2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

[Connoisseur]

Fred Perry 1936 was the last one from England. Last doubles win was the same year before Jonathan Murray won in 2012 with with a player from Denmark.

I knew it was thereabouts, close enough.

The togs have been revealed...

I know fashion should not really matter in sports, but come on man! This is dreadful and I feel like Joan Rivers for having to say so! The games have not started well. No Basketball and it looks like they are wearing Billy Cart.

So the opening ceremony will start at 5:30 am this Thursday.

Anyone planning on watching? or just recording it too watch later?

Wow, I didn't realise it was that soon. I won't be watching - hopefully they'll replay it on the weekend at some stage

Thanks for the heads up @inigo,
Likely will catch it during my usual insomnia breaks - usually awake around 2 or 3am, then 4 or 5am.
Awesome, I usually have to watch crappy morning shows
