conpiracymonki Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 [b][size=1]It's like a mini-Olympics, which takes place every four years, but with only the countries from the Commonwealth of the British Empire taking part. It's being hosted by Manchester, and just started about 1 hour ago[/size][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 [color=royalblue]72 countries and territories...it's probably the second biggest sporting event aside from the Olympics itself (in terms of the number of participants). They will be replaying the opening ceremony here tonight...so I'll definitely watch it. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
