Panic on the streets of London

[grimpixie]

– Panic gripped the streets of London this morning when patches of sky took on an unusual blue colour and a ball of fire appeared above the city. The phenomenon, known as ‘The Sun’ and commonly found in Mediterranean countries, unleashed a terrifying heat and brightness upon the capital, causing many pedestrians to take off their hats and scarves, while motorists were able to turn both their headlights and wipers off. Tony Blair urged people to be calm and return to work as normal stating: “We’ve seen this sort of thing before”, he said, “but it never lasts.” There are forecasts that ‘The Sun’ could be seen throughout the weekend but a spokesman for No.10 said, “I wouldn’t hold my breath”.

now I have the song stuck in my head.

[sub]hang the DJ hang the DJ…[/sub]

[Tansu]

“could life ever be sane again
On the grim side streets that you slip down”

[TwistofFate]

Burn Down the Disco!

Hang the blessed DJ!
because the music they constantly play,
it says nothing about me or my life

[Crusoe]

The sun? Now there’s a light that never goes out.

[Ferrous]

Sounds like Portland in the winter.

“What’s that big bright thing in the sky?”

[Tansu]

Nice one, Crusoe.

[Rasa]

Crusoe, will you take me out tonight, where there’s music and there’s people and they’re young and alive?

[Melandry]

Funny- I sent this to my parents, who are moving to Cheltenham in August. Every time they’ve been over (to look for a flat, etc.) the only thing they talk about when they get back is the rain.

[Crusoe]

Tansu, it was really nothing.

It’s this Bernard Quatermass character, I’m telling you.

What Rasa asked of Crusoe at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed. “Oh, you’ve been in the house too long,” she said, and heeeee naturally fled.
