Explosions in London

Sheesh Beet, way to try to play Nostradamus after the fact.  Your initial post is one hour after the story you quoted.

No, my initial post in this thread was on 07/07/05, shortly after explosions on that day but two weeks before the latest explosions.

Then, on 07-15-2005 I posted again to suggest that there might well be another attack on London, perhaps even a carbon copy of the last. Fishu expressed some doubt about this, and dismissed the suggestion as "hysteria".

And look what happened - only two weeks after the last London explosions. Had Fishu been around a bit longer, he would know that I am never wrong on this board.

Don't be misled by the time/date on the BBC web page - I think the BBC update it all the time.

And next time, read the whole thread before you slag me off.

I'm starting to suspect you have rather too much knowledge of the timing of these attacks! How did you know this Beetle. Should M.I.(whatever) be informed!)

Keep laughing it makes us who we are!

Check the date Fishu registered here against yours.

Yes, I see that fishu signed up before I did. My choice of words could have been better. I perhaps should have said been around the board "more" rather than "longer". Initial board registration is no indicator of one's level of participation. Do a profile search on a guy called --sd-- - he registered Sept 1999, and has made a total of only 4 posts in that time! Incidentally, --sd-- was an excellent WB trainer and one of my best friends in that game.

Back on topic... The UK Yahoo home page carries a story about the failed bomb attack:

The devices triggered only small blasts on three underground trains and a bus in what appeared to be a failed attempt at a carbon-copy of attacks, blamed on al Qaeda-style Islamist militants, that killed 56 people on July 7.

Note the wording in that report. The attacks are being described as a "carbon copy" of July 7 - the exact words I used on July 15 ^ when predicting a repetition of the awful events of July 7.

Skydancer - good job I'm going on hols for 2 weeks. (I expect TOD to be ready when I get back - lol) Because when I predict something on this board, it happens. I just can't help being right! So best I make myself scarce for a while.
