't have access to clean water supplies, yet alone sewage, is grotesque. Teams should fly out and offer to help sweep up the rubble in the athletes village rather than issue threats about not turning up.

Bridge not part of SLA. No no, bridge part of gold service contract; you upgrade, you get bridge.

No specification for strength of bridge; you no say people go walk over it.

They're Indian, not Chinese!

I avoid the guardian like the plague because of rubbish like this. Swamp, next time put the warning at the top of the post.

Quoting the Guardian should result in a week long banning. Repeat offenders should be shot.

Hurraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! Three loud cheers for India!

If the games get cancelled the missus might not want to watch athletics morning, noon and night. I have just been through umpteen weeks of frigging tennis with the US Open and the Davis Cup.

AND it's a news series of Come Dancing soon. Has the coalition changed the law to allow justifiable homicide yet?
