That's the trouble with calling it 9/11.
I hate when people call the London bombings 7/7. It's such a wanky BREAKING NEWS format. What's wrong with London Bombings, or 7th of July?

In this case I am not sure that's the problem, given that today is 9/9.
I think it's just stupidity. If she'd said it in November...


In fact, in November, I think every Brit should post that same message.

My cousin is simply pissed off because her birthday IS November 9th.

9/11 i.e. 9th of November
is the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I hope you are proud of yourself
I do wonder how many civilians have been killed on the other side of 'the war on terror' and how it balances with western lives lost
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 9 Sep 2011, 9:16, Reply)

It's something absurd like hundreds of thousands
but they're only brown people, it takes a whole load of them to equal one middle class white western man. Only slightly less for a woman.

Ha, so did I.
Something crap about 'Oh, sounds like the French are blowing up London in revenge for losing the olympics'.

I felt like a right shit.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 9 Sep 2011, 9:17, Reply)

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.
I meant 'so did I' make a joke, not actually hear it. I was listening to the radio about the explosion at Moorgate before they knew what it was.

Although I did hear the IRA Liverpool Street Bomb in about 1996, so I know what you mean about how they sound.

Ah, I was working at UCL at the time
My office was just off Tavistock Square.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 9 Sep 2011, 9:23, Reply)

I know it well
My cheating death story is I worked in Tavistock House, next to the BMA, exactly where the bus blew up a mere THREE YEARS earlier...
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Fri 9 Sep 2011, 9:25, Reply)

I cheated death that day by getting off the tube about 2 or 3 stops before it blew up
I think. I've never really wanted to consider it too much.

But then you cheat death every time you don't walk in front of a bus, so it's a bit meaningless

I was at 6th form when it happened
Was quite odd walking into the common room, turning the radio on, and having everyone sat round it, listening to details.

You know the second, failed attempts to blow up a bus?
That was a 26, and it was on my road. I frequently get on that bus, sometimes twice a day.

I'VE CHEATED DEATH.
