I'm also looking forward to the reception our next door neighbours give us when it's our turn to enter the stadium.

I had no idea that Lesotho was in the Commonwealth. Or Malawi. Wow.

The athletes should be banned from filming themselves on their phones and iPads.

Interesting, but very shocking, info-graphic doing the rounds on Facebook and Twitter. I knew it was probably quite a lot, but I'm amazed it's as high as it is.

I think that might be part of the reason they got Barrowman to kiss a bloke in the early stages of the Opening Ceremony. Fair play.

I think Huw Edwards mentioned that it's the biggest big screen in Europe. I bet they didn't get it from Argos.

I'd expect Barrowman didn't take much convincing.

I think that may be a legacy left over from when we ruled the waves.
