Every second person I talk to is going but that may be because I know lots of people.

Well, Melbourne Comm Games wasn’t bigger that Sydney Olympic Games and they’re saying Gold Coast Comm Games will be bigger than Melbourne.

Mark Ferguson would’ve been the main presenter of National Nine News Sydney at the time of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games, so you’d think he would’ve remembered that…

i’m watching the BBC coverage and they are crossing to a reporter at the stadium but he’s almost being drowned out by a band in the background

Really like the hosts/presenters/commentators outfits.

Graphics are really good, flashy and modern.

Network sponsor billboards look plain, as usual.

Good array of on-air talent.

Good to have the ceremony countdown show with Hamish and Eddy standing outside, but interested to see what the main host studio looks like.
