I've been practicing flute an hour a day in preparation for my orchestra audition, which happened today. I was so nervous and shaky that my tone quality flopped Looks like I'll be bassooning next year in orchestra

fucking bombs in my hometown

fucking bombs in my hometown

I missed that....


Who's bombing whom?
I thought most of the usual suspects had renounced that sort of thing, at least publicly.

[The Epigrammic Poultry]

The Provisional IRA and Official IRA have decommissioned arms, but splinter groups like the Continuity IRA and Real IRA haven't and are still vocally supportive of violence and terrorism. (Correct me if I'm wrong there, I know less about it than I should.) Either way, all it takes is an extremely small handful of stupid cunts to do a lot of damage and threaten a lot of people.

They  have been very active in the past several months and especially as the Queen of England was in Ireland

Bomb was in a busy street on a Saturday at the busiest time.
If they hadn't got the street cleared this could have been nasty.

I heard about that today, and I'm very glad that no one got hurt. But they said the reason no one got hurt was cos two men in masks came into shops an hour earlier to say that there was a bomb there. Now, I'm no expert on terrorism, but surely that defeats the point?

Not necessarily....

I mean, if you lived near there, mightn't you think twice about patronising those shops? 
('shoppes'?  Do you actually spell it that way?)

If the intent is to scare people, you don't actually have to kill anyone, as long as you
make it clear you could have.  I would hope someone more level-headed will turn these
guys in before they decide they need to make a more dramatic 'statement'...

Well yeah, I get that they wanted to scare people, and telling them there's a bomb would do that, even without the bomb. But it also said on the news that it was a small one and designed to injure, not to kill.

Violence is all so pointless really.

I've had a really fucking busy and stressful day, and watching the new episode of Doctor Who with a cup of tea was supposed to make everything better. As briefly touched upon in the random thought thread, my flatmate is a cunt who used all of our bandwidth downloading horrible music and other miscellaneous shit, so I had to go to the library at 3am to load the video online. It took over an hour, then I came home, got into bed, started watching it, and despite having loaded the full way, it decided to randomly cut out 19 minutes in. It's too late to go back now, I was enjoying it, and I really wanted to know what was going to happen

Matt Smith turned to the camera, breaking the fourth wall and said, "Astica! You're bloody amazing. Come love me." Too bad you missed it

Actually they chucked a holdall with the bomb in it into the bank and said hello the bag has a bomb get out etc. Cops were called - area was cleared in an hour. now throwing a bag with a bomb surely can't be very safe?
Basically they want to target non-Irish Banks etc scare people away from Abbey National/Santander etc. Though I think Santander is a Spanish bank. Hence the name
