:-) :-) :-)

im bard from watching the games with daughter

was watching the judo and can you believe i was cheering for the wrong side
daughter throw a cushion at me :-( :-( :-( :-(

and called me a stupid idiot :-( :-( :-( :-(

was not my thought the women had different color suit than the men
thought they would of had the same color or was they the same cant remember but all i no was that i got a little confuse

o well silly me :-D :-D :-D

It seems that everyone loved the Scottie Dogs !
Listening to a phone-in show on local radio yesterday, I was really quite shocked that so many people were upset at the Gay Wedding Kiss.
I never gave it a second thought, but now the "Glasgow Kiss" has a new meaning.

OH and daughter have gone to watch the squash tournament this evening at Scotstoun and tomorrow it's hockey at Glasgow Green.

Thats a shame for your son...

Are you recording the games for him....?

I must admit the Triathlon was brilliant....

daughter is watching it son up set as he is on nites and missing it

1 Gold and 1 Silver for my Brownlee brothers.....YEAH... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I just watched the parade, fascinating seeing all the countries in the Commonwealth, sort of jogging your memory!! Loved the 40 scottie dogs.

We enjoyed it and especially the wee Scottie dogs :-D

I saw Wullie for about two seconds, sitting on his bucket...... in the same dancing sequence as the big haggis (I think :-S ).

I must try to get a Tunnoch's teacake for my DH (Darling Husband!)

I had never heard of Amy Mcdonald but thought her music was brilliant. Especially liked the bit where she started the singing in the street then all those locals did a turn.

Enjoyed watching John Barrowman too. And the ballet.

When did Oor Wullie appear? I might wind back to that on the recording . . .

I must admit I only watched a bit of the ceremony.

The only sport Iwill be watching is the Triathlon tis morning mainly for the Brownlee brothers.

I am hoping that the will show some of the archery and floor display for the gymnastics.

IGP I must so agree with you about the interuption of the normal programmes.

The BBC have enough other channels(bbc 3,bbc2) to show the Games on so why didn't they plan the programmes better.?

Update,,,,All this mornings programmes from BBC1 have been pushed on to BBC2,, :-S

Good luck to those who look forward to watching the games, but I shall be giving it a miss, being one of those many who has little interest.

Just a pity that mainstream TV programs will once again be interrupted and the majority viewer inconvenienced.

I watched a lot of it, including when the Prince couldn't get the top off the baton to hand the Queen the message lol

I thought it was well done overall, and good that there was a minute's silence for those lost in the Malaysian plane crash.

I might watch some of the coverage during the next couple of weeks but not really into sports that much.

A very short nap!

I was woken up by the 'phone (someone looking for Himself, who is out!)....... drifted off again, and somebody came to the door! By the time I got my eyes unstuck & staggered downstairs, whoever it was had gone.

It's nearly noon, so I might as well stay up, or my sleep pattern will be totally messed up.

Meanwhile....... Archie Clegg (one of the lovely dogs at the ceremony)......... has his own Twitter page!

:-D

Loved every minute of the opening ceremony :-D

Let the friendly games begin.

Nearly forgot to say.......... sorry folks, but the Scottish men looked like they were ready for bed... wearing pyjama jackets.

:-(

The Aussie jacket looked like a weird school blazer.

John Barrowman and Karen Dunbar???
I kept thinking.....The Singing Kettle !!

I figured it out. But it took me a while to find the right channel. Broadcast on Ch 10, but because I don't live in a city, I had to look through about 30 channels to find the right one... very frustrating! The name of a town about 30km away, and the No 1.

I enjoyed the opening ceremony.

My OH got up to see some of it, which made it funny, because he recognised some Scottish things (like the haggis, and Oor Wullie), but he had no idea what Tunnoch's Tea Cakes were...... he said "what are the jellyfish doing there?" rofl :-D

Very proud of cousin Chris, helping to get the Queen's message :-)

The worst part was listening to the Aussie commentators..... mis-pronouncing lots of things (eg "Lock Lawmawnd")........... and the very bad comment "The Celtic-Rangers Stadium".

It's 8.50am here........ I'm going for a nap.

:-D

Dratt missed that bit! :-( :-(

One of the shooters taking the oath Bob
:-D :-D :-D
