Thoughts go out to our friends in London

Thursday, July 7, 2005 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

In case you're not aware.... 6-plus terrorist bombs were detonated in London today....coinciding with the G8.

Many casualties.

They're in our thoughts.

We will certainly be there to help eliminate the cowardly dogs who did this


I have to correct Lantec. Dogs require provocation to attack. Dogs attack only when necessary.


Perhaps he should have phrased it as "Rabid Dogs"...Even then it gives rabid dogs a bad name. The great nation of England will, as always, come through this with the grace and dignity she has always shown.

I was in London in September '73 ....and had to pass the billboards outside the tube stations warning to look out for suspicious packages....[IRA] ... following bombings way back then.

Nothing much changes, does it?  32 years later and I'm now 50 rather than 18 [I turned 19 while in London...still can't remember the pub-crawl]...and more terrorism.

Oz is determining whether to send the SAS back into Afghanastan shortly...so again the Land Downunder will be viewed as a target.....probably not a clever idea to party on in Bali for a while.

One of the poor sods who was exitting Kings Cross as the bomb went off....he commented via phone....he'd also just exitted the Sari Club in Bali...just as that one went off.  It's probably a good time for him to just stay at home....

Please accept my heart felt condolences .......... I find myself lacking the proper words to express my feelings about this. Suffice it to say I am quite angry. If I could, I would personally strangle the bastards that did this.

This senseless and despicable act goes to show these mongrels are the lowest form of life. I am not only saddened at the injuries and needeless loss of life, but infuriated at perpetrators inhumanity to mankind. May each and every one of them draw their last breath, sooner and not later.

As an ex-pat Brit, I'm more than touched by this tragic event as I have friends and relatives who still live there. Hopefully none of them have been harmed, and my condolences to all those who have been needlessly affected

At any one time about 300,000 Aussies are in England..... that's about 1 in every 60 of our population.  You probably can't get much closer 'ties' than that....

I have relatives in England. I called them and they said that they were all fine....however that very morning they were going to go into London but had to cancel. Anyway Cousin Burke said that as usual the British would all just .......carry on. Amazing....carry on.

....Another sad day for civilised human beings.

My thoughts go out to you, London [& all of England]. A tragic waste of [innocent] human life has occurred once again.

Justice will hopefully be swift!

I live about 15 miles south of London.
Many thanks to you all for your kind words.
Terrorists will not win.
We shall prevail!

Sad day for the whole world. I find it tragic that innocent people are hurt to make political statements. Actions like these have no solid excusses. Terrorism is unorthodox way to fight, yet the only way possible for the ones that have not the means to fight in open battle ground. It's plain insanity at final analysis. My deepest sympathies to all citizens who've suffered.
