Terrorists - Whats new

Since the formation of the Metropolitan Police, (29 September 1829) many tragic events have taken place. Here is a run down of terrorist acts that occurred within the Metropolitan Police Districts.

It starts in 1867 with the fenians, then Hitler, IRA, some other less known wanabees and finally our new group the Secret Group of al Qaeda's Jihad in Europe.

There has been around 30 or so bombs going off in London since it started and not thats including the Blitz. 100's have been killed in terrorists bombs (Over 40,000 were killed in the 2nd World War) in London but we keep going. Where I live in North London during the 90's Bombs went off at Wood Green, Hampstead, Camden even in 2001 Hendon Post office was bombed twice.

Its not nice knowing that it is happening and will continue to happen. In the future I have to start thinking about moving because I will need a bigger house and can not afford to stay in London (At least in the areas I like :-0) and it's not because of bombs BUT not having the worry that something may happen to my wife and unborn child will be a relief.

I see that they have shot a suspect this morning, shame he could not be taken alive and made to talk about who's and why's. Seems strange why they shot him 5 times when they were on top of him. Guessing he must of been carrying explosives. Might be more news on this from www.bbc.co.uk after this post goes out.

QUICK EDIT - A blog I read, Another Constable, has images of the suspects, Link is on the left hand side

Quick scroll down to the joke for a laugh, all too serious here !!

Baby news - Chosen one is a wriggling but I still aint a feeling

Footy News - Palace started their pre seson tour with a loss in Germany to Czech Republic side FK Teplice with both sides reduced to ten men. We lost 2-1 and the goal was scored by AJ - shock horror a penalty :-)

Todays Joke - This comes a friend at work. I also have been emailed a joke from a blogger so if you have a joke email me and I will credit you when I post it.

A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. The
first is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this, a
huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who is the boss,
he beats it to death with a spade. Realizing his employer won't be best
pleased, he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions
will eat anything.

Moving on to the second job of clearing out the chimpanzee house, he is
attacked by the chimps that pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two
chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to
the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the
corpses into the lion enclosure.

He moves on to the last job, which is to collect honey from the South
American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked and stung by the
bees.
He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what
to do and throws them into the lion's cage - because lions eat anything.

Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another
lion and says, "What's the food like here?"

The other lions say, "Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps
with mushy bees."
