a bomb in farsley! evacuations!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Unexploded bomb causes evacuation

Several hundred residents have been evacuated from their west Leeds homes after an 6ft long unexploded World War II bomb was discovered.
An Army bomb disposal team from Catterick was called in to deal with the device but had to call for reinforcements from Cambridge.

The area around Coal Hill Lane in Farsley has been closed and many people are spending the night elsewhere.

Police said it could be Friday morning before they can go home.

The device, said to look like a beer barrel, was found on a building site at 1115 BST on Thursday.

Police said the building site was evacuated and a decision was later taken to move the residents.

On Thursday evening people were taking suitcases with them to Stanningley Rugby Club in preparation for spending the night there.

I'm sure Mr Blair or the lovely Mr G W Bush will be heading here shortly to tell us it was the Usual Suspects what did it...

Farsley's well known al quaida cell will be exposed...and all will be well. :roll:

Anyway, anybody looking for a big bang tonight, Farsley could be the place to be. :innocent:

Oh the joy of double entendres... :urff: ;D

It's also s'posed to be six foot long...the bomb that is...

There's a marketing gimmick for some locally brewed beer here somewhere, but I'm fooked if I can see what it is...

Slight case of underbombing - and a tad late too...

@ CtrlAltDelete: i reckon so. would probably feel and hear it if it went off but i think/hope we're far enough away to be safe! :o am suer they'd have evacuated us here to if they were worried - they do seem to be being very cautious about it :lol: thank christ!

Assume so - local news sez police have evacuated people very close by...

It's the first time I can remember a World War 2 bomb being found in Leeds for years...there used to be some big mills or factories just down the road to us so I assume that could be why it was dropped in the first place...this isn't exactly the city centre.

Weird in a way though innit? :?

Heard this on Magic 828 this morning. They said it was in Pudsey. You'd think they'd know the difference. :roll: Luke's mate from school had to sleep in Farsley Rugby Club. They must have had a bit of the Blitz spirit going cos apparently he stank of fags and booze today. :lol:

Hey, if I was digging a great big hole and something went "clang", I don't think I'd be thinking to myself "oh, it'll be all right, I'll just keep digging" :eek: .

No, I would be offski, as fast and as far as my little legs could carry me :lol: Leaving the "bomb/girder" debate to someone else thank you!

Mind you, I wouldn't be thinking "bomb", more like "ooh, it's just like those Quatermass films". But I'd still leg it.
