dsquared, I humbly suggest that the ‘cricket style’ of "4/30" is inappropriate in this situation and the ‘counterstrike style’ of "30/4" is the correct one to use.

Also, if there were four suicide bombers (which I don’t believe there were because the bombs weren’t big by Israeli standards), 4/30 is a really shit kill ratio.

No, more the point that 2 out of the 4 bombs were on the Circle line, which was a bit of a blow to your strategy...

I've believed and been predicting that London would be attacked ever since 9/11 (TBH, barring any horrible surprises, I'm relieved at how low casualties seem to be this time round, even assuming 20 more Tube victims die and the bus casualties work out at 10-30).

I just haven't let it affect my behaviour, because 80/8,000,000 really is fuck all...

Well, you referred to me as a tinfoil hat wearer. Paranoid to think the Tube wouldn't get hit?

What a tosser.

Hi John,
You seem outspoken. Do you think you can curb your effusive expleetives to come on radio tomorrow morning to talk about the bombing.
I work on a programme with Ryan Tubridy presenting at RTE (National Irish Radio).
You can email me at amanda.brown@rte.ie or phone on 00353 1 208 3995

All the best

Not sure what Cliff May said that’s any less sensitive than your Daily Mail post – although that’s not to say it isn’t sensitive. But it’s a legitimate question: some of those protestors, by their rhetoric, seem to think President Bush more evil than Islamic terrorists. This is an opportunity for them to prove those of us who suspect this that our worries are unfounded.

(By the way, "dune coon" is used in the film "Three Kings," set during the first Gulf War. The cunt wins not for novelty, only for his range of racial slurs.)

Apparently there are some fatalaties at Edgeware Road according to ITV and eyewitnesses. Apparently a circle train tube was bombed and then hit by an oncoming train, very nasty….
