Commonwealth Games - Monkey business

Just when the poor folks attending the Commonwealth Games thought that things couldn't get much worse, Prince Charles turns up. No doubt he'll be asking ridiculous questions and even worse he'll be pointing at things. I've noticed that a lot of photographs of him and his even more useless brothers show them pointing, usually at some obvious structure that most people would just accept, like a shelf or a table.






So hurray for the unsung heroes of the games. The Haruman Langur monkeys, brought in to police the various stadia. I note that hockey is particularly targeted.

Delhi, one of the most crowded cities in the world has a problem with smaller monkeys. They go where they want, unhindered. They steal, they defecate and they urinate where they please. Think of them like smaller versions of chavs at a foreign holiday destination.

They are considered holy by some and they can give a very nasty bite.
