Fo' sure.I'm watching the Women's gymnastics to see if I can spot @Classic in the arena. Honest.
As one commentator just said, there's some fantastic pieces of apparatus.
Of course, I turned down dressing assistant for those athletes as I totally wanted to be a scorer at table tennis.
Totally.

Just went past strathclyde park were they held the triathlon events and someone's burned down all the huts 
suppose that's what they get for holding an event in Motherwell.
I think john cleland quoted it best

Just watched the Women's diving final - I think they may have to show the highlights after the watershed

Once again, double standards apply in the Australian camp. A high-profile athlete missed a pre-event training camp, for which her coach rightfully criticised her. But because she's a medal hope, it was the coach who got sent home.
It's disgusting. We have no right to call ourselves a sporting nation any more, because winning is the only thing anyone values anymore.

Went out to watch the cycling time trial yesterday, and we found a nice wee rise just outside of Gartcosh.
I didn't have my grown up camera with me so phone pics will have to do...

If you squint your eyes just slightly there's pretty much no difference!

Yep - quite sad it's over... and I feel bad for not getting more enthusiastic about it beforehand - I think most people in the UK were pretty nonplussed by the idea of the Games before kick-off, but it has been an entertaining 11 days.
I thought the closing ceremony was a bit lame though - my sister summed it up by suggesting it was one of those 'you really have to be there' type deals. I did enjoy the mildly sarcastic BBC commentator who said at the end of a previously unheard of Kylie song; "It's from her latest album in case you were wondering".
Am I right in saying that Gold Coast is the new-ish name for Surfer's Paradise? I don't recall a city called Gold Coast when I was there in '95.
