The Naitch Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 All gets started tonight with the opening ceremony. The next 12 days or so should be fun. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/62222629 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Denny Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Looking forward to hearing 'That's a new personal best !' as they finish 6th in a qualifying heat. Will give the cycling a look..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I enjoy the Rugby 7s. Was there in Glasgow and it was superb. Really enjoying that they are focusing on Birmingham rather than Britishness or similar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoying that they are focusing on Birmingham rather than Britishness or similar I missed out on the Rugby 7s that year but got tickets for a lot of other events. Loved every minute of it. They do seem to be really making this all about Birmingham, hope that vibe continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Some lassie sings God Save the Queen while cars form the shape of the Union Jack? I though England was the host nation, not the former UK? I know the BBC can't tell the difference, but surely the Games organisers do? Or are we just being reminded of our place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unusual to see the second verse of GSTQ performed. I've literally only seen that once before at the proms (where three verses were sung) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 That confused me. I'm assuming that was designed by a Scot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Apart from the jarring union jack stuff at the start the rest of the opening ceremony has been fine. Enjoying the bizarre carnivale nonsense on right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It's not really that good but I'm quite enjoying it nonetheless. Just think of the apoplexy it will be causing Heil readers, and indeed writers. I like the local aspect of it too. And I'm agog as to what Duran Duran will be like! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
