Shoddy building standards, shoddy workmanship, money being siphoned off in backhanders and NOW the Indian government steps in? Erm starting work more than 12 months ago would have helped and actually getting some of the building built, checked and passed off with more than 12 days notice would have been a bonus.
It's making London 2012 look almost professionally handled!! |

Athletes are too mollycoddled nowadays.
Alf Tupper would have went over the day before the games started, finished building the village and stadium, cleaned them up, saved the life of a local Indian Princess by rescuing her from stereotypical nasty native types, had to run 5 mile to the stadium to make the start of his race (stopping only for the obligatory fish supper from the only decent fish and chip shop in India).. and still win the Gold Medal. No lottery grants required either. :D |

All the premuim works must be overseas or call centres :D

Filthy living conditions in a third world country that's not suitable for humans to live in?
Are they talking about India or the East end of Glasgow for 2014? :D |

Having said that, I don't think there are any bridges. I tend to keep my eyes on the road watching out for the many potholes, the depth of which would be the envy of most 3rd world countries. :( I don't understand why they're holding the diving competition in Embra. I'm sure when some of the potholes fill with rain there is a sufficient landing area for competition. A bit of scaffolding and a plank of wood, and voila, Parkhead's own diving centre. |

Personally if I was an athlete I would NOT go. Even though It is a privilege to represent your country, the health risks are not worth the risk.
