Game On!

Edition 309
Drugs, pollution, politics and protests: Nicholas Yallop looks at the controversy surrounding Beijing and The Games.
Also in this issue:
‘Bad Sports’: Jake Avila ponders Saturday sport and why behind every over-competitive youngster is an ugly parent (usually yelling); and Gaynor Flynn talks to versatile actor Jim Broadbent about playing a ringmaster, a befuddled magic teacher and now a selfish Yorkshire doctor.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ for this edition is Tony from Adelaide. We also have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from John E from Brisbane, Jacqueline from Sydney, John H from SA and Melbourne’s Emma and Disco Dave, as well as an image from the recent Street Soccer National Championships in Melbourne.
Watch editor Alan Attwood introduce this edition at the vendor’s BBQ lunch.
