Birmingham is a big sprawling mess, Manchester is compact and welcoming.Manchester is deffo the real second city.
We should spare a thought for those less fortunate than ourselves.Watching the mens para cycling, theyre on tandems as the person is visually impaired but it seems the pilot is the one doing all the work and isnt even named. The welsh guys pilot had legs like tree trunks and he was weedy fella getting a backy.
Apologies to proper Sabbath fans, wasn't Geezer Butler, it was Tony Iommi wasn't it!Best bit of the ceremony that, he's not far off the mark (he did say 'government' not British people).
Not really in to the 'performance art' stuff really. Not a massive Black Sabbath fan, though the ballet 'mash up' was interesting(only really liked their stuff with Dio...sorry Ozzy!!) Geezer can certainly play that axe though Lenny Kravitz still looks as cool as fuck too when he said his bit.
Why did they not get The Goat to do the same for Bermuda??
On another City theme, it was interesting seeing the Commonwealth games stadium/COMS from 2002. I remember at the time thinking how strange it will be playing our home games there.
Bad crash in the track cycling with the rider and bike landing in the crowd. Hope all make a speedy recovery.
Just seen a clip and that is horrendous. Kids caught up in it on the front row tooBad crash in the track cycling with the rider and bike landing in the crowd. Hope all make a speedy recovery.

Have to say, after many years of not going, I've been to Birmingham three times in the past 18 months and have been impressed, I like the city. There's been much change, like Manchester, and some of its been done quite well.Birmingham is a big sprawling mess, Manchester is compact and welcoming.
Careful. They are finely honed athletes. Even that great big English bloke in the Triples team. Wish darts was in the Commonwealth GamesAt last, a televised Commonwealth Games sport that us fat blokes can participate in. Bowls!
