Hope one and all are ok. I know how you feel Mad

During the H.S.B.C attack in Istanbul I went mad with worry. The first report was of a high rise bank office in the Levent area being attacked, my wife works in the Yapi Kredi tower in Levent within walking distance to the HSCB building. I had no way of reaching her and it was good two hours later I found out she was being held in her office. They had to stay in for four hours before the cops lead them away.
God help all of you in the U.K today our thoughts are with you.

Yes.. it looks like the little minded evil cowards are at it again. Too bad Raid can't make a spray, or trap, to catch these maggots and exterminate them and do the rest of the world a good deed.

latest report is 37 dead, with more critically injured not expected to last. Miraculously, only two people died on the packed London double decker bus (see the photos of what's left.) The bus blew up directly outside the British Medical Association, where there was, by chance, a meeting of specialists in emergency care going on, and that saved a lot of lives. there's some informed speculation going on that the two who died were the bombers themselves, on their way to plant the bomb on another underground train.

I too hope that anyone with friends or family there are all well.

I lost a dear family friend in the Istanbul bombings and my thoughts are with the people of London.
