I didn't see the opening ceremony, doesn't sound like I missed much anyway, but the events that I have tuned into have all been exciting. Can't believe no one on here is talking about them, is no one watching the games? I even found the Lawn Bowls a buzz! Well done to Glasgow and to all those competing.

I like the way they're mixing in para events with the regular ones, rather than splitting it out into separate competitions.


I also like the way there are events in there which aren't in the olympics, yet are relevant to the commonwealth and Britain. e.g. rugby and bowls. Makes me wonder what else they could include. Snooker? Cricket? Darts?

Squash was amazing. Women and men. 5 games in the men's, 1 hour 40 mins. That's hard graft on what looks like a small court. You won't see tennis pros sweating like that...

When will this sports hell ever end (shrieks)?


I almost died of boredom during the damn Olympics, then we had the Paralympics yawn fest, next we had the World Cup snoozeathon and now The Commonwealth Games from hell - my eyes are bleeding?


Give me strength (shakes fist at sky)...

I have only been able to keep down dry toast since the Tour de Newcastle.


Why would grown men dress like that?


Bradley Wiggins should be arrested, or hospitalised. He is clearly in possession of a massive herniation, or a growth, or he has trapped a young cockapoo down the front of his Lycra... My eyes are still bleeding.


What has happened to terrestrial TV? I would love a little Ray Winstone, a smattering of Sean Bean. These occasional news bulletins with Huw Edwards, they are simply not enough. I am already bored by the stock of Jigsaw in the village, there are far too many eateries dans the village. What is a girl to do in Dulwich?


You are so right Louisa, I would NEVER walk my own damn dogs. I see it as my duty to keep this economy moving and provide employment for others whenever possible. I don't even do my own shop on Ocado sweetie!

For sport, we should have stocks constructed on Goose Green along with various other contraptions for dishing out random punishments around Dulwich. Sir Bradley (don't remind me Muley, it is mortifying that this clown has a title) would be first on my list for the rotten tomatoes, straight after he has a thorough dunking on the ducking stool.


Intimate waxing and cycling shorts with a built in bum cushion? Give me strength. What happened to good old bicycle clips - that is all the kit he should need. He should wear a normal shaped helmet, great billowing shorts and cycle a conventional bicycle.


Talk about The Emperor's New Clothes! He is a cyclist for Gods sake, you would imagine from his toggs that he was about to pilot a space rocket. From the way that man dresses to cycle a bike, God only knows how he would adorn himself to drive a damn bus (laughs socks off).

Indeed DM! http://metro.co.uk/2014/06/16/pictures-world-naked-bike-ride-2014-london-4763325/


I imagine you would look very fetching in nothing but your Emma Hope mules and a smile. And perhaps a basket too, for that quintessential Miss Marple look when gaddying about Le Village...

    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
    • Did you have the same covid jab as you have had over the years?
