Its at times like this where I really regret not concentrating at school and getting some sort of useful qualification to help folk, if a call goes out for strong backs, I'm on my way but untill then I'd just get in the way

Nice adlib from Sky News when they went over to House of Commons to hear a speech by Geoff Hoon. Hoon was talking about something completely unconnected to the bombs.
SKY: "Apparently Mr Hoon is NOT making a statement. A note there for anyone who wishes to upset democracy. It's business as usual in the House of Commons."

My Girlfriend works in the city. She’s just received an email from the company brass saying: “We are compiling a list of those of you who live in London. We will then compile a second list detailing which of you have available beds for tonight.”

BBC news page reports that a website claiming to be from a terrorist organisation attached to Al Qaeda have claimed responsibility - no text to back this up - just on the ticker tape at the top of the page.

I'm currently stuck here. All my educational team have gone on standby, phones can't beused in case of an emergency. Nobody knows who is going home and how.
I've got two tasks for the day.
Answer the phones if it rings - doubtful Update the team if any change of plan comes through from email - doubtful also, I reckon it's going to be a 24 hour 'expect the worse' scenario.
Even more facked up, was that I was saving my 4000th post for something special and going to request a dripping red underground sign. Obviously, in keeping with my bands design work, and just simply 'decay'
Fucking creepy. At least I used it to contact everyone on here.

Yeah, there are a few girls in our office that were asking if anyone could offer a place for them to stay for the night. Naturally, I selflessly raised my hand.

This will probably be the last night that Central London hotels can fill all their beds for about two years after today's events. Suppose they might as well try and make something out of it then.

The only mention of the Leicester Squre bomb seems to have been in the official LAS statement. No cameras or reporters there for Sky of BBC at the moment.
quote:one of the suicide bombers was shot before he/she detonated, hence six explosions instead of the numerologically significant seven. Seven bombings on the seventh of the seventh - this is certainly the work of a religious group, realistically probably Islamic (al'Q, Hezbollah etc.) but could be any other religion that uses the Old Testament.

I just spoke to the National Blood Service regarding making a donation however they said that the stocks are ok at the moment and as yet no emergency centres have been set up. She said that the situation will be monitored throughout the day and if they require donations a notice will go out on TV and radio.

The eyewitness people they are interviewing on Sky are saying that there are large numbers of medical and other emergency personnel around which implies that the emergency plan is fairly robust, at least.

Listening to BBC London I am actually getting a great feeling of bloody-minded defiance, and just get on with life attitude by everyone in London. People rallying around looking out for eachother, contingency planning seems to be working bloody well, and just this whole attitude that life goes on.
It may be a sad day for London, but it is also a chance to show what a bloody great city it is too.
