    News Flash - Commonwealth Games has finished

    Did anyone notice it was on in the first place ?

    A strange lack of the blanket in your face coverage minority events such as this and Wimbledon normally attract.

    I guess Delhi is not really the kind of place the BBC would send 2 Club Class 747 loads of expense account troughers to

    ... at least in 2014, such expense should be spared, since they're taking place in Glasgow!

    Well I still enjoyed it (mostly).
    I particularly enjoyed the boxing weigh-in ( when the scales were 5kg over)
    Also I enjoyed the diving (especially when the boards were over standard height)
    I enjoyed the replacing of the field turf.
    And the refurbishment of the track surface
    Oh and it was very enjoyable when the large timer screen fell down
    Just a shame most of the seats were empty
    Ah and don't forget the large percentage of Delhi Belly (especially in the pool... which was tested as clear - but not to any recognised standard)

    The highlight was to see the ladies Indian relay team winning gold
    No really. More power to them. They are all celebs now.

    I like all sports, so I enjoyed it

    Anyway better than watching England football.
    Or Liverpool

    Whoops, sorry Keith

    Hah true, funny you should mention that - no i didn't notice it at all. The only time i heard about it was a few weeks before when there was all that commotion about the structural problems and the facilities not being up to snuff. What a waste of time it seems.
