To be fair the latest batch of terrorists do seem to be a bit sub par. Coming out with only minor injuries has got to be pretty poor for a suicide bomber and setting yourself on fire in an Airport isn't exactly the epitome of terror attacks.

The guy lived just down the road from me, and I was around the area in town where they arrested 2 people in a cafe - only I was there 30min before the arrests took place. Doh 
Did get a photo of the police cordoning off the uni with a couple of riot vans and what not though

You just can't get the staff these days...
Hmmm maybe all these attacks are staged by the government to way lay our fear of terrorists, and make us believe they are all incompetent boobs!
I think most of us here would approve of boobs, whether "incompetent" or otherwise. Hell, I don't expect much from a boob; competence isn't high on my list of criteria. Just a nice matching pair of decent proportions, that's fine with me.

Well the prices in Giraffe are a bit higher than most places but a quiet word would have been a better way of getting your point across rather than bombing the place
My office is about a 20 second walk away, didn't hear any bangs just the sirens afterwards.
Masses of police (lots with guns too) and fire dept there, first they wouldn't let us out the building. Then they said we had to evacuate, so they kept us outside at the far end of the road, I'd have felt safer (if I'd actually felt in any danger that is) staying inside thankyou very much, but I guess they know best seeing as it's their job!
Then they moved us into the car park at the end of the road, then said we could go through the car park out onto Paris street if we wanted to leave. If I hadn't lost my house key somewhere I'd have had a nice early afternoon home, I can't remember if I left it on my desk when leaving or if it might have fallen out somewhere
Of course didn't realise this till I got home, went all the way back up there but they still weren't letting us in the area, just heard the barriers are now down though. They also just confirmed that apparently there was a second device that has now been 'made safe'.
heh you must work about 5 seconds from me.
I'm in the building that the carpark goes around
Surely blowing yourself up in Plymouth would have been far easier and quicker...
In Plymouth, people running around with blood on their faces and damaging buildings are ten a penny.

lol, the building to right of the archway as you go into the carpark? Bugging me now I can picture the sign but can't remember what the business there is called :/
We've got some people in Manor Court to the right of there plus one of the larger offices opposite.
*edit* remembered, the Sitel office?

Haha, yeah I suppose. I wouldn't know though as I lonly go to the good(ish) parts of Plymouth (read Student places...).

ROFL.... You're joking right? You think the predominately student populated areas are the good-ish bits? Do you really think Mutley, north hill, greenbank etc are nice?

Yep that's the one
Better than most of the rest of Central(ish) Plymouth, because there are very few locals.

I'm not a local, I came down as a student and stayed, moving out of the crappy student areas

I think the bomber took the whole Plymouth Vs Exeter shopping argument a bit to far!
