BTW. They did have to hose bits of people off the front of the BMA building
who 'went through the roof'!

Still - my mum did used to say, "You've got to laugh or you'll cry."

Full of guys who pressed a switch thinking about the 72 or whatever virgins
they were supposed to get in Paradise and got the disappointment of their
lives - or deaths - instead!

Of course, the fact that they can't become martyrs by making war in
civilians hadn't occurred to them. You'd think fundamentalists would at
least know what their own scriptures say, wooden chew?!

Picture the scene:

There they are. Standing there with rucksacks full of stale Acetone Peroxide
on their backs. They press the switch thinking of all those lovely virgins
what I said, and instead of BOOM!! - POP! they get. And instead of being in
Paradise, they find 'emselves standing here like spare pricks at a wedding
in a cloud of smoke with their rucksacks on fire with everybody staring at
them! Then all hell breaks loose.

And it's a damned shame the passengers never caught the one who legged it
out of Warren Street tube. They'd have torn the bugger to bits!
