It's in times like these that we need to remember that we (maybe) shouldn't take anything for granted. Take a load off with this soothing poster art!

Hey, this is a shout out to all our London crew, you guys all OK and not involved in the carnage that's unfolding I hope...?
Update at 9.10pm - Well no news is good news and the G8 disruption hereabouts is, it seems, winding down. This morning I drove past at least 100 riot police in full regalia surrounding the "Eco-Village" that was set up by protesters. They kinda pished on their chips yesterday morning when some of their number, or maybe infiltrators, trashed Burger King and a few other stores down there. Who could have known that maybe an hour later, London would be the scene of a long expected attack?
And the TV and Radio has been reporting ala 9/11 all day long. Speculation and "credit" for the atrocity citing possible suicide bombing, the usual suspects but the worst aspect is that there was no warning, no nothing. It could have been anybody, the frontiers are all blurred, me personally? I don't believe bloody anything anymore. We're numb to the expression "terrorist attack" and lets face it - so far - the UK hasn't suffered as many fatalities as Spain or The USA. Of course, that's no solace. Driving past those guys in the riot gear this morning was surreal. Like some kinda virtual reality. Certainly an alien landscape for these here parts.
