Your views so far ?

I have been hugely impressed by the sportsmanship shown and by the Scottish people's appreciation of all winners

Haven't watched it. Not watching it. Will not be watching it.

Glasgow is absolutely buzzing. I've never seen it so busy, so many nationalities, all appearing to be embrasing the city. Every open top tourist bus is full, upstairs and downstairs. I'm off to see the lawn bowls tomorrow and have to leave by 6.30 am to get there and through security checks for the start of the games at 8.45am.  :)

Thoroughly enjoying the swimming, cycling and judo so far.  The crowds are just brilliant.

Yes the crowds are making it, as is the strong push by the home nations. I can't believe how much of it I am watching. Just one disagreement with you Eric, I don't enjoy the Judo, I have absolutely no idea what is going on - to the extent that the commentators are screaming "he's done it! he's done it!" - and till one stands up celebrating I have no clue which one has done it!!!
