And without all the world's best athletes.
or the official Games mascot, Clyde, who appears to have been designed by a six year old with some crayons
She was 12 years old.

I'll be seeing Usain Bolt and Mo Farah hopefully. Don't get much better than that.
Bolt's only running in the relay though.
Mo's races will be interesting though - he will be up against the Kenyans...

The opening & closing ceremonies are a closely guarded secret but I'm led to believe (keep it to yourself) that we can expect a comedy gala opening led by Russ Abbot reprising his role as C U Jimmy in a hilarious head to head with Ronnie Corbett. This is to be followed by the official homecoming appearance of The Krankies, as they lead 5 million watching Scots in an emotional rendition of Fan-Dabi-Dozi, after which the evening culminates in a world first: Susan Boyle, John Barrowman & the Scottish Symphony Orchestra performing a specially adapted arrangement of Donald Where's Yer Troosers to the jawdropping backdrop of a £4 million firework display over Firhill.
Mum's the word though.
