Biggest event on the Gold Coast and overgrown median strips everywhere on main roads through Ashmore? JimmyBBQ

Dear Council. All this parkland in Broadbeach, yet continue to close off roads & parking for sound stages. Defies practicali­ty, access. -–Marco Polo

Commonweal­th Games closing ceremony .... please show the glitz ... even the Meter Maids .... finish on a fresh fun note. Just a thought.

Anybody on the GC want to do a bit of shopping NOW is a great time. Hardly any traffic on our roads.

The aboriginal protesters were so loud I could not hear a thing David Koch was saying, it was fantastic. Woodleigh

It seems the CommGames transport system is working TOO well. At every event we are quickly ushered onto buses and shipped efficientl­y away. Noone is left to check out the shops or street performanc­es. Mk

Rumour has it borobi missed the opening ceremony after failing a drugs test. Too many eucalyptus leaves during the baton relay. paul tugun

Are there any other countries participat­ing in the Comm games? All I hear is Straya Straya Straya ... Jaxon

Why do criminals get to have a dog in prison? Do our taxes pay for the dogs to eat too and can we choose to only feed the dogs? World’s gone mad. Wog

With Peter Beattie, Tom Tate and Kate Jones hogging all the limelight, it seems they’ve forgotten all the groundwork done by Anna Bligh and Campbell Newman. Such is politics.

I find amazing these indigenous protesters are on dole payments while they protest. Maybe if they spend half the effort they put into protesting to finding a job, now that would be amazing.

been on the radio 92.5 encouragin­g people to go to restuarant­s. What a joke. My son went to broadbeach for dinner paid to park came out to find 160 parking fine. There was a sign 50 metres down the road size of an envelope saying games parking. Revenue raising at its best.

For those that missed the message. The Gold Coast. Beautiful one day, A ghost

town the next. No disrespect to our great athletes. JP

After the Sydney Olympics 500 overseas athletes went awol but don’t worry they have all been found representi­ng Australia at the commonweal­th games. Tom

Why Rosies and other homeless food providers weren’t given the opportunit­y to access the huge food wastage at the various Games events is an absolute crime and heads should roll because of such oversight, touching on down right disgracefu­l. Doug

Who is in charge of street lights? Lots of them burnt out on the Esplanade in Surfers!

Just spent two days in Robina hospital. Nurses and doctors very good a pleasure to be there. It is a pity the catering staff are not as good. A hello would be nice to patients. From Les r. Mudgeeraba.

Not overly impressed with the diving event organizati­on Wednesday nite. Too drawn out and then some idiot decided to get the crowd singing and swaying back & forth in the stand. Did it sway! Quite scary. They wouldn’t have been laughing if it collapsed. Spoilt the night for me. Give us a break with that audience participat­ion garbage – we’re not kids.

First thing to fix M1 between tugan helensvale is get rid of kings college on side of road. It all goes bad there school time. And dangerous for mums with kids trying to merge. Bad place for school. The g.

What a wonderful games, thanks especially to all of those volunteers. Alan Jones and other whingers get yourselves a life. ERB

50 Billion to buy some French subs but ordinary hard working Gold Coast taxpayers can’t drive to Brisbane in one hour. – Palmyboy

Half the Chatroom should be the Gripe Room. Barney Shocking results regarding the traffic camera Rudd Street intersecti­on. More of the 24/7 cameras needed. Rosi Shenko

Games volunteers, security, police, workers. Thank you. Your friendline­ss has been overwhelmi­ng. Let the negative people sit at home behind their computers. We dont care, we just enjoy the moment. PaulJ

Can anyone tell me where a reasonably good looking young 60 yr old guy who doesn’t drink or smoke or gamble or internet dating, can meet nice interestin­g ladies, any age for friendship­s, who are not drunks or druggies. There has to be lots of ladies in the lower G.C/ Tweed areas who want to meet guys who know how to have fun and care for and respect women. J.W
