Everybody ok?

Post by **Best First** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 9:45 am

check in guys.

Post by **snarl** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 9:50 am

I'm in.

Hmm, didn't go in on the Central Line today, ******* pleased as punch about that. I think Legion uses it though, we have to find out from him.

I don't know how it can be caused by a power surge?

Post by **snarl** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 9:54 am

That is extremely doubtful seeing as 2 buses exploded.

Lots of sirens round here.

Post by **Best First** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 9:55 am

considering at least 2 buses have had explosions on them the power surge seems v unlikley. Plus the compnay that supy power to thetube are saying that nothing is wrong.

fark.

Am I glad I decided to have a spliff before leaving the house this morning. Hqlf an hour earlier and I would have been right there.

Just got back from the Tube station, everything's locked down. Mobile phone networks jammed, had to go to a payphone to call my mom. [composite word including 'f*ck'].

Jeez, EmVee.
Listening to the radio right now; it sounds pretty bad.
Very, very glad to hear you guys are okay, this was one of the first places I checked.

Tony will be speaking at midday. Clarke was just on, not very helpful. Crap.

Anybody have any clue what the [composite word including 'f*ck'] is happening yet? Part of me thinks this has been prompted by the Olympics decision... some form of practical illustration of why London shouldn't have gotten it. *pushes thought to back of mind*

Good to know that folks are accounted for so far.

What about the Dans?

Hope you guys are all ok...

Legion · Post by **Legion** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 10:37 am

just heard on the news that Arab intelligence sources are blaming AlQuida.

now, is it because of the Olympic decision yesterday, or the G8 conference? Or both?

almost accounted for everyone i know now i tink, just a few stranglers...

You know the Stranglers?

Been innundated with texts this morning. Can't get in touch with my housemate, we both go in to Liverpool Street but she actually made it in early today

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 10:44 am

I'd imagine it's all to do with the G8 rather than the Olympics, but I guess that idea can't be put aside completely.
Radio is saying UK security is 'silent and unobtrusive' when asked why there were no cops at all the stations. Well there's laods of cops up here, they're guarding every major transport station for miles around Gleneagles and all significant buildings in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, including mine. A lot of metropolitan police are up here this week.

Jsut been told some wild rumour that there was a communication between Israeli intelligence(!?) and Scotland Yard shortly before the first explosion.
Also that there may be up to 3 buses hit.

Isn't Jetfire a Londoner too?
I've heard from a mate down there, he's stuck in his building basically.

Yeah, I make it that we're missing updates from Jetfire Dan and Angloconvoy Dan... the latter of which hasn't been about much lately anyway.

Mobile networks are overloaded, i hope that's the reason mate.

Yeah, and Anglo, any words from those guys?

Hope everyone manages to get in touch with their friends/loved ones OK.

erm cant say to much right now, its come as a bit of a shock.

I really do hope everyone is ok, I have to check on friends and family myself now.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 10:50 am

Just got word from Anglo - he's okay.

Thanks B.

Glad that so far everyone's OK...must be quite unnerving to live in a city where such things can happen...

To be honest I was expecting something like this after Hungary joined the USA's 'peacekeeepers' in Iraq,but I guess we are so insignificant the ALQUaida won't even send a novice suicide bomber here.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 11:03 am

Blair admitted the likelihood of terrorism in his speech. [composite word including 'f*ck'].

I think they have been threatening us, too, but I hope they won't bother.

Good to hear nobody was hurt, hope those who weren't heard from yet are OK, too.

Hey guys, just read the news this morning, checked in to make sure you guys were ok. Glad to hear that noone from here was caught in it, at least it doesn't seem anyone has been.

What can I say. I heard the news on the radio on the way in to work. Sorry to hear it guys. Glad to hear TransFans residents are still kicking, not so glad for the casualties and their families. Stay up.

Post by **Best First** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 2:15 pm

any word from Jetfire?

Manchester Devil · Post by **Manchester Devil** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 2:19 pm

Talk about poor timing (in relation to the announcement of the awarding of the Olympics to London just the day before). Nice to see everyone here all well and good though pity for the victims.

I hope this doesn't drown out the feelgood factor of the Olympics, though I certainly don't like the fact that this is came after a week of feelgood fun.

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 2:29 pm

Glad to hear everyone is safe. Can't wait to here from Jetfire. (What about Denyer or Autobloke?) Our heart are with ya, guys.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 2:40 pm

Denyer and Autobloke aren't based anywhere near London, so I doubt it's an issue for them.
