Thanks.

cheers
have to go and teach in a second. Hope its being blown out of all proportion (pun unintentional). To be honest, i only know a few people in London and the chances are that they are fine. It's shocking cos it's closer to home, but the entire western world is a target for terrorism so we shouldn't be surprised. And nows our chance to show the americans and the spanish how to do things tastefully.

from the sounds of it...
These blasts are designed to cause chaos rather than fatalities.

If they just wanted to kill, they would have hit slightly earlier, and gone for the mainline station forcourts with nail bombs etc.

Bit moot now.
Just tried to get a live feed through Media Player, and it looks like their server as melted under the strain.

Here, I think
most news sites fall over at times like this, you're better off filtering forums.

Google news filters reports in from all over the world.
You have a choice of several hundred to choose from. The San Luis Obispo Tribune is my tip, it shouldn't fall over any time too soon.
