What's this? What happened? I must have missed it!

I was reading a book last night, so it seems I have missed out? Maybe not?

No comment from me sorry.

i didnt watch the close after i watched the open. they got carried away with crap rather than the event and the competitors. so my guess was the clsoe would be crap also...

i think this opening and closing crap is becoming over rated, and probably soon will be commercial.

desides how can the same dudes, go from country to country and try to out do them selves?

I didn't watch any of it. I did the whole Olympic thing in Sydney 2000, and that was awesome. For me the Commonwealth Games don't even come close. :P

Hi

I want a copy of the opening & closing on DVD, for those nights when I just cant get to sleep. I thought the games were held in Australia. Farnsee was great though.

I thought it was pretty spectacular, but rather rude of Barry Humphris not to turn up in person. And I agree the Indians display took the cake by far.

Watched bits only and when I saw the Indians thought WTF so changed stations.

Some of it (the games ) was good

Just when Norfolk Island turns up as a competitor........... welll...................... you are sort of scaping for contestants then


HGFS - March 27th, 2006 at 05:55 PM

Couldn't believe in an international event like that, with all sorts of "good" sports being played, that they would use it as an opportunity to showcase our irrelevant backyard footy game that isn't played anywhere but here.
If you hadn't guessed I dont like footy...Let the flames begin

Grinners were good though

John"this is my final performance"Farnham.....................

Where the bloody hell are we?

What commonwealth games?

I'm so over Australia's obsession with sport. Why don't we get obsessed about something that really matters, like people and culture. I stopped listening when the whole country sooked coz some swimmer got the flu. :o

But hey that's just me :)


squizy - March 28th, 2006 at 08:52 AM

Smashing the rest of the Commonwealth isn't something to gloat about yet we seem so obsessed with doing it. A little embarassing actually.

Maybe they should have set the harbour bridge on fire with fireworks like they do for every other bloody thing that happens.
the commentaters were all sydneyites and the couple of time I tuned in the were still making sarcastic remarks bout Melbourne weather. All pretty banal and unimaginative IMHO


koolkarmakombi - March 28th, 2006 at 12:18 PM

maybe drama pitman can be a bollywood star


fekkinell - March 28th, 2006 at 02:58 PM

Yawn... zzzzzz...... zzzz.... oh sorry.... the games put me to sleep :)
