[quote]New Zealand, Scotland and the Isle of Man are reportedly considering a boycott of Sunday's Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in New Delhi. The three countries are seeking assurances over security and logistic issues before committing to walk in the ceremony with Canada also raising concerns at a chefs de mission meeting before agreeing to take part. Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper said the threat came with New Zealand seeking more explicit details about the ceremony, in particular time demands on athletes and the most up-to-date security intelligence. The newspaper report said one of the concerns related to the length of time the athletes would have to stay in the main stadium, as many countries said they wanted their athletes to march but then return immediately to the village, missing the cultural show and the official opening speeches. About two-thirds of New Zealand's contingent of athletes and officials were expected to march in the ceremony behind netball player Irene van Dyk, who is the team flag bearer. Australia has no plans to join the boycott threat although most of the swimming team are expected to skip the opening ceremony ahead of the start of their competition on Monday.[/quote] Source: [url]http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8097749[/url] It's Left 4 Dead 2 in Australia all over again.

People in my Indian community keep complaining about media bias regarding the hygine thing by forwarding emails showing drunks in the UK. I forwarded Shogoll's article to all of them so they can finally shut the fuck up
