Under Attack!

Today's funny little commute story...

So, I run a re.. roll through an amber light, at the same time spotting a bus wanting to U-turn onto my two lane road.
He had miles of room to do so, so I thought nothing of continuing through. About 100m down the road near a roundabout I hear an odd siren bleep.
"Ne ne ne ne ne!"
"What the fsck?!" thinks I, assuming cops saw me "roll the amber".
Then there's a computer voice..

"THE BUS IS UNDER ATTACK! PLEASE DIAL 999"
"THE BUS IS UNDER ATTACK! PLEASE DIAL 999"
"THE BUS IS UNDER ATTACK! PLEASE DIAL 999"

I turn around to see the bus behind me - its driver seems to be unaware his 'bus was under attack'.
I was grinning and people near Ealing Broadway were all looking at the commotion. Bus driver must've bumped the "Terrorist on board" switch or something? :)

The onboard computer is clearly trying to usurp the driver - it's all going 2001 (6 years late).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
