jumpjunkie2004 0 #1 May 5, 2005 From the Washington Post: Quote 2 Small Bombs Explode Outside British Consulate in New York No Injuries and Little Damage Reported By Justin Glanville Associated Press Thursday, May 5, 2005; 5:43 AM NEW YORK -- Two small makeshift grenades exploded outside the British Consulate early Thursday, causing slight damage to the building but injuring no one, officials said. The blasts occurred at 3:50 a.m. and originated inside a cement flower box outside the consulate in midtown Manhattan, said police department spokesman Noel Waters. In Britain, voters were voting in national elections, a heated race in which Prime Minister Tony Blair's fight for a third term could be hampered by public anger over the Iraq war. It was not known whether the explosions were related to the elections. After piecing together the shrapnel, police determined the devices were toy grenades that had been filled with gunpowder. Officers estimated that one was the size of a pineapple; the other the size of a lemon. The blasts shattered a panel of glass in the building's front door and ripped a one-foot chunk from the planter. The department's bomb squad was at the scene and streets were closed in the area. The building has retail shops on the lower level.Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,594 #4 May 5, 2005 Saw Micheal Howard being interviewed by Jon Snow yesterday, the guy was shaking like a leaf! Weird about the bombs though, at 3:50AM it sounds like they weren't aiming to hurt anyone, wonder what the fuck it was about?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Skyrad 0 #5 May 5, 2005 Bombs? Sounds more like large bangers. As for the election its a forgone conclusion. Also one of the most uninsipiring elections ever.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
