Yesterday this made me smile and lifted my heart. (P.S.: pearlette is the author of the wonderful tale Star of the Sea, one of the very first FF's I ever translated. If you didn't read it yet, you really should).
Great thread going on there! The Brits are such wonderful people - their sense of humour seems to be endless.
"On days like this, the music radio stations play sad music - if they play any music at all. I turned on the radio in the bathroom when I was taking my shower just now, and they were playing "One" by U2. HAVEN'T WE SUFFERED ENOUGH?"
Thanks for sharing the link - this is my favorite quote of the day I guess "We took on the Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, the French, William Wallace, the Black Plague, the Roundheads, the Great Fire, Napoleon, the Nazis, and the Blitz, and we're still here. You terrorists are bloody amateurs."
I was far more worried about the bombs than anyone I know who was in London. It took me all day to get through to my dad, and all he talked about when he finally rang was how packed the trains were! Like a lot of people, he's seen it before - he was nearby when an IRA bomb went off in his favourite pub in Guildford (my home town) back in the 70's.
