XXII Commonwealth Games - 28th July to 8th August 2022

[Haydn]

Here's Charles and his old banger...and an Aston Martin.

I wonder if they drove past this Birmingham landmark on their way to the ceremony ?



This is the Big Peg office building in the Jewellery Quarter area of Birmingham. It was constructed by Birmingham City Council in the late 1960s as a flatted factory for displaced jewellers and businesses.

No show without Hazel Irvine. She is actually retired but she's a steady hand for events like this. Not likely to come out with saying bollox or some such.

She beats every one of the women football commentators , no one ever mentioned her looks or size of her chest, the late Helen Rollason was equally as good

Lenny Henry staying at Brums best Premier Inn??

Birmingham had the first public library.

There's no topping that.

Quite an impressive accolade that. Access to books, education, ideas and opportunity for learning for everyone.

She has always managed to avoid the glamour side of things. She was a good golfer in her youth, as was her sidekick tonight Andrew Cotter. He wouldn't know one end of a rugby ball from another though.

Ffs "the Baskerville font was invented here"

That is clutching at straws now.

That's a bit of a stretch I'll grant you ?
