Oh and...

So you know that car bomb in Piccadilly on Thursday night? I only found out about it through my parents texting me from Australia, asking me if I was anywhere near it (I wasn't, though it was RIGHT OUTSIDE my friend Leda's work).

Actual text from my mum this morning:

"Glad you're going to bomb-free Glasgow!"

Erm, oh dear.

What a bizarre incident!!!

I know! Not the best thought out terrorist plot I've encountered...

Maybe they'll miss that story?

My mum is the same, she text me yesterday asking if I'd got to work ok. The bomb didn't even go off. Although maybe that shows how long I've been here, that I'm so blase about it. Well, it is their job to worry I suppose.

Heh, no such luck, I got a text from her last night about it. My mum's an avid BBC World Service listener, and she often hears about stuff before I do.

Are the "terrorists" chasing you? Or are you following them? :>

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

It would appear to be the latter!

It really looks like no where is safe!

Nowhere I want to live, in any case...

Hee! I mean, terrorism is bad, but makes for amusing Jess anecdotes.

My life continues to be RIDICULOUS AND FARCICAL.

I feel like such a bad man but I want to ask those guys, uh, "did you forget the explosives?" I mean, just crashing a car into... well anyway. I don't want to give them ideas, but, you know, uh, maybe if you're hoping to take out a terminal in the VITALLY IMPORTANT GLASGIE AIRPORT you might want to, uh, actually, you know, blow it up or. Anyway. Never mind.

So. How are you there? We're all fine here, though we hear that there's some nasty shit juuuuust about to happen. Good on your intelligence services, though, keeping that shit from happening. Wish ours were that good.

I know, it was really quite a sad attempt. I mean, come on people, a blazing car? Crashing into some glass doors? Not very convincing.

Don't worry, even the terrorism is half-assed and ill thought out pish up this way. they didn't even manage to kill themselves, ffs!

Aw, bless! At least they're trying...
