I'll take 12 days, who's holding the book?

It's still going, so low as well! Hope it's not a sign of the weeks to come, very annoying!

will probably be until the games finish.

Starting from tonight there will be two helicopters for security hovering over the area until the games are finished. Tonight was the dress rehearsal of the opening ceremony on Wednesday at Parkhead.

Well that was fun....not. I'm all for security but that just got ridiculous! So tired this morning. At times it felt like it was just above my flat. It probably was!!!

Anyone attacking the East End would leave it in a better state than they found it.

Supremely irritating! hours and hours of helicopter droning when its too warm to close the windows to block out the sound - then fireworks to top it all off!When there is a concert on GCC are quick enough to shut it down by curfew for fear of disturbing people but when its the Games it seems all rules go out the window!

Doll and The Mentalist, EXACTLY!
I'm sure there is going to be plenty of complaints about this. Really unhappy if this is going to be every night.

Guys, Just think of what Glasgow has gained from hosting the games for example new and improved sporting facilities. Â It's only for a couple of weeks, can't you just grin and bare it! :-)

Thanks Games Enthusiast, I'll grin and bear it from the bus stop as I wait for buses that never turn up as they ferry tourists all over the place, or will grin as when the games are over, services will be cut to the bone to pay for this. Â Aye, very good.

They've gained some grumpy residents. Of course this is all tongue in cheek!

I'm on the Parade and have yet to see or hear
 any of these phantom helicopters !!  Are you people on something???
#15 - anon_l replied on the 28/07/2014 11:25:07 PM
That's a bit offensive Biker. I've been away since Thursday but on Monday and Wednesday there was a helicopter out for hours. Not sure its going to out for the 2 weeks mentioned in this post though.

Games Enthusiast what are you talking about the fact that they spend £575m at a time when people are going to food banks is disgrace you won't be happy when front line services are cut to pay for this joke remember there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Why can't we all just embrace the games? Â They are great for Glasgow, the atmosphere in the city was fantastic and there was so much stuff on for kids over the summer hols AND it was free. Â What I would hate to see is it all goes back to normal. The area is looking better than it ever did and if it wasn't for the games Dalmarnock would have stayed the same!!!!

I hear you Dennistoun. However it would have been nice if they made these changes for the residents and not just the tourists visiting for a week and a half.

Well done Glasgow. What a great 2 weeks it has been! The helicopters weren't even that annoying.

Hey Anon - I know what you mean it is a shame that they couldn't have made these changes for the residents but were happy to do so for the tourists arriving. Â It's always been the same. Â Remember the Garden Festival? Â Was a great place to go at the weekend and then the Council let it go to ruin. Â As far as I'm concerned the Council never get it right. Â Spend too much money changing things then changing them back when they don't like it!

Helicopter was flying really low again last night.

I thought i heard it. Wonder why it was out again. Cant imagine it was because of the Commonwealth Games - maybe they were just back out looking for the criminals! ;)
