Commonwealth Games anyone?

Just watched England getting their first gold. Alex Yee in the men's triathlon.

I'll probably watch a fair bit of the games I think.

Will definitely be watching as much as I can over the weekend.

Went up to Glasgow in 2014 and had a great time when they hosted the Commonwealths, but couldn't wangle any time off this year for Birmingham unfortunately despite it being closer to me, so it's going to have to be sat in front of the TV.

The city has put on lots of side-events. One of them is a pop-up park with a copy of the King Kong statue that was situated in various locations around Birmingham in the 1970s.

I've just been over there. The new statue is all black. The original had bright red lips and nails, it looked like a bad drag act.

I have tickets to a lot of events, going pretty much every day next week. I love live sports and spent a fortune in 2012 for the Olympics. This time the kids are old enough to be dragged along, but not too old for a cheap child's ticket.

How do I enter the cycling?

Get yourself to be a faster cyclist in some event than anybody currently being picked for a nation you have the option of competing for

Practice.

Practice entering?

Practice, then they might let you enter. You'll have more chance if you're trans gender of course.

Quite uncanny how the New Zealand chap got a ten second penalty.

Been practicing over 50 years, where do I enter?
