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.

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...

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
