    Ugly's on to something here, how about a new event:

    G4S management, Coe, boyle etc in the centre of the stadium, certain chosen individuals (my me) in the stands with a bagin bucket of KFC and a .308.

    If they make it to the exits they get to live.

    Or even:-

    Kings Cross Steelers (London's premier gay rugby team) with a bargain bucket of KY and 308 different kinds of dildo chase the G4S board round and round the athletics track until the board members collapse, arrse up and too exhausted to fight any more.

    They should pay every penny back really for being such utterly useless tossers, but I suppose this is as good as we'll get.
    I really hope that you are right, but I surmise it won't be that straightforward. Check who's on the Board of Directors of G4S and you'll note that there's enough muscle on there to salvage some profit out of this debacle.

    Their - 'Admin Fee' should be an interesting figure in the circumstances.

    You said that would happen on the Leveson Committee aftermath and I'm still waiting.

    It will all be alright now, because according to at least one newspaper, the troops that took part in the Games security operation are all to receive a specially minted souvenir coin.
    If it comes with a hole in it, maybe it could be converted into a souvenir gong
    It would probably look better than the design of the olympic medals which look like an original and rejected design draft of Jim will fix it medals.

    £2.5million works out at £139 per man drafted in to cover their clusterfuck of a service. My flatmate, who works for G4S, told me that at the site he works on, they had upto 10 men daily just paid to sit around so they COULDN'T work at the Olympic sites (and some of the blokes volunteered to work there before this debacle), that's 10 men at just one site, how many others were there doing the same?
