(I helped save b3ta! Mike Fishcake teamfishcake.co.uk - better than your mum's face, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 9:36, archived)
I'm going to be doing some 24 hours news channel surfing...
SKY says a bus has 'exploded' in Russel Square.

This sounds pretty big....

I turned on BBC1 to see if there was a news flash
and was greeted by a house makeover program featuring a rather butch blonde in a skirt. That has to be a man.

Sky tend to be utter
shit when reporting facts, though.

equation:
Sky news = (truth + guessing) x 5

Predictably, the BBC is better informed than b3ta..

a very agrophobic friend of ours
should have been at Liverpool St at about that time and isn't on MSN now. hasn't replied to a text yet either

This used
to happen to us on a monthly basis at school. You get very held up, very bored, and very frustrated.

It's not fun but if s/he can cope with Liverpool Street at rush hour they'll be grand. They've most likely been held up somewhere else along the journey.
(I helped save b3ta! Dekazer, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 9:43, archived)
I remember those days
you had to check your station was open or stand outside for an hour while they checked for bombs. They even stripped out all the ceiling linings so bombs couldn't be hidden which made it look even more decrepid that it already was.
The bloody Irish terrorist bastards

My most dramatic one
was when they uncovered the mainland's largest ever IRA bomb factory round the corner from school, and we all went up to the top of the multistorey to gawp at the blood spattered front door where they'd gunned someone down, no doubt as his picked up his milk bottles.. That's what you used to get going to school in Hammersmith.

I've been microchipped

Do you think that's a sign of over-possesiveness?

I've been implanted, but I'm milking the bandage as if it was a proper injury!

ahhh
is it in your arm?

It is indeed
The same arm that already has weird lumps in it, so I shall be a veritable freak show now :D

Yep
Bali would be nice.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 9:52, archived)
Quite a few people here are still touchy about Bali
after a few years back when some cunts blew up a tourist bar there.

And also because an Australian was recently sentenced to 20 years for smuggling marijuana there, even though the Australian Court of Public Opinion decided that she was innocent. Of course, it doesn't have anything to do with her being an attractive young woman...
(s0WmVHAwZgpG, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 9:55, archived)
Touchy?
Come live in London. It started in the second world war and has been bombed ever since on a regular basis.

The only way to live with it is humour.

edit/ Coincidently I had a drunken conversation with a Norwegian girl in a pub in Oxford Street on Tuesday.
She had come back from Paris and realised how much damage London had sustained in the war from bombing only after seeing how intact Paris was.
(I helped save b3ta! Enigmatic ™                 Voice No More                  ©, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 9:57, archived)
Yes,
but you have to realise that we're kind of sheltered here. The only worry we have about war is how to surrender if the Indonesians suddenly decide they want a bit more land.

that was my point.

The French army are already preparing for that eventuality
