Blimey! The BB house is at Elstree Studios, Borehamwood. The people in the house's families were checked to see that no one was involved. As this was the case they decided not to tell the housemates. I am such a saddo, I'm bloodywell hooked on this trash

well, at least BB UK is much trashier (and hence more fun) than the Aussie one. just pulled up day 46 off BitTorrent
damn, t&a in the sun, and this fabulous line one of the dude's just dropped: something like
"... well, you've got to decide whether to go for the easy pink or the long(?) brown...much like snooker... me, i prefer the easy pink..."
This is either amateur copycats, a good opportunity to get some info (this time the terrorists would still be alive) or a distraction from the real terror action that comes later today.
Detonator went off on a bus in Shoreditch, where my brother lives, about twenty minutes from my frigging house.
Apparently it went off in Columbia Road / Hackney Road, which is the heart of London's muslim quarter. Really weird.
Oof. I hope no one you know was affected. Sorry I missed you in London. I'm going to try to write a grant that'll get me in London for a couple of months next summer.

To ensure that you don't fall victim to summary execution on the London Tube system, please consider the following important rules of behavior:
1) Never run
Even if you're late going to work, NEVER RUN to catch the subway -- only walk slowly (as Englishman Sting sang: "A gentleman will walk but never run.") It doesn't matter if you miss the subway and your Thatcherite/Blairite employer fires you. Your life is more important.
2) Light clothing
No matter how cold the British climate and the subway corridors, NEVER WEAR A COAT or other thick clothing, since that could look like you're hiding explosives on you. We recommend beach attire only. It doesn't matter if you catch the influenza and your Thatcherite/Blairite employer fires you. Your life is more important.
3) White skin
To avoid being confused with Islamists for "walking while black" (or brown), try to GET A WHITE SKIN -- not even a light suntan because that looks even more suspect (Middle-Eastern). For details, you may consult with Michael Jackson.
4) White neighborhood
Living in poor neighborhoods makes you suspect, given the high density of surveillance cameras that will track you on your way from home to the subway. TRY MOVING to a white rich neighborhood.
5) If they're after you
If some shadowy plain-clothes gang starts running at you, STRIP NAKED immediately to show that you're not hiding any explosives on your body. If they're muggers -- too bad, but your life is more important. Be ready to accept a full body-cavity search, because these professionals know that any asshole could hide a hand grenade.

It's been hot as hell in London for the past few weeks.
Maybe they should add don't break the law and keep your visa updated.

Yeah. As of this past Friday (the 15th, I believe).
Apparently it went off in Columbia Road / Hackney Road, which is the heart of London's muslim quarter. Really weird.

'Signature'
The head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Ian Blair, said the new attacks were meant to cause mass casualties.
But why did all the devices fail to detonate?
Speaking on BBC Two's Newsnight programme, Mike Granatt - a government counter-terrorism adviser - said the science of bomb making was not precise.
"People who are doing things in a hurry and under tension get things wrong, - and thank God they appear to have got things wrong," he said.
\t
They can...trace back the materials that were used to make the bomb and indeed the signature of the bomb maker
Mike Granatt
He added that the clues left behind by the bombers, including fingerprints on the rucksacks, might provide investigators with a "forensic goldmine".
This, if reported accurately, could be just the break through the good guys need -- and reminds me of a scene from Henry V:
GLOUCESTER
I hope they will not come upon us now.
KING HENRY V
We are in God's hand, brother, not in theirs.
