No Commonwealth Games thread?

I know this will be meaningless to a lot of members here but the Commonwealth Games started yesterday.

The Commonwealth Games, for those who don't know, brings together all the nations of the British Commonwealth (Pretty much all the countries of the old Empire except the US) for 11 days of track and field events. Seen by some as a poor man's Olympics, I personally love the commonwealth games as it gives a chance for some lesser known athletes from some lesser known countries to compete on an international stage.

Also, there's a lot of old rivalries in the Commonwealth.

The rugby sevens is on at the moment, 14-7 to England against Australia. I imagine all the Aussie members here already know the result, living in the future as they do.

So far, the Scottish swimmers have done unexpectedly well, everyone expects the Aussies to dominate the swimming events.

Hang on, 14-12. Good game.

The opening ceremony was pretty cool I thought, the fireworks were certainly spectacular.

So is anyone else watching the games or is it just me?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What the fuck?

When England win a gold medal they play Land of Hope and Glory, not God Save the Queen. I know England, Scotland and Wales all compete separatly and they have their own national anthems but the English national anthem and the British one are the same thing. If I was an English athlete I'd possibly be a little upset they weren't playing the anthem.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
