So dark all over London....

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.

Fricking smoke cloud from the oil plant explosion has just reached London..

Weirdness, one half of the sky looks like its night, the other daylight/sunset..

It's awesome for all the wrong reasons... :eek:

I think it'll be a bit like the tube bombings..

minor injuries to begin with then the real extent becomes true..

There seems to be a penchant for disinformation in this country these days..

I mean for about two hours after the tube bombings it was all "electrical accident/minor injuries/small bomb"..

Fact is, four incidents on the tube at the same time is pretty clear cut case..

Worst of it was, my work didn't even tell us about it until about 2pm in an email.. despite the fact we're based right in the City...

Where in Holland, probably somewhere coastal... In Belgium I couldn't :lol:

Has the smoke cleared up a bit by now by the way? I heard they're tracking the smoke with airplanes and see if it's really poisonous at the moment?

My sister and her husband flew over the fire on their way to Brisol Airport. It was a spectacular view apparently. I do wonder what the hell caused it though.
