Standing room only at Olympics

The attendance at the Folies is so sparce that they have enlisted a
bunch of Squaddies to fill a few seats, regardless of the fact that
these same Tommies were supposed to be on "Security Detail" following
the failure of the official security commissar to live up to his
contract.

I doubt they were on duty, they are staying on site IIRC so there would
be plenty sitting around waiting for their next stag.

According to the article, they _were_ on duty, but the Brass had yielded
to the force majeur and so instead of running security, they were
filling a few empty seats.

No biggie either way.

Yeah well, as I said elsewhere according to the Times Bradley Wiggins
just had the bestest season ever in the history of cycling, so I
wouldn't believe everything you read ;-)

You mean it's not true that the Chinese have discovered a way to harness
Higgs Bosun and turn the matter created into energy that an athlete can
use when needed?

There must be some other explanation for their super performances then.
