What do people reckon?
First thought about the possibility of the Olympics heading to Brisbane is that the infrastructure here is struggling now, there is no way it would cope. Interesting thought though...........just remind me to get out of disaster management before then

Do you think that 'Hoon Drag-Racing' will be an Olympic event by then? The M1 is already able to host the event?

Highly likely
We could have "Hail-Forecast-Racing" too - how fast can everyone run to their cars and get them undercover?

'Barefoot Supermarket Sweep' as an Olympic event?

A field made up entirely of the checked flannel wearing mullet headed.

They should bring Stuart Hall out of retirement especially for the event. Eddy Waring could do the medal table.
