Completely Off-Topic / It seems London is being bombed..

:dances:

Edit: Why doesn't this banana dance in firefox?

Banana's dancing just fine on my Firefox. :D

Edit: Well, damn.  It was dancing just fine, but now it's not. :?   What did you do to my banana?

Edit edit: Right click on the banana, click "View Image", and then hit F5 until it starts dancing.  Then click back.  Everything should be dunky horey. :wink:

It could be a javascript problem. In Mozilla based browsers, as soon as any javascript is run from clicking a link, all animated gifs stop animating until you refresh the page. This is why all mouse events should be tied in with the onClick <a> property rather than href .. bla bla bla .. although looking around the page I can't see any javascripty links ..

Edit : The banana stopped for me, but the animated banners didn't, so it's not that at all! Maybe the gif doesn't loop forever?

Edit: A friend of mine told me something today that blew my mind in regards to 911.  More British Citizens died in 911 than in this bombing.

Considering similar terrorist attacks such as 911, it is strange that this bombing wasn't on a larger scale. There are some huge targets in London, like Canary Wharf. Although I guess the point is to cause panic and distress, and they certainly achieved that much.

So glad to hear you're okay Rosie!

Just think of it this way . . you have been exceedingly lucky today, considering how things could have gone had you not got lost. It's a good thing London is such a confusing maze eh? :)

I think it's more likely the people who orchestrated this were intent on disrupting the summit, which it did to a certain extent, because Tony has left the other world leaders to chat and flown down to London to sort things out.

Anyone talked to Rosie?

Don't have any contact details for her.

Does she go to college in London or anything??

Good to see you two...

I wanted to check in and make sure all you UK folks were OK...  please keep us posted on what's happening and I hope we hear from everyone in the area...

Thanks Jase. I'm just glad I don't work in London. I do have a friend there, but he's okay. very relieved.

and thanks for that info, Bri!

Yeah.. just watched his speech. He seems to think it's to disrupt the summit.. which I guess it has done, seeing as he's flying down to London now.

Lots of rumours about numbers of casualties etc. BBC 1 and ITV seem to have different numbers, so it seems nothing's really confirmed yet. We're leaving the tv on in the office in case anything else develops.

Explosions have taken out the entire underground network and soon after (when everyone rushed to the buses), there were several explosions on buses. Now London is gridlocked and everyone is standing around in the streets unable to get anywhere. Hopefully there isn't going to be a grand finale :S
