Yeah, I know what you mean about the news Este, I only ever watch it when something like this happens as all other news tends to go by the board. And scare mongery badness.

I think I'm going crazy. I know I posted a topic about Wimbledon in the Your Life section on Sunday, adnd I know people had looked at it.... but it's gone. :blink: I can't find it anywhere... which is really... weird...

Well I have been through the first three pages, and I know it won't be any further than that, as past page three are topics that haven't been posted in for weeks. I'll have another look though.

EDIT: Nope, not there. I'm not dreaming am I? I did post it. Does anyone remember seeing a post saying Wimbledon Tennis Championships? I've even searched for Wimbledon and the only topic that came up was last years thread I made.

First of all, I'm glad to hear you Brits are okay. I'm beginning to get very tired of rain.

Then I should reply to an old post by Darrell concerning what the UK includes. Just to let you know I read it but I haven't got the time to reply but it was very useful, thank you! :-)

And Gimli, I might actually have seen your Wimbledon thread... but I've only browsed the forum briefly the past week so I'm not entirely sure... What annoys me most about the way the forum is acting is that every time I post I get the Error page even though my posts get through so I have to close the browser and log in again.

Aye. :confused: I just don't watch it at all I guess. *Shrugs* Which isn't the best way to be, but hey.

:blink: How straaange my dear. I haven't seen it. :nope: But then I always find threads about 2 weeks after they've been started. :lol:

Aye, I am, sorry for worrying you.

Yea, you can look for hours, and then find it, right under your nose. :teehee:

@ Ea - It's very strange to be sure. I'm a bit annoyed about it actually. *shakes fist*

@ Este - No, I don't watch it either. It's all depressing and over the top. I caught a bit of the ABC American news last night and it was very refreshing. People came straight to the point without drumming into people how serious a situation is with all the cliche words they use and the way they express them.

I believe someone in the UK had their wheelie bin stolen.... it has tunred up in Romania. :blink:

Still can't find my thread. *needs a shrug smilie*

So I'm not the only who takes a peek at the ABC American news as well? Good to know, good to know..

Wha..?! Their wheelie bin in Romania? Where'd you hear that?

Things just continue getting stranger and stranger, don't they? :blink:

Channel 80 on Freeview is News 24 and about 1.50 in the morning, they whizzed over to ABC and some old blighter was presenting the news.. and poor whats-his-face from whats-it-called is being got rid of because he's *gasp* 59! :swoon: Oh, the calamity!

Lol, yes it is true. You could ask yourself why anyone would steal a wheelie bin and why it would end up in Romania... but you could also ask yourself why someone would report it... and why it would be a news item. :blink:

Yes, they do. A Mod wouldn't have deleted it surely? If they wanted me to use the 2006 thread, they would just have locked it and pointed out the other thread. *scratches head*

Well what made me laugh was the other week, when Paris Hilton going to jail and Russia thinking of pointing ballistic missiles at Europe were next to each other in the news. I was like, what the hell?

Can't you just re-make the thread or PM a Mod, JF?

Hahahaha, what on earth?! Why would you steal a wheelie bin in the first place? Were they planning to live in it? :P

Sorry to hear that, Johnny's Fan! Hopefully it'll turn up before long, I've had that happen to me on other forums before, very annoying. :huh:

@ Este - EEP! They were?! I hope they aren't pointing it at Europe now. Urgh... anything that is unimportant wil always be shown either before or just after the important stuff. Like the Spice Girl re-grouping. Who gives a monkey's arse when there's so much devastation going on in England at the moment.

I think I will PM a Mod about it, rather than post it again and risk it going AWOL.

@ Sisílcal - Lol, who knows. :teehee:

Did you all hear about the bomb in London? Outside a nightclub in Haymarket and 1 in the monring. The ambulance were there because a man wasn't feeling very well, and they noticed a silver car which had previously been seen to crash into a wall or something (which the driver had fled), was smoking. Inside were 60 litres of petrol, 2 gas cylinders and nails. The police detonated it, but they don't know if it was a suicide bomber gone wrong or what. Either way, it would have caused "carnage" if it had gone off.

I don't really know much more about it, but it seems to me as it was placed outside somwhere that wasn't as busy as it could be (like a tube at 9.00 in the morning) and the fact it went very wrong, it could be the work of an extreme individual who wanted to prove something... it could even be someone trying to stir up trouble between Britian the the Muslim communites.

i'm not sure if the russians ever did point their missiles at us in the end, but the worst thing is that they were considering doing so because george bush had offended putin. why should we suffer because russia and america have fallen out again? ridiculous!

no, i hadn't heard about that. it's a scary world we live in now.

the timing's probably significant, given that we've just had a new PM. do they know it was a muslim, or is that just a presumption the police/the media/you have made? because muslims aren't the only people who try to plant bombs.

@ Estë: Ugh. It's depressing to see something so trivial as Paris Hilton in jail on the news as opposed to something that's actually important. Especially with potential bombers running about England. :disgust:

@ JF: How odd. :confused: I hadn't heard anything about that at all. But it doesn't seem like the person who did it was very smart as it wasn't very good timing and it didn't even work. I dunno if we should jump to conclusions about whether the person was Muslim or not. We've already got enough problems with that as it is..

Er, actually I wasn't at all saying it was a Muslim. The only time I even mentioned the word "Muslim" was in association with the fact it could be someone trying to make it look like the previous terrorist attacks we have had before. And let's face it, with the terrorist attacks we have had, and the people that have been imprisoned for attacks that failed, it is entirely possible it was someone who was trying to make it look one of the London terrorist attacks, to cause unrest between the Muslim community. Similar things have happened in the past with the IRA, they never planted the bomb, but someone tried their hardest to make it look like they did.

As of yet, they don't know who did it, and there is another case at least of a car that has been abandoned and the police are treating that as suspicious, but whether it is connected they don't know. It looks like there is a possibility it wasn't just one car.

Yep, because we have a new PM, that could have something to do with it as well.

So, yeah. No-one knows who did it, what their religion is or anything. So I don't think anyone has been jumping to conclusions. Animal activists have the knowledge to create such bombs, it may be someone unhappy that is apple crops have got rot in them, I don't know.

^ okay, fair enough. sorry to have misinterpreted you - it appears i was the one jumping to conclusions. it's just that a lot of people do seem to equate terrorism with muslims, and i have friends who've suffered because of that point of view, so it's something i've become very touchy about.
