2 days ?

they need them in 2 hours.......

yes but this has been going on for what 3 days? so yeah that was the point.

air lift them in wouldn't take that long heck could drive them over on a ferry in under a day.

Just ordered a baseball bat online.

For protection or are you thinking of doing some shopping?

So some good has come out of all this, then.

 

[Ahleckz]

the uk government could have got them here in under 2 days if they'd wanted to.






that's kinda the whole point of them to drive them back from certain areas.

All it'll do is **** people off and move them away from areas. They'll then likely congregate in other areas and be of greater number and greater concern. Oh, and they'll be ****ed off as well.
Water cannon isn't the answer, no one here has even said how it'll help.

I had considered this for Glasgow, a new 27" monitor would go well with my 2500k rig

I need a 24" monitor

Helicopter has been circling my area for about 20 minutes - Loud enough that it could be in my back garden

Of course it was for self interest. More than half of the Brick Lane/Whitechapel shops/restaurants sell bootleg/grey imports. There would have been no insurance payouts for them so they had to take it up to defend their livelihoods. No one is willing to share pictures/or putting them up because of fear of reprisals from the thugs/police for wielding weapons.

Really? Ever considered that these are just simply close-knit communities who got together to protect themselves. Asians (brown + chinese) tend to be like that, they stick together at times like this, and get very righteous about it too.

And to think... all of this kicked off because of a rule change in the PC Games forum...

Are you going to fend people of with the invoice while you wait for it to be delivered?

No but they can't steal it if it's not here yet, then when it all dies down I can hit some homeruns.

 

[Robbo]

yup, sums it up. people go on about religion being this and that but at least it teaches you morals and gives you laws to stop **** like this happening.

society has lost all value, girls are encouraged to be *****, men told to be spineless cowards and not saying the truth in fear of offending anyone.

Yeah.

"Rioting is wrong! Blow people up instead!"

 

[drunkenmaster]

Just had several groups of, 5-15 walk down our road being pretty loud, again hopefully on their way somewhere else completely. Pretty worrying though.

Also looks like the party shop next to dubvendor.

That's probably where the gas canisters (for balloons) are.

 

[craaaaaig]

Jesus, getting genuinely worried, they were saying things were kicking off in Ealing but, nearer south ealing station I can hear a LOT of sirens now, hopefully just cops heading off to Ealing Broadway but, starting to seem a little close to home now.

What the **** is wrong with people.

I've heard that a lot of Ealing Broadway is on fire, could just be rumours and exaggerations though.
