Commonwealth Games: Millions Tune In To See Who Will Die In Delhi
THE Commonwealth Games risked being a non-event until the boffins in Delhi enlivened it with a new Modern Pentahlon. Who now cannot resits tuning it not see:
CEILING LIFT
The ceiling has collapsed in the weightlifting zone. Can the Welsh team keep it up before the plasterboard crushes them to death?
PIPE VAULT
As the floor gives way, pole vaulters have just seconds to chose an implement with which to cross the growing divide – plastic, copper or lead (controversial).
LONG JUMP
The pedestrian bridge has collapsed. Bits of it may collapse beneath you as you run. Look on as the athletes defy gravity – for a bit before plummeting into a huge hole. Added pints for screams, somersaults and twists.
DENGUE RUN
Marvel as the rhythmic gymnasts use fly swats and lengths of double-sided sticky tape tied to ribbon to run through the athletes’ village.
DOWN THE DUNNY
The swimming pool is filling up with raw sewerage from the pipe beneath the diving boards. On the command “FLUSH!” the swimmers dive in and swim desperately away from the toxic tide.
Says one sports fan: “Fiver says Pakistan wins.”

That looks like a peanut embedded in the end so it could be either a Picnic or the real thing. I wouldn’t expect the real thing to be lying on the bottom though unless it had been there for quite some time or the perpetrator was eating almost no dietary fibre

“…Added pints for screams, somersaults and twists.” ..are you sure the athletes will have time for drinking alcohol on their way down into the abyss, Anorak? sounds more like the long drop than the long jump ….

Picnic I reckon. Or that one that’s exactly the same as a picnic, what’s it called again?
