The Commonwealth Games have just began in Glasgow, its great its like the Olympics only with Britain and all of its current/former colonies and its a real tribute to the massive global superiority we once had. Susan Boyle sang Mul of Kintyre at the opening ceremony and there was a tribute to gay marriage as well as dancing cans of Irn Bru and a Loch Ness monster made out of tyres. Mo Farrah had to pull out due to injury though which was a bit of a shocker.

Its for anyone that was once or is still a part of our glorious empire everyone from Canada to Jamaica to Australia to Bangladesh. Basically all the cool kids. At the opening ceremony each team was led out by a scottie dog with the flag on its coat which was adorable.

No I'm sorry the tossing of one's caber is only in things like the Highland Games, its more for real sports such as lawn bowls, rhythmic gymnastics and water polo.

Interesting. Perhaps if said nations had not got so rambunctious and remained a part of our empire they would be a little bit more affluent today? Makes you think!
