Gold Coast saved Sri Lanka from the financial disaster of hosting the CWG.
Ha ha ha indeed. And iron, coal, gas, oil, woodland, and maritime territory.

good thing about GC bid was most of the facilities are already existing eg Carara Stadium, Skilled Park Std, Convention ctr, etc. The SriLanka bid was stung by the controversial Delhi games.

Oh I know, it's still going to cost us big time though. Maybe I'll be a bit happier when they come round, all I can think at the moment is what a complete waste of money it is when there are way more important things to spend it on - same as always. Shame it was only between us and SL, there was never any chance of us not getting them.

It's very sad but it needs to happen, they have to flush the shit out of the system. The longer they put it off with money printing the worse it will be.

Re: Britain: an economic train wreck
The source of the problem is the part getting the printed money - meanwhile the rest of the economy is getting knifed in the ribs by idiots.
