    As much as certain people like to keep trying to compare the 2. This ain’t the Olympics.

    Yes, for one thing we didn’t ask the rest of the UK to pay for it 😉

    Those tents are the wrong brand. Don’t they know there’s no trespass in Scotland?

    It was entirely funded by the Scots? 😉

    Have to say, we had a great couple of days up there, saw athletics and gymnastics, Glasgow was amazing, very much like London during the Olympics.

    80% from Glasgow CC, 20% from the Scottish government I think.

    Stepping neatly away from the “who pays” argument may I just say that opening and closing ceremonies are a waste of time and money and should be banned

    They are in my house anyway…

    It needs to get a move on.
    Life expectancy in Glasgow is not this long.

    This Gold Coast thing is possibly the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen. We’ve had to turn it off.

    Glad I am not the only one thinking this is a load of old tosh.

    how much were the closing “party” tickets? Anymore than £5 and I think some people may feel cheated!

    Seems remarkably flat on TV

    How often has Kylie performed to a dead audience?

    Boots cover a pretty uninspiring performance

    If the theme to Kylie’s performance is a night out in Glasgow, she’s been on different ones to me. Nobody’s been sick, and a mass brawl hasn’t erupted outside a kebab house 😯

    I slept with Susan Boyle once. True story.

    She was in the seat next to me on a flight back from LA. She snored a bit.

    Even Deacon Blue were cringe worthy, did Simple Minds or The Proclaimers turn up?

    What was so wrong with it? I caught a few minutes here and there, and Kylie was rocking it! (: Didn’t see much though?

    Aye.

    The Qld Gold Coast is brash and crass, so their performance was bang on.

    Kylie, ah well… 🙂

    Well it was poor. Not as poor as the London closing ceremony.

    To be honest of the opening and closing ceremonies, London opening was fun, and Glasgow opening wasn’t too bad. Both closings have been poor.
