Fascinating to see the warm-ups... the chats between riders & coaches,
the massages...

Thank you, waffly. Also on Internet interactive stream 2. After
struggling for five minutes with the TV which I don't really understand
since I never use it, I've now got it running on the laptop beside me.

And is that Bianchis the Fijians are riding? I admire their style - out
of their class and they know it, but still having fun.

Too late for today, of course. Go to BBC website, front page. Select
'Commonwealth Games'. From that page, Select '>VIDEO Live: track
cycling'

Congratulations, you English, that's a fine haul of medals.

Yeah - it's got better now the commentator has stopped saying things like:
"I tip him to win!" (Queally, silver) or "He's guaranteed a silver!" (Hoy,
Bronze). B'ah.

Congratulations, you English, that's a fine haul of medals.

But the Scots have been doing very well in the pool. 2 swimming golds
so far, which is more than Australia..

I'm just as chuffed about medals won by the Scots, Welsh & Northern Irish as
well as the English :-) Won't say who has what due to 'spoiler' effect, but
results can be viewed at

Not if properly oiled.

However, you do have to deflate the tires to stop them imploding at the
bottom...

I'll get me coat.

We did reasonably in the velodrome; I'm not disappointed. But credit
where it's due.

Indeed. It is very close at the top in the kilo. Kudos to the aussies
for taking it so well. And well done to the IP guys..

It looks very much like it will be a very close fought team sprint.
