Golden ending

It was not the end the Australia home crowd wanted but then they have gorged themselves on the gold rush as it is. New Zealand's women took the final gold of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in an electrifying netball final accompanied by screams, boos and ear-popping cheers. Pockets of black-shirted Kiwis rocketed up out of their seats as their amazonian women clinched the last prize 60-55. Any New Zealand victory would not be complete without the Haka and I could not believe I had to wait a whole 10 minutes before the men finally got it together. It was worth the wait - after seeing the swimmers do it topless, this time I saw a trio of silver-haired foxes in action. You didn't think I was going to say bottomless did you?

this is not a true blog if the comments have to be approved. Aside from that does anyone know anyone who watched the Commonwealth Games over in Europe or UK?
