In the news

Huh. That explains all the police on the corner all afternoon. We're * just * outside the evacuation zone.

Over inflate old inner tubes, go on.

Exactly. It's a freaking four story house, the bomb would have crashed through and ended up in the basement.

You made it sound like it's the only bomb that area have received.

I don't think it's as clear cut as we make it out to be, the area must have been a wreck at the time, and it's not abnormal to miss an unexploded WW2 bomb in London.

I'd likely give myself the heart attack. Fuck that.

I'd be disappointed if I paid for a survey and they missed the 500 pound bomb.

"He explained there was an unexploded WW2 bomb behind our house found under some building renovations."

"Building renovations". "Digging out the basement for a subterranean swimming pool and cinema", more like.

Removing a WW2 bomb is probably the best excuse to proceed without planning permission I have seen yet.

This interrupted my cycle home. Just outside the zone but I'm staying at my lovely new girlfriend's flat just in case. Not for any other reason obvs. :-)

Has this been defused yet ?

Right, so own up--which one of you is Celeste Luminary?

This explains the traffic earlier

"I grabbed my keys and we had to walk several blocks away heading east. I'm still in my pyjamas - heaven forbid. I've got my nails done though as I had a show last night. I'm slightly peckish and sitting outside with no purse."

a handsome woman indeed

Exactly how we coped 70 years ago, makes you proud, sniff.

"At around 12:30pm I was reclining on the couch. Next thing - bashing on the door."

Euph overload

*head explodes*

should have kept out of the exclusion zone

It's a good job that what I wrote in a certain happy thread happened when it did, cos now I've got somewhere to sleep that isn't at risk of being blown up.

I have a strong feeling that two separate news stories are being confused here.
