The 'impartial' BBC being London centric? Never!
I know it's the BBC covering the Commonwealth Games but I thought it was the host country that presented. Given the present crop of presenters a visitor would think the presentation was from London not Glasgow.

London 2012, the sequel........
Seems to be wall to wall Scottish presenters on Radio Scotland for the games. What are you complaining about?
I know, it's disgusting.
It was the same in 2010, the BBC using their British sports team to present the games when they were India.................... and last month at the world cup, not a single game brodcast with Brazilian commentators.
Who do the BBC think they are!

Your going to be stuffed if we ever host the Olympics in the Peoples Republic of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles.....

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Theres a video doing the rounds on my facebook of a presenter talking about "two English swimmers"... one was welsh one Scottish they are all getting their nickers in a twist over it I happen to agree with Mr Bolt its not completely awful just "A bit S***
Its not the first time Clare Balding has dropped a clanger or two, I thought it was very funny though.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
Great to hear Scottish boxer Charlie Flynn replying to the BBC commentator regarding his feelings on finding out he was the Gold medallist and Commonwealth Champion:-
"How did a' feel? A' thowt a' waz gonnae drap deid man"
Marvellous!
I thought he was fab too Scorrie. I have thoroughly enjoyed the games. As have we all, 6 year old now wants to be a diver, the four year old wants to do "those swingy bar things mummy" and my elderly parents who are staying with us on holiday have stayed awake til 10 O clock EVERY night! It must have been good.
