NRA types saying Britishers can't defend themselves because guns and knives are illegal - we have fucking narwhal tusks you idiots.

Also one of the attendees took a narwhal tusk off the wall and went out onto the bridge to attack the perpetrator with it.

These fellas are amazing. The terrorist has already killed 2 people, injured others and they chase him down with a whale tusk and a fire extinguisher. He’s wearing a suicide vest which they don’t know is fake. Incredible. True heroes. #LondonBridge pic.twitter.com/0hduOInM9I— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) November 30, 2019

Which one is the convicted murderer?
― 'Skills' Wallace (Tom D.), Saturday, 30 November 2019 16:50 (four years ago) link
The one without an improvised weapon apparently.
James Ford, 42, was jailed for life in 2004 for the murder of 21-year-old Amanda Champion, who was found strangled with her throat cut in Ashford, Kent, in July 2003.

Volatile flammable liquids used, can ignite with very little heat source, I've always heard.
― nickn, Monday, 6 January 2020 22:50 (four years ago) link
usually combination of shite electricians, terrible site managers, penny pinching building companies imo. it's probably much more complex than that, but still a factor imo!
― calzino, Monday, 6 January 2020 22:51 (four years ago) link
Yeah, overloading electrical circuits probably also a major factor.

Good idea but maybe use a specific thread for that? Every time I see this thread bumped I assume there's been a catastrophic fire or terrorist attack.

I wonder if future historians will look back at this horrendous 2015 ad for One Blackfriars as a perfect Last Days of Rome-style artefact, the hubris before the collapse https://t.co/8v75jDcNys— Dan Hancox (@danhancox) May 27, 2020
an old tweet from D hancox featuring some demented Epstein creepo vibes in a promotional video for the £23m flats in the giant buttplug building, amazing!

That advert (aside from the fury) just makes me nostalgic for swimming pools. what a luxury they were.
― stet, Thursday, 28 May 2020 11:50 (three years ago) link
not been in a swimming pool since Pond's Forge on Feburary 4th which was my son's birthday and that is probably the longest I've gone in decades without swimming. It's really not good.

My understanding is that it doesn't really transmit in water but I wouldn't set foot in a changing room right now.

lol @ that 1 blackfriars video. Every time i see it i completely marvel at the fact of it being built. It basically looks like exhibit A in a bribery and corruption case. It reminds me of that quip that the shard looks like the kind of building you don't expect to see in a functioning democracy x10.
