Move to London: It’s a blast

And the song of the day – The Skyhooks – It’s a Horror Movie right there on my tv…



You will have to forgive the rather inappropriate heading but, I think it reflects the mood that I am in……



Two weeks ago tyoday it was all just a bit overwhelming and surreal but now…… I am just annoyed and angry. This is what I am annoyed at

  • Everyone said “it’s happened now, it wont happen again”. Aren’t these terrorists supposed to give us some time to let the healing process begin before they attempt something like this again? Aren’t we supposed to be able to relax enough to be able to take a deep breathe in and breathe it out again??
  • It pisses me off that they targeted a hospital. It is bad enough that they attack areas that are heavily populated (that also happen to be core infrastructure) but, don’t also try (try being the operative word here) to bring down those facilities that we need to try and fix/mend/deal with the havoc that is created
  • I am concerned that this will now be a part of every day life and I am sorry, but I don’t want that. Whilst I have been “unaffected”, I will admit it – I don’t like being on the tube very much; I do get nervous when I am on the tube and I see a bag bigger than my gym bag; I do get edgy when we stop in tunnels and I am damned if I want to be battling to send home the “I’m OK” text messages every two weeks because the phone lines are constantly down and jammed.
  • I am annoyed that they have resorted to Nail Bombs. Nail bombs are not designed to instantly kill – they are designed to inflict pain and maim people. The only person that dies instantly is the bomber…..
  • Finally I am pissed that they didn’t do it properly. I know that sounds odd and I don’t expect anyone to understand what I am saying but I have found these failed attempts (apparently the chargers didn’t detonate properly) more stressful than what happened two weeks ago. It is almost selfish in a way – I feel like yelling at someone and saying “For God’s sake, if you are going to do, do it properly!!!”

Anyway, that is it for tonight.
