Explosive device found in Haymarket. The news media would've had a field day if that happened during the 68 rudder-less minutes, hm? (Reminds me of West Wing.) Right now there is absolutely no info on this device but BBC News is doing its very best to spend a lot of time talking about it. I think quite soon they'll run out of ideas and start interviewing people and trees and dogs for their opinion.

(I don't live near there, FYI. But that's an extremely busy and touristy area. China Town is also nearby.)

It seemed like a couple wanted to swindle reward money out of the parents of the girl who disappeared in Portugal. I was going to say "how heartless can people get?" but then if you look at the news everday... there is no limit to heartlessness.

To be honest, I think the chance of Alan Johnston coming back alive is much higher than the chance for this girl.

Showed my rikkai_exchange fic to giving_ground last night when I was suddenly struck down by the fear of being told it's no good and having to rewrite, the way it happened in their_white_day. It seems like I'm safe... though I think the fic still needs something, I just have to figure out what that something is. ("More sex!" a certain member of Rikkai shouts.)

It also needs a title. This is gonna be fun...

Yeah, the BBC are pretty good at talking themselves to death on little to no information. XD;;

The thing about the girl... yeah. I could make some very cynical comments but we've talked about this before anyway.

*wanders off to pack and also to print your fic out for going over on the train~* (Will be back in London this afternoon, I suppose. Just wandering into the station whenever my brother surfaces and feels like driving me there. XD)

There is a lot more on the site now (compared with 2 paragraphs earlier). But man, sometimes I wonder if BBC is turning into the TV version of The Sun.

Yay~ I made some corrections on some bad wording/sentences/the insect thing/formatting errors due to bad C&P, last night, but no other changes as of yet...

Sadly I'd have to agree with you about Madeleine McCann. It's that 24 hour thing they always talk about and with so much publicity it's hard to believe her abductor/s would have kept her alive. :-( I am crossing my fingers for Alan Johnston though.
