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. Where is she staying ? This whole place is quite small, and it doesn't take long to get anywhere really. My brother lives & works in London, and I had a frantic few hours yesterday morning listening to various of his voicemails. Finally tracked him down to stuck on a tube line somewhere just outside of the centre. Luckily him & his wife went in late. She works right next door to the Edgware road site. Phew. He said it was a strange feeling as everyone was just so quiet, but they still got on with everything as best they could. Bliltz mentality, apparently. Hope everyone else manages to get through it somehow. James |

No high oil prices, no power because they'd have no money. No money means no way to buy fertilizer for bombs. No bombs means no more people dead by idiots.

I don't think they even have a clear "cause". If they were doing this in the name of Islam, they wouldn't have put two bombs in the middle of the main islamic community of London. They just like to be assholes. Jan |

And surround that group of people who encourage killing "infidels" by means of suicide which would lead to even greater rewards in heaven... I think you'd find that at least 5 of those original 100 people would actually be willing to commit suicide and kill as many "infidels" as possible along the way. I'm not sure how those ****tards got in their present state. I mean it had to evolve into what it is today, but I think that's about what is going on today. Current generations of terrorists are "by design" and part of that design includes sustaining the herd. Or maybe it's just something in their drinking water combined with the heat that is baking their twisted little excuses for brains. Or they are just so jealous of our freedom that it make them hate us. Nah, that last idea is too stupid for ANYBODY to believe. Right? |

She is staying with her cousin Caroline part of the trip, her "Auntie Maureen" part of the time, and her uncle Roy part of the time. I don't know what area any of them live in. :-) I've met Roy a couple of times, though. He's a cool guy. He helped me build one of the work benches in my garage during one of his visits, and showed me how to cook "lard potatoes." MMMM.... *drool* |
