That'll be Kuz and the LRA

Better not be Burley, that's where my house is. The report said Beeston and to be honest, even if there was nothing suspect, Beeston should be blown up anyway it's a right shitehole.

looked like fucking blade runner when you came over the hill into town at night time.

yep, not such a pretty town. Went up there last month, there's some new stuff but essentially you can't polish a turd.

Aye, it was a mad place. Someone was murdered in every street I stayed in (3).
What did you do at teeside jamble?
- jamble0
not so good! I think there were a couple of pretty savage things happened in my time but none too close thankfully.
Did an Economics degree 96-99 and moved down to leeds after, been here ever since. (all my mates either went to Leeds uni/met or moved here too)

(Jul 12 05, 06:43)this seems like pretty strong leads considering what they are doing? This sounds like the investigation kicking off rather than a bomb alert. Birmingham city centre was evacuated too at the weekend because of a threat wasn't it?
Not to start spreading rumours but my cousin is a rozzer (I know, the shame) in Essex and they were put on standby on wednesday for a 'large scale incident' in Central London.
I've heard the same from friends of friends in the Ambulances too.
Could be bullshit, could be this alerts happen every week, but it made my blood run cold...

(Jul 12 05, 06:52)I'm sure it wont matter to relatives, but I'm sure it happens more often than we know. Tragic thing is - if you made the decision to evacuate London every 5 minutes, and nothing happened - you'd be out of a job.
Ultimatly the Daily Mail wont see it like that (or the BNP - check the press) and someone will eventually point the finger and some good worker in MI5 will loose their job.

that's true moth, hence the sudden spurt of incidents. The city couldn't carry on like this but I'm sure the same stuff happens day in and out and it's only after something bad happens. I guess it makes me realise how blase I have been about life in London.

Oddly enough I was just in Wimbledon with Para. We stoped for a coffee in Starbucks (yes I KNOW...) and sat outside. I glance in the window and there's a bag leaning against it - completely unattended. I gave it a minute and pointed it out to Para... I then went inside and told the staff who asked around. Was a (American) tourist who said he wanted to reserve his seat.
Fucking carry it dumbass.
Next time it happens I'll go and fetch it for him.
