Back to normal?

Commonwealth Games - I have to say that I was somewhat underwhelmed - don't know whether the fault was with the Games themselves, or BBC's coverage, but I found it difficult to work up any enthusiasm - even for the athletics, which usually has me hooked.  Nice to see England top the medals table, but perhaps that says it all - the Commonwealth Games are sort of the international equivalent of the egg and spoon race at the school sports - a chance for "the others" to have their moment of glory.  And for me there was far too much show-boating and triumphalism - whatever happened to the old-fashioned idea that you won with grace and lost with dignity?  I regret having to say it, but I'm glad it's over.
