::HUGE HUGS:: hope all who might be in the area of affect are okay in London.

[livejournal.com profile] lithium_doll posts some of the better quotes surrounding the incident. My fave is this one:

"Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea" I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? TEA DAMMIT! And if it's really serious, they may bring out the coffee. The Americans have their alert raised to red, we break out the coffee. That's for situations more serious than this of course. Like another England penalty shoot-out." - [livejournal.com profile] jslayeruk

[re:vidding]

t-minus 4 days. (and counting.)

Bond (James Bond) is an annoying fellow, is he not?

He is also very often scantily clad.

This must be taken advantage of.

But how?

My sister has been fairly spaztic since she found out about London (she studied abroad there for a year). 0.o

I thank you for the "better quotes around the incident." It cheered me up, if not my sister.

Ah, yes. There's one shot in episode 1 of Numb3rs of Don coming out of the shower. I have no idea how to fit it in the vid but dude. You do not see Don with that little clothing very often. To loosely quote [livejournal.com profile] seperis (though she was talking about Lex when she said this): Don half naked is a lot more naked than most people naked. I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of times I've seen more than his wrists.

Heh, true. Bond is kind of a ho.

And by kind of, I mean really a lot.

Oh my yes, tea. There's an icon going the rounds of LJ that reads "the only civilised response to terrorism is a cup of tea", or something like that. You know what? This morning, the tubes and 'buses are running and people are using them. Last night, when the 'buses started up again, there were queues of people waiting for them. Terrorists? Bombs? Hah!
