Well there's only 1 day of competition left in the games most of the world doesnt care about here in Melbourne, and the medal table looks something like this:

(Gold, Silver, Bronze, Total)
Code: 
1 Australia	79	64	64	207	
2 England	32	39	31	102	
3 Canada	22	28	30	80	
4 India		21	17	11	49	
5 South Africa	12	12	13	37	
6 Scotland	11	7	11	29	
7 Jamaica	10	4	8	22	
8 Kenya		6	5	7	18	
9 New Zealand	5	10	13	28	
10 Malaysia	4	7	7	18


Yup, Australia has more medals than the second and third countries combined, and more gold medals than second, third, and fourth combined.

The national anthem is starting to sound very repetitive... Go Aussies :D

The Aussies always win everything. Plus it's in Melbourne this year which makes it lightly worse.

:( Scotland were 4th last time I checked that list. :(
nope.

Haha :p

Yeah, but we usually do at the Commonwealth Games. It's like that bit in the Simpsons: "And the [Australians] jump out to an early lead, although we should mention most of the other swimmers come from countries that dont have swimming pools."

although you didn't do as well at swimming this year as you usually do, England/Scotland/Wales had one of the best Commonwealth's for many many years in swimming.

That aside you still spanked everyone else, nothing new there then.... :rolleyes:
People of our generation should not be subjected to mornings.

Actually they got 3, if you count the 2 by that EAD swimmer :p

Also, our women won 16 gold out of 21 events in the pool.

You Aussies need to contribute to mankind rather than just playing games all day.

I mean seriously, just about every Aussie has now won a gold medal in something, right?

Oi, most of the Scot's medals were in the pool too. We just don't have as many. :(
nope.
2006-03-26, 12:54 PM #21
DAMN!? Where are all the sports the brits are Natural at?

I mean...

Moaning in the bus queue?

Getting drunk and falling over?

Being Pale?

oh, and Dett's right.

You just surf and swim all day.

Even your women have biceps bigger than my left buttcheek.

We're forming a monopoly on the Commonwealth's gold supply in an attempt to destabilize the international economy with the ultimate goal being Australia as the worlds only superpower. Is that contributing?

Fine with the USA, we're already independent of our gold and silver :D
