2014 Commonwealth Games...

[TANGODANCER]

Might as well have a thread about them. What do you say Chris (Hoy).."Do you know what?"

Er, no.....

[Gary the Enfield]

Looking forward to this more than the World Cup if I'm honest.

Kinell. Never realised Ian Thorpe was so Huuugge. Made Daley Thomson look like a midget.

I never realised he was gay. Of all the people...

[Always hopeful]

Watching the opening ceremony. I don't know why, but my overriding thought is that I hope and pray the commonwealth games never get awarded to Liverpool.

So so far we've had Billy Connolly who's not set foot in Glasgow since 1977, Rod Stewart born London, England and Susan Boyle singing the Mull of Kintyre. A song written by that world famous scot Paul McCartney.

Brilliant.

[CrazyHorse]

Oh and John Barrowman.

I just flicked over to see Liz & Phil arrive & then a God awful version of the National Anthem proceeded by a muted booing which was hushed down. Then some kid in a skirt run across a wooden floor like a mugger fleeing a pursuing old lady.

That was all I'll manage I think.

[Gary the Enfield]

Oh and John Barrowman.

Not the first time he's been seen mounted atop a Derrick either I'll warrant.

[thebish]

blimey - you lot will watch any old shoite!!!

[Always hopeful]

Its getting better.

We're now about to be introduced to the atheletes as they wander around the stadium with mouths opened wide, filming the whole event on their phones.

This is my favourite bit of any opening ceremony. Not boring or tedious at all.

[Worthy4England]

Just make sure they pick up the Scottish parts of the bill if they go independent. What? That'd be all of it? Great!

[TANGODANCER]

More pipes and drums needed, much more.... I await the entry of Scotland with great excitement. You think I'm joking, don't you....

[bobo the clown]

I really can't watch to see that shite tartan and the odd blue blouse the men are going to wear. Now that's a car crash in slow motion.

I'm not very well up on movies and their actors and so I didn't realise Jason Stanthan represented England at the Commonwealth Games in 1990. He wasn't very good but better than me.

He looks a little different with hair.

[Hoboh]

What a load of tosh!

Just a thought, will they be booted out the comonwealth if they go independent subject to negotiating re-entry terms?

[thebish]

Oh and John Barrowman.

presumably Rab C Nesbitt was caught in traffic?

[TANGODANCER]

I'm really disappointed. I fully expected that other famous Scotsman, Mel Gibson,to be there, riding a white horse and carrying a huge Scottish flag and that massive broadsword that would be absolutely useless in close combat, to lead a massive parade of pipes and drums all shouting "You can have Andy Murray, but you can't take our freedom!"...

See, that would actually have been good.
