7/7

Sticks with me too - it was my last day at work in central London before I left to come to Oz.
I would normally have been on the tube at Kings Cross to get to Oxford Circus at that exact time due to my train in from Huntingdon. However on that day I drove in to return my company car and witnessed all the emergency services going haywire as I drove along Embankment.
1 day earlier and things may have been significantly different.
As for Isgraham -

I suppose you all know that the bombers relatives in Pakistan had a celebration.
"Relatives of Shehzad Tanweer, who is buried there, staged the feast to 'celebrate his life' and 'remember him as a martyr' on the third anniversary of the terror attacks which killed 52 people and injured many more"

I was also working in London on that day and I found it to be one of the most exciting days I have ever lived through with the exception of 9/11 which was better because we were all told to get out of the City incase of an attack so we went to the pub to watch the buildings fall.

Exciting??? Did you feel no sense of horror at all? Compassion??

7/7, 9/11 etc they were all so awful. People caught up in it, or not, by a twist of fate. Sadness for the abrupt end to many lives, and their famlies grief. Such admiration for the way people cope in the face of adversity, and go on with such memories, and disabilities to enrich their own life, and the lives of others..

Im sure if it were his wife/kids caught up in that he would be singing a different tune. Or perhaps he is such a friend of Mrs Palm and her five chunky daughters, that he doesnt have anyone that loves him enough or to cry over him should anything happen to him, resulting him being totally unable to comprehend tragedy and the consequences of a disaster.
He is probably quietly tugging at himself as we type to see if he is still in the real world.

Always will remember 7th July 2005 as a truly awful, day. Thankfully everybody I knew went unharmed but two people from our village weren't. A mum of 2 and other man didn't make it home.
It was my youngests' 2nd Birthday and the day just 'stopped!'
Everybody was so anxious about loved ones.
I was very lucky not to have been caught in the Harrods bomb, just left there, Harrods - shopping, and was in Harvey Nics when it went off. An awful memory, complete chaos but thank god its just a memory.
As for Isgraham - get lost!

The day is etched in my mind and I always change my avatar on that day for that one day.
