next time someone causes me to get a splinter or suchlike i'll accuse them of having "partially killed" me. likewise with anyone who serves me a beer.

"That hit the fractionally fatal spot!"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 21 July 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

maybe a dead leg or something.

i dunno if i'm comfortable discussing what partially dead means at the moment when it's related to someone who is currently apparently in this state.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 21 July 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

If they serve you a beer they are partially killing, partially lovin'.

doh.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 21 July 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Ahh now theyre saying it was a robbery. and nothing to do with the bombings.

In an area with about 2000 policemen. It beggars belief.

Trains on two Tube lines are not running as drivers are refusing to work after security alerts on the network.

The Piccadilly and Bakerloo Lines are shut because of what London Underground is describing as staff action.

The Hammersmith and City Line is closed and the Northern and Metropolitan Lines are running with restrictions.

The Oval, Warren Street and Shepherd's Bush (Hammersmith and City Line) Tube stations remain closed after being evacuated shortly after 1230 BST.

Thameslink trains are not stopping at King's Cross, Farringdon and St Albans.

Midland Mainline trains are not running into or out of St Pancras because of an alert at St Albans station.

The Metropolitan Line is not running south from Baker Street. Moorgate mainline station is also closed.

Buses are operating as normal.

Police are advising people to stagger their journeys home due to the disruption on many lines.

hoo, the joke potential in this sentence is too vast to contemplate.

seriously: what, they expect several million commuters to get together and work out a plan? "after you, old chap." "no, i insist. i couldn't possibly." etc.

I had almost forgotten about David Copeland until recently. What an 'orrible cunt.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

Jane B, you haven't been following ILX much over the last couple of weeks? Apologies for having vengeful thoughts about suicide bombers after one of my close friends was on the receiving end two weeks ago.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

Yes in the circumstances I feel 'Jane' should fuck off.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

my boss just told us that she was in BIBA's when the angry brigade bombed it in the 70s!!

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

My boss was on the Bay Bridge when it collapsed during the last earthquake.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

They never really caught the Angry Brigade did they. I know they arrested and tried people, but that was the seventies.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

everyone wore bell bottoms and had long hair, it was impossible to tell anyone apart.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:18 (twenty years ago)

Are the Angry Brigade like the Weather Underground?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

ok i am going to stagger my journey home!! keep safe ppl

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

"It was confirmed that the blast on the bus was that of the bomb's detonator and the explosives themselves didn't actually blow up. The explosives remain on the bus and bomb disposal specialists and robotics are in the process of removing the bomb."

From the Wiki entry.

they've cancelled the recording of the show i was taking my mom to tonight. which means i have to think of something to entertain her. damn the bombers.

anyone want to take my mom out for a drink?

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm hoping not to stagger my journey home, but speed all the way to SE19 on an express-type bus wiv da missus and da baby. This may not be possible in the circumstances.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:26 (twenty years ago)

Get Chris drunk, he'll do it.

I'll be in the Angel on St Giles if you think my funny face would amuse her.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

It amuses me and I am a steel hearted robot.

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

My face just made her cry.

Are we talking about Colettes mum still?

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

I wasn't but others may well have been.

Just cycled home:

Not liking the new pedestro-cyclo utopia that Totenham court road has become as pedestrians are not aware of cyclists. TCR buses running up and down southampton road as far as I can see, some 30s laid up in charlotte st but some things seem to be running, lots of people walking home.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:36 (twenty years ago)

Are Pam and Ava coming up this way, then? If so, I would like to say hello.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

(Yes, I believe they're coming into the office. Let the cooing commence.)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 21 July 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

Is the Tube totally shut down then? I might just stay here and work until it gets dark... I've got about enough sitting on my desk.

"I can neither confirm or deny anything except to say the tubes are busy as fuck and I can never get a copy of the Metro."

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

(I don't know whether Pam & Ava will be coming to the pub; we're not going to Brentwood.)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

Why bother holding this press conference? Insulting rubbish.
The Tube is not totally shut down. Red Ken says check his website.
