I've heard that as well (I did say "they" not me, lol!). I loved her bit in the opening ceremonies for the Olympics - her little grin after she appeared in the stadium was much like the one in the photobomb

New Zealand was the coldest place in the commonwealth during the opening ceremony. 13 degrees. I love the little dogs.

Hanging my head in shame- I missed our lot, but will be sure to look out for them now. In the past we have had some shockers, I usually try to avoid looking too closely. BTW, how did you know about our red wine habit... dang this message board LOL - not telling!! Though it might be that the SA's we know always admit to having a bottle of SA red wine on hand.....well, at least one!!......when watching things like that so thought there may be a good chance you do too. OK, ladies- apologies for being late to the party. We had a bit of time last evening so we caught up on the Opening Ceremony. We loved it! Well done to all the British Refupeas. Glasgow in particular can be proud- the ceremony had real heart and warmth. The Scotties will always be a fond memory. I loved the tartan road, was not sure about the multi-coloured uniforms of the volunteers until I saw them (aerial shot) coalesce into the same tartan pattern as the road. Stunning. Was the less-than popular kit of the host team intended to be the same colours- a new, purposely created tartan maybe? I had a little moment over the Madiba shirts and Billy Connolly's bit. Not what I would have expected from him at all. BarbaraUK- Mount Sutherland Syrah .

Didn't mention the Madiba shirts etc., before because I thought you might like the surprise! All credit goes to Scotland for the organising and staging of the Opening Ceremony and Games - the rest of the UK has just sat back and enjoyed it this time. I know that people in Glasgow have been working long and hard on this for a long time. The Opening Ceremony really did have heart and warmth as you say - absolutely perfect for the 'Friendly Games'! Mount Sutherland Syrah!! Good companion for watching the Opening Ceremony with!!

We really enjoyed the opening ceremony after initially cringing about the comedian/actress Karen Dunbar leading the singing! I think the way it was a humorous look at all the quirks of Scotland made it warm and friendly. Glasgow is an amazing place to be at the moment.
