Commonwealth Games

[snorri]

The only one I know so far is the wonderful Nicola Bennedetti,.

Suddenly the Commonwealth Games organisers have caught my attention

I keep seeing snippets of information that is getting me interested, this morning or on the news they showed the ? Sri Lanka cycle team with a map trying to ride around Glasgow, and on twitter they had another team on the M74!

It was the Sri Lankans on the M74. Probably just trying to find a road without potholes...

I'm really looking forward to it, especially the judo.

It does strike me as the "International Friendly" of games tournaments though, you know, the one where a lot of the big players pull out at the last minute with a "hamstring injury".

My wife's just let on that she took part in the baton relay in 86, she ran half a mile with it but in those days nobody took any notice.

Well I loved the opening ceremony, it wasn't very ceremonial and it didn't open very well but I loved it. Just a warm and friendly welcome. Bet Tunnocks and AG Barr were enjoying it too.

I saw 1 minute and would like to apologise for it...

Not good enough to compete against the best? Don't worry, here's a competition where you'll all get a chance, we've sorted it, we don't let all the good ones in..Why? Well, because they were the strong ones who wouldn't let us in to rule them you see...or kicked us out. Yah boo US and Russia! Up yours China!

I think there may be an Olympic or world champion or two competing.

Say what you want about the Queen, she can read from a bit of paper

Think you should have the vote first, before you say what you want about the Queen...

She'd still be the Queen, and still be able to read from a bit of paper

 

[Crackle]

I got as far as watching her arrive before I remembered an urgent programme I needed to watch. In fairness I've not watched many/any Commonwealth opening ceremonies before.

I didnt see John Barrowman reading from a bit of paper

Wasn't a fan at all of the opening ceremony. Seemed like someone had watched the London one and had a shot using kids, tinfoil and sellotape.

John Barrowman's dodgy accent can get tae, as can Rod Stewart. And whoever decided that slowed down version of 500 Miles was a good idea wants shooting.

Karen Dunbar was awright, though she did have her 'I smell sh!te' expression on for most of the time.

I'd have gone for Irvine Welsh, John Niven, Frankie Boyle, Limmy and Kevin Bridges having a chat over that pish.
