I believe that the organisers have missed a trick but not stopping the music for the second verse of the National Anthem and just let the crowd sing as they do at Murrayfield.

I used to play squash in the North West Middx league table and was thrilled to watch some fabulous games on here. Not often shown on TV, but fascinating.

Judo Player is what a person 'taking part' in the martial art of Judo is called, or more formally a Judoka.   ;)  I was never good enough to represent GB unfortunately, plus several injuries curtailed my further involvement.    :-[

Love the New Zealand rugby 7's reaction to defeat - sporting but second is last

Was up at 6am today and on our way by 6.50am to get to see the lawn bowls at Kelvingrove, beside the art gallery. What a backdrop! Loved nthe whole day apart from paying £16 for 2 burger rolls and 2 very small black coffees! Rip off catering :(
