Commonwealth Games

I quite like the cycling. There was a funny race in the Olympics I liked. They all race around like nutters then every so many laps whoever is last gets elimininated and they carry on till there is only one left, and they get the gold. Was really good fun I thought. Does anyone know what it's called and if it's been on yet? I hope I haven't missed it.

I also like the one where they all race behind a bloke in a suit on a bike, for some reason. That was good too.

The weightlifting,boxing and rugby are always worth a look.

Women's weightlifting especially, I like to see a good snatch.

I must say I enjoyed the highlights progamme last night. I sat down to watch the highlights of the events I had missed during the day like the triathlon and the cycling. Instead of which I got a combination of the Clare Balding show, the One Show and Jools Holland. The triathlon was condensed into about two minutes of action as yet another 'celebrity' told me what they thought of the event rather than letting me actually watch it. They then like to ask inane questions of the competitors, their partners, their mums and dads, sisters and brothers and pet goldfish. All watched by a very weird live audience just sitting at tables smiling with no drinks or anything in front of them. Message to the BBC - I don't give a flying fcuk about Clare Balding, I just want to see some decent highlights of the bloody sport, not her ugly mug and stupid prattish comments about something she knows even less than me about. And breathe...

Amen to this brother. Year on year it fucks me off immensely with these so called highlights shows. The paralympic highlights on ch4 were the worst I've seen and there wasn't even guests on it, yet they somehow managed to just show me 30 seconds of sport.

My boys are transfixed....it doesn't matter what sport or what ability...if your representing you country....you are the best in 1m 5m or 59 million people....it's a good thing being in Glasgow makes it real and achievable to them.

The judo's skilfull I have to say. Do you actually have to train to trip someone up and lie on top of them whilst your poor opponent is squashed with his or her legs flailing wildly, and very comically, about in air?

Australia are spoiling this.

the rugby 7s has been great today, lots of silly games as expected in the preliminaries but you do see some suprisingly good rugby, papua new guinea just had a good go at wales and 29-7 doesn't really tel lthe story of how well they did.

Uganda vs Sri Lanka was great fun, Sri Lanka 14-0 with 3mins to go, Uganda get a yellow card and it looks all over only for them to score 3 late tries to win, everything you want in a 7s match.

CDBULLY - the bike race you liked was the elimination (or the devil) race. Its part of the 8 event Omnium competition now and I don't know if that's in the Commies.

News from the officials village. The realaction starts tomorrow when the athletics starts. Sadly Mo Farah not running.

Watched the swimming on TV tonight - swimming was 20mins late -which is messing up TV. So pressure on us tomorrow to keep a more complex sport on time.

Never thought I would walk into a bar in Glasgow and get complimented on my ironing- but that was the case this afternoon.  Ironed my formal uniform shirts then went for a pint. Glasgow is not as bad as it is made out to be.

Got to look smart in case I'm leading athletes out tomorrow. 100m heats -so might have to escort DQ'd athletes off track.

Glasgow is a great place. Spent a lot of time up there in the past and never had a sniff of trouble. Might have been different if i'd been wandering around Govan, Castlemilk etc on my own at night mind.

The only action I've watched so far has been the mens, womens and mixed relay triathlons. Have really enjoyed them, especially the relay.

Bring on the athletics.

Rugby 7s is shit.

Kick Pass Pass Pass - fast fucker scores a try

And repeat.

Mind you rugby in any form is shit anyway.
