As you know, Glasgow will be applying to host the Commonwealth Games in
2014.
What you may not know is that many of the famous events which go to make
up this spectacular event, are to be especially altered for 2014 to
boost Glasgow's bid. A copy of these changes has been leaked, and is
reproduced below:







OPENING CEREMONY
The flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of
Castlemilk, in the traditional dress of Burberry baseball cap and a
white shell suit.
The flame will be contained in a large overturned police van situated
on the roof of the stadium.

THE EVENTS
In previous Commonwealth Games, Scotland's competitors have not been
particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the
events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local athletes.

100 METRES SPRINT Competitors will have to hold a DVD player and
microwave oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting
pistol, a police Dog will be released from a cage 10 yards behind the
athletes.

110 METRES HURDLES
As above but with added obstacles ( i.e. car bonnets, hedges, garden
fences, walls etc)

HAMMER
Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to
use (claw, sledge etc) the winner will be the one who can cause the most
physical damage within three attempts.

FENCING
This event shall be sponsored by Cash Converters who shall also provide
the hardware. The contest itself shall be based outside kebab shops in
Baillieston, Riddrie, Drumchapel, and Easterhouse….the winner shall be
the one who can leave A & E first.

SHOOTING
A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The first
target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors
will aim at a post office clerk, bank teller or Securicor-style wages
delivery man.
The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event by a choice
of either a Browning automatic handgun or Sawn-off 12-bore shotgun.

BOXING
Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife teams and
will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints
of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he
gets home. The bout will then commence.

CYCLING TIME TRIALS
Competitors will be asked to break into the Glasgow University bike hed
and takes an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy on his
first trip away from home. All against the clock.

CYCLING PURSUIT
As above, but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the
Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft.

MODERN PENTATHLON
Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joyriding,
underage drinking and arson.

SWIMMING EVENTS
All waterways are currently being tested for toxicity levels, once one
is found that can support human life, swimming events will be
organised, please note that the Synchronised Swimming event for this
year will comprise of dropping acid and watching all the funky ripples
on the pool, the specific musical support to this event will be provided
by ‘Belle & Sebastian’.

THE MARATHON
A safe route has yet to be decided.

MEN'S 50KM WALK
Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled, as the police cannot
guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of Glasgow,
especially anyone that appears to be mincing…

THE CLOSING CEREMONY
Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of the
Govan Health in the Community, anti-drug campaigners, synchronised rock
throwing, and music by the Dennistoun community choir. The flame will
be extinguished by police riot water cannon following inevitable pitch
invasion by confused old firm fans. The stadium itself will then be
boarded up before the local athletes break into it and remove all the
copper piping and the central heating boiler.
