i think this is actually goin g to affect me. usually when another major transit system does that, then BART (the bay area subway) does it too.

[Walter Sobchak]

its not so long ago that bombs were commonplace in this country though

I remember that well (being Old n'all) it's a terrible thing, and my thoughts go out to all those involved....

An Ex-navy man told me "comedy is everywhere" after he'd came back from the Gulf (round 1 that was) "in amongst the most terrible tragedy, there will be something that you really want to smile at or laugh about"

The TV picture of loads of people coming up from the underground, looking shocked, and phoning their loved ones desperately, and there casually wandering towards the camera is a teenager eating sweets from a bag! (think he had headphones on too) great image that gives a sense of realism.

[Mafro]

I was watching News 24 earlier and while the reporter on the street going on about the injuries and deaths, two gurning fools were behind her happily smiling and waving at the camera.

i suppose this means there will never again be rubbish bins in the tubestations.

The bins was removed years ago during the IRA bombs, now there are just see through plastic bags.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I hate all the fake sincerity but after yesterday not giving a toss over london winning the olympics as it feels very remote from here... it suddenly seems a lot closer.

[DemonHorse]

i suppose this means there will never again be rubbish bins in the tubestations.

Thats already been done, there havent been any bins for a good few years now.

[DemonHorse]

Also neither the Olympics OR G8 is the reason... the net posts claiming to be Al Quaeda say it's revenge for "british zionist government mass slaughter in Iraq" or some kind of BS like that.

[Sidders]

It may not be the reason, but the fact that it was timed to clash with the start of G8 cannot be a coincidence.

[DemonHorse]

there is that factor, but there are a few theories as to why this timing.

for instance, a large part of the Metropolitan Police Force's finest is in Gleneagles as they are part of the extended security in place for the G8 Summit.

But as with a lot of things at the moment, it's just theories

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

yeah. like evolution.

why the hell do people feel the need to make up their own cases about what has happened?

[DemonHorse]

because sometimes people need answers and a sense of closure, especially those that have had relatives/friends killed or seriously injured. Sometimes if they can come up with their own answer, it can help ease their mind a little. It's a psychological thing.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

yeah but not you. berk.

The chill morning sun
Cracks cold blue skies and
Bursts on green leaves
Bright visual warmth
On a truly chilly morning.

The chill morning sun
Cracks cold blue skies and
Bursts on green leaves
Bright visual warmth
On a truly chilly morning.

I sit inside looking out,
As the beauty of the world
Tells me quiet lies,
Of pleasant walks in Winter.
Wearing my coat, I sip cocoa.

Hmmph, doesn't even rhyme!

BTW Isn't it orange leaves?

[2 CRANE D931]

No..... it's summer!

[Adam]

I've been in London today and well avoided most of all thats happened. Very quiet

power surge.

dont believe the truth.

Is that the hidden track on the new Oasis album?

They usually say something so not to increase panic amongst the public. Saying - Bomb, generally gets people a bit worried..

[Sidders]

Ha, as if a power surge would cause all that.

Is there really a hidden track, or were you just joking? If it is I'd like to know how you get to it.

[Adam]

Ha, as if a power surge would cause all that.

Well at first - the tube was in a bit of pickle, and this was before buses started looking like sardine cans. They started saying it was a power surge - but soon the people started coming out with blood pouring.

Nice..

Is there really a hidden track, or were you just joking? If it is I'd like to know how you get to it.

I was joking. Sorry.

[MK Chris]

The fact that people have basically got on with it today I think speaks volumes about the gut and determination of them. Quite right, don't let it ruin things.

[DemonHorse]

yeah but not you. berk.

SHUT THE F**K UP! I have 2 fold and close friends who are now in hospital because of these f**king cowardly terrorist *, so yes me, sh*t for brains

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

my whole point with the power surge comment was that it was blatently rubbish.

seems like it worked though.

[Steve.]

Such a serious topic and we still can't do it without bickering.

RIP All victims.

[DemonHorse]

oh yes please FORGIVE me for having heightened sensitivity in this situation


[/sarcasm]

[Adam]

DemonHorse/ G_T_W_D - Seriously, is there any need?
