OT London
 
My heart felt prayers and best wishes to all our friends over in
London. Hope none of our RAMVA people have been directly touched by
these Horrible events.

My wife and daughter are in the area right now. They'd planned to
visit London and see what there was to see there all day today, but
fortunately my wife is not a "morning person" so they got up late
enough that the news of the bombings had already come out. She
emailed me to let me know that they wouldn't go to London today unless
they were sure it was safe. Not sure how anyone could know that. I
hope they just stayed away completely.

Thanks Terry

I dont live in London, but this is a small country and we all know or
know of someone who is there.

I was at university in London in the early 70s when the IRA were trying
to bomb us to bits. We got through that, and we'll get through this.

Most people yesterday were over the moon with the Olympic bid win, and
us getting one over on the French.

Doesn't seem so important now, and all the parties have been cancelled.

Elation to despair in twenty four hours.

Funny old world we live in.

Terrible news. I felt very sad all day thinking in all people that are victim of
violence and wars.

My sentiments to you Travis, hope your family is safe.
But, have a good think now, who trained these groups in the old days
against the commies??

You have a realy long good think now before you call me, and most of
Western Europe for idiots now, do you listen ??

I'm not taking the **** now, neither should you....

Suggest to your wife that she leave London, go to Oxford via the train. It
leaves regularly. A short ride. And go to the Turf Tavern there, and visit
Christ Church, where I went to school. It used to be quite pretty.

I'd pass along your recommendation to her, but I don't have constant
contact with her. Wow, I miss her even more than I imagined I would,
and I imagined I'd miss her a LOT. :-/ She won't be home until
7/20.

I'm surprised the English didn't declare war on the French after the snitty
remarks they made about English food yesterday. (Second only to the Finnish
in badness? The French are the ones that eat snails and fish eggs and cold
soup.)

I was deeply saddened by today's events. These kind of people only
understand the Chicago way. Being nice to them only makes them more
determined. I think they are cowards that did this.

It's good to do things like this. I hope she enjoys England, regardless of
the language barrier. :)

Jebus, at first I read "I used to be quite pretty".
I was like, "no way!"

:P ;)
