News
I was reminded today of a really funny line in the genius programme that is The Day Today...Chris Morris in sombre voice: "Some of the pictures are too distressing to be shown on television. It is only with that in mind that we broadcast them to you now."
Suprisingly, it wasn't the news coverage of the bombings in London today that reminded me of this, it was actually Dermot O'Leary on Big Brother's Little Brother as he said in a sombre and serious voice to the camera "Obviously at times like this talking about the goings on of ten people in the Big Brother house would be pretty trivial, but we're going to do it anyway". Have that, so called Al Quada; you can bomb us, kill us, but we won't let you mess with our telly! VOTE MAXWELL OUT!
Seriously, it is impressive to think that by the time I next visit London (Tuesday) it will be more or less back to normal. Someone elsewhere on the internet noted that at times of adversity, people tend to resort to type, and it is satisfying to see so many people in London deal with today's situation by settling down for a nice cup of tea, or by going to the pub and watching the cricket.
