Fantastic bit of scare mongering there.

I heard that a big Lion had escaped from London Zoo and was seen heading toward the FHT for a quick pint.

I don't know why the helicopter was there, but the story IS true.

OHMYGOD!

I prefer the story about the big lion...

Have a quick gin to steady your nerves DM.

The story is true, but it was a few days ago on the 16th.

An inpatient from a secure psychiatric unit absconded from King's while being treated. Obviously, it's not good news and shouldn't have happened, but I really don't think there's any need to be alarmed. His picture has been published in the national press, if you see him use your common sense and don't approach him, but do call the police.

Thank you Annaj, and thank God there is 40% off in Threshers this weekend! I am going straight over to clean them out of their Saint Veran White Burgundy.

[Michael Palaeologus]

No change there then.

I think that the Administrator of the day is bored.

I get fed up with the police telling us that the public should not approach

when some maniac gets out and about amongst us. I think they should be advising us

to get stuck into the bleeder if we fancy our chances and if said maniac gets a little banged-up

then so be it.

It's nanny stateism gone mad, I tell you.

[KalamityKel]

:-| just lay into them for no reason other than being told theyre a loon? hmmmm sounds more like hooliganism *sighs*

[Domitianus]

I find the "ooohs" and "aaahs" and gasps of horror and fear at this chap's escape hilarious! I mean, does anyone really believe for one moment that, had this chap not escaped, there would be no other violent rapists on the streets of South London????? This reaction reminds me a little of the society in Demolition Man where, until Wesley Snipes turned up, there was no-one in the city who would even curse in public. I don't think that the addition of one more convicted offender to the vast swarm of criminality on out city's streets provides any more reason to lock our doors than we had already.

[annaj]

I don't think I was oooh-ing and aaah-ing.

I posted specifically to say that it is true, but not a reason to be alarmed.

That's not too unreasonable is it Domitianus?

[mockney piers]

Ooh, Blimey, I remember this form the other night.

Aah, has he been caught yet?

*sharpens winkles pickers, casts furtive glances*

I was referring, dear Anna, to the "OHMYGOD!" from DM and the "Oh Jesus..." from Madworld. Perhaps I interrupted a prayer meeting but I assumed their comments were in relation to the escaped convict :-)

[KalamityKel]

Lol Dom... I'm not finking prayer meetings... ;-)

[david_carnell]

Bad girl. ;-)

[mockney piers]

It is very unlike Dulwichmum to say OHMYGOD! after all ;)
