Birmingham Commonwealth Games

Australia has always been good at lawn bowls but it is not an Aussie sport, even an English one as it originated in ancient Egypt. It has tho been played in England since the 13th century. ...

So the gold medal was hard earned.

Of course. But I was completely serious.

The forum could use a Serious Discussion thread. I have already broached the subject with the boss about a Chat thread. He seems interested, perhaps for the footy off season.

The Aussies dominated the lawn bowls as far as I can make out. Have to wait for end of Games to see if they show all individual sports medal results.

I'm not "the boss" but I still have your message in mind and will definitely do it in the off season. Advice was very much appreciated!

Pretty comprehensive in golds.

The sweetest thing about defending our title and bashing the Pommies with our gold club is we did it on their home soil. Next time they will have to do it on ours.. in Melbourne.
