Jesus. I can not believe the comments on this post. Mate, you made a cynical joke regardless of others’ hysterical bandwagon-jumping. Good on you.

John's joke was excellent. Within hours of the blasts I'd already thought of some sick jokes of my own, and have shared them with friends (even those who were actually in the vicinity and suffered smoke inhalation and shock). They weren't half as funny as John's, though, which is why I won't repeat them here.

Not only am I a Londoner, but I have pretty strong views about what happened, and I'd appreciate it if anyone who wants to criticise me read my post first.

Well done, John. I'll be lining up on your side against the humourless ones.

I’m starting to believe it was the work of American bloggers. They’ve got the most mileage out of it anyway.

This thread contains even more potty-mouth talk than one of John's posts.

Anyway, everyone knows the French Secret Service did it in a Rainbvow Warrior stylee, as revenge for the Olympic defeat. At this very moment their agents are swigging Calvados on board the aircraft-carrier Charles de Gaulle, so conveniently situated off Portsmouth.

I suppose we should be grateful they didn't use Exocets.

You can laugh

or

You can cry

Makes no difference as long as you are able to punch the enemy between the eyes.

Further sanctimonious cuntishness is available at the Drink-Soaked Trots website, btw, with at least a couple of "why the bombings mean we must support my politics" posts already in evidence.

Apparently it was just on the news that France has surrendered.

I was almost certainly closer to being blown up today than anyone commenting here, so I’m going to have the definitive word, as I shake in shock while trying to consume beer as quickly as possible. John isn’t a tosser. If you can’t laugh now, when can you? And that was funny.

The Liverpool Echo’s headline on the sinking of the Titanic was apocryphally "Wirral Man Feared Drowned".

The terrorists must not be allowed to rob us of our right to take the piss out the Daily Mail whenever and wherever we want.

Enough of this politically correct crap. If I'd been caught in the bomb-blast, I would expect my death to be mercilessly plundered as a source of bad-taste comedy. But I would come back from the dead and haunt with all the gruesome terror I could muster any LGF-esque cunt who wished to turn it into "the West" versus "the Arabs" issue.

It used to be a part of the British character to wait till the bodies were cold before taking the piss.

Sanctimonious ignorant bullshit.

Glad you're ok John. Best wishes to all in London.
