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...

    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
