Hello BigV

Hello & OK are trashy "celeb" mags for people with so little going on in their own lives that they have to waste them watching other peoples'!!!


I am indeed indeed in London - thankyou for your concern. Yet more bomb alerts & a palpable sense of fear on the Tube this morning. After years of IRA bombs, as Londoners we were relatively OK about 7/7, partly because we thought we'd had our attack after NY & Madrid, but there's a definite sense that we're in for the longhaul now.

The police did shoot a suspected bomber this morning, which was a bit shocking, so soon after yesterday's attacks!

Is this the same guy that they say wasn't one of the bombers? I read this on the news yesterday. Jean Charles de Menezes, the 27 year old Brazilian.

Was it necessary to shoot him 5 times after they pinned him? (Bear with me, it's not an angry question, I was just wondering) I could see it if they thought he would have pulled a trigger while still alive. Plus, he ran. If he was innocent, why did he run? I read that the police will use deadly force in order to save lives. If I were the cops there, I probably would have reacted the same. He was wearing suspicious clothing, he ran into the subway, and the threats and bombings going on in London and places elsewhere in the world.

What a horrible age we live in. I only hope it gets better.
