Probably won't watch as I do not have a television. I can remember the days when international rugby and cricket went live to air. Should be televised.

I did not troll, and neither did they! You posted on a sporting comp - the Commonwealth Games - and I raised a topical sporting matter in NZ (because Red Aert doesn't have a general debate post to raise matters on). <strong>Frankly Bob I don't care what you think of me and your unsubtle appeals won't help at all. Just cause I mention sport doesn't mean you can jump to middle eastern politics. If one of my colleagues wants to blog on the topic then fine otherwise tough. On my posts I decide who is trolling and you so are. Warning any more and you go to moderation and Clare might ban you. Trevor</strong> Okay – I agree with pdm and Spud, Trevor.

They've got more important things on their mind like having somewhere to live and something to eat.

Where are we going with the Commonwealth Games.

Who cares?

Is it important anymore?
No.
