Hey Sal, Firstly, soooo good to see you around here. Secondly, you're right. You just can't take that fighting spirit from us. I know I'm not English, but London feels like home to me, more than Sydney ever did. everyone has been so amazingly positive that there's nothing left to do but continue and be strong. You English really know how to pull it together when you need to! Miss you too. A phonecall may be in order soon.<BR

And he said that while the terrorist attacked London, they failed. Why? They did not terrorize the citizens of London. Offended? Never! That was what I was trying to convey in my post. People have died and that's horrible. It was senseless and against people who aren't doing much more than goin

Hey Shades. Thanks. We're all good and moving on! LW - I'm way ahead of you. I had the afternoon off unexpectedly, and decided to go to the pub as I didn't want to be alone. I ended up at a table of about 10 other people who were in the same boat and I can assure you that we've had a pint or two for you both. I hope Simon's doing OK (did you get through to that friend of yours'?) I'm sure it's like being distant from a relative when t

Thanks Gid. It's horrible and it's tragic but it won't overcome us. London is better than a couple of bombs. Thanks for the thoughts. Suz xxx

It would be disrespectful not to. If I was one of the casualties, I'd want people to be partying in defiance on the street. And so Suz goes and grabs another beer...

Dharma - All my mates live around the Cross and Liverpool St. The pedestrian familiarity of being there makes it all the more pertinent. I know that this was your old stomping ground, and it is understandable that it makes you sad. We all are. Keep your spirits high, my lady. London will go on to live another day! Donna - it is a sad day, but there have been some good things to come from it. I really feel for those that have lost a loved one.

As it should, Para. As it should. There really is an amazing atmosphere here tonight. Some may think that it's disrespectful, but I think that it shows true spirit and heart. Thanks for the comment.

Dear Terrorists, Thank you. While you may have killed some of us, but you haven�t weakened us. I�m sure you�re sitting somewhere feeling smug about your supposed achievements today, but I sincerely hope that wherever you are you can see how the people have responded to the gauntlet you�ve thrown down. You may see the death a

Tears for London Town in Current Events JoeUser Forums

It�s raining in London today. Rain without intent, rain without force, just millions of delicate tears falling effortlessly from the sky lamenting the grotesque horror that has befallen this great city. A double decker bus sits desolately in in Tavistock Square, its roof torn off from the force of the blast. Puddles will be forming in the mangled scraps

Hey Trina. Thanks. Sally is in Manchester, so she's fine. My family is all good as well. Can't contact some of my mates as the mobile networks are fucked, but here's hoping they're OK. Many of them go through Liverpool St which looks like it was the worst hit. Really, horribly scary. Will write an article on it later, me thinks. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts. It really means a lot. Suz xxx

Reply to The Last Christmas in Misc JoeUser Forums

Wow. You could have been describing my family Christmas memories, except there are only three kids, not five. The pudding hanging over the sink in the slightly yellowing muslin cloth. The bon bons with the bad jokes. Bad Australian wrapping paper that attempts to awkwardly incorporate our wildlife into some sort of Christmas scene. This is amazingly well written. Is it autobiographical or fictional? Which ever way, it really move

I'm so sorry to hear about your lose. I can imagine your Grandfather watching his family gathered, laughing and smiling and remembering him with joy and not sadness, being a very happy and peaceful man. He's lucky to have a wonderful family that is prepared to let him go and to celebrate him. I hope you're doing OK. Grief tends to come and go in waves, and you're never sure when the next one's going to hit the shore. Take care of you,

Eve was framed. You know what men are like - they'll eat anything regardless of possible dangers to health or immortality. She just decided to take the wrap as she was so sick of being so bloody cold, as well as being ogled by Adam all the time. So while we're being punished unfairly, the men of the world have Adam to thank for why we're not still wandering around naked. (As an aside, I'm with you on the cramps this week.

Reply to Come Again... in Humor JoeUser Forums

Aw man! I so wish I was a boy sometimes. Even in these enlightened times masturbation tends to be something girls come to reasonably late in their teens - if not their early 20's. I guess there's still some lag from the overly religious days that touching yourself is in someway dirty - even if (what with radically dropping age of virginity loss) many other people may be touching you already. I'm trying to remember when my first orgasm was. I t

Thanks Donna. Not so sure about looking great though, I am sitting on a canon after all... Hey Maso. Yeah, I like that shot of the Eiffel Tower as well. I tend to need to stand directly below something really huge to take in exactly how large it is. Admiring from a view isn't really my thing. Hey Shovel. Thanks! Suz xxx
