Care factor for me - zero :sleep
Anyone going to the Games?
I have absolutely no interest at this stage. When you don't have the world's best from all countries, this comp seems a bit obsolete to me. No-one i know is going or even talking about it - might be a bit of a fizzer for the state.
Watching the bowls will be exciting :ROTFL
-
I'm more keen on the footy starting ;). If I didn't hear it on 3aw I probably wouldn't even know the Comm games was starting in a couple of weeks time.
Lost interest in it once we started dominating over the past decade or so. I don't mind Advance Australia Fair as our anthem but not every 5 minutes lol. Good luck to the athletes as it would be a big deal if you were competing but like you Moi no one I know is going or even talking about it.

Are they on soon ??? :sleep :sleep :help ;D

Maybe that's why the Winter Olympics are so "refreshing"
Og and BTW....
Ailisa Camplin - absolute CHAMPION :thumbsup

Commonwealth Games are already a fiasco. They have to move Australian athletes out of the Village coz they dont have enough houses and rooms to house them all. and here we were taking the pee out of the Greeks over the Athens Olympics. Commonwealth Games organisation= Farce!
-
Apparently each AFL club captain (that's our Sugar) on the fish will be passing the baton across the yarra and then onto Ron Barrassi.
-
Dunno if Ronnie deserves that honour but good luck to him.
Football is Melbourne and pretty appropriate IMO, but i wonder why he gets the honour.
Been watching him every morning training to get fit - wonder if he knew long back. Anyway, he's lost a fair amount of weight in that time and a credit to him - he's almost anal about getting out there every morning it seems. He's got one strange training habit i've noticed - he walks along the bluestone wall these days, when there's a perfectly good path next to him lol. Strange man.
Anyway, a bit of controversy here and don't hit me okay lol. But i reckon Lou Richards should have been given the honour. If Jack were alive, i would have said he deserved it. But like Jack, Lou has been in footy for about seven decades - pretty amazing i reckon, and would have been a good choice. But I don't particularly care - hope it's a good night for him.
-
And Delta will be featuring prominantly apparently - another reason not to watch lol
-
I'm looking forward to seeing Jane Saville run into the stadium with the flag ;D
-
ZERO care factor !
-
Just seen Wales walk out in the area, i tell you what they have some very good looking members of the team :thumbsup
They are currently my second team ;D
-
Im just waiting for rove to carry the flame into the arena and the nightmare will be complete.
I like that Leila chick from the 9 morning news.
I believe she would be a dirty,dirty girl :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :cheers

A mixture of good stuff with the oh dear lol.
Positives:
* The Church and Cat Empire.
* Aboriginal bit.
* Athletes entrance
* The stuff on the yarra - fireworks, fish and all the footballers looking worried about falling into the yarra.
* Delta and the rings of fire lol.
Negatives:
* Ch 9 getting mostly Sydney celebs to host the coverage of Melbourne's games ???
* First half an hour sent me to sleep. Like being at a school concert :shh. At my place we must be the only Melbournians who has never heard of this boy and his duck story/poem ???.
* Why since the Sydney Olympics does every opening ceremony now have some kid flying through the air ???.
* If you're gonna have people flying through the air you might make an effort to hide the cables from view :rollin.
* That kid's spiel for the Queen - "all of us see you as the glue that binds the Commonwealth ...". Okay I'm biased as I believe any monarchy is a load of garbage but for heaven's sake turn it up :chuck.
-
There was a pic in yesterday's Gold Coast Bulletin of distance runner Sonia O'Sullivan, who's Irish but will be competing for Australia, wearing a Richmond guernsey.
I've never heard of the boy and duck either. Thought Delta was going to catch on fire. She looked fabulous though.

You were able to find some good stuff?
I thought it was terrible

Eddie as a Melbournian should have known better - Tony Jones, Gary Lyon anyone had to be better than Raaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy
* First half an hour sent me to sleep. Like being at a school concert :shh. At my place we must be the only Melbournians who has never heard of this boy and his duck story/poem ???.
The duck sucked. Actually I was hoping the live duck would bite the kid just to give us some excitement
* Why since the Sydney Olympics does every opening ceremony now have some kid flying through the air ???.
How many members of the Webster family can there be left :scream :help ;D - at least he didn't sing
* That kid's spiel for the Queen - "all of us see you as the glue that binds the Commonwealth ...". Okay I'm biased as I believe any monarchy is a load of garbage but for heaven's sake turn it up :chuck.
I don't mind Queen Bessy - she certainly didn't seem to upset that we didn't sing "God Save the Queen" - maybe some of our pollies could take some lesson from her on that one ;D ...............and I actually thought Dame Kiri was the highlight...
Had to laugh when the Kiwi's entered the areana and Johnnie H started clapping - startled the Queen it seems perhaps he woke her up because she was probably as bored as the rest of us
-

A child of the 80s so the Church was a highlight.

I've heard eyewitness reports from parties that she is quite the dirty one, although this was before she was a married woman.

Ran the Lake today and when i got to the old Carousel/Robs Restraunt,i wasnt allowed to run around the front along the water.
About 30 coppers,Pirahna task force boys and and uniformed standing the door.
I was thinking WTF is going on here?
I think Condaleeza Rice was in there.
Should of called her a murderer but i would have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism.
LMAOO@The Lake and it's political agenda

Watched the games tonight on tv for the 100m sprint but stayed on for the 5000m. Sheesh 5 km in under 13 minutes :gobdrop.
Even when I was fit aeons ago lol I'd be lucky to do a lap around Princes Park (about 3 km or just over) in that time and would be dead on the ground afterwards :P. The Kenyan guy who won was jumping up and down and running around like it was nothing afterwards :help.

Way to go Browny with the ballerinas :rollin.

-
Now back to our grumpy old selves :lol

Was thinking the same thing Moi. The AFL won't say no to something like this.
-
Closing ceremony a lot better than the opening ceremony. Did you see John Farnham muck up the words for "Your the Voice" :shh Right in the middle of watching it, a mouse popped up on top of the curtains in our house :scream :help So much for having 2 cats in the house :banghead
-
Yeah, he repeated the opening line twice - he got away with it i think
-
I got right into the games.
I enjoy watching hard working athletes enjoy the benefits of their labour
The discipline most of them have is rare.
As for the other garbage,I tend to not look for it.
