Quotes from the UK

Gakked from witling because these deserve to be shared and they are so damn funny, proving once again that it takes more than a coordinated bomb attack to ruffle the Brits.

Quotes taken from news sources and LJs in response to the bombing:

Thank you so much for sharing these - I really loved this one: "Speaking on behalf of the people of Essex. We are standing by you the peoples of Londonia in these trying times. Mainly because Suffolk won't swap places with us." Bwah! *loves* Much how Texas shows solidarity with Oklahoma, come to think. Arkansas just won't move...

I had an "Is John Lennon dead???" moment in regards to you. I immediately thought, "London! I have friends in London!" And then I kept thinking of you when you hadn't posted your "okay here" yet, even though I kept reminding myself, "She's down south...where it's damp." *hugs you anyway*

"She's down south...where it's damp."

Hee! We had a river flowing down the high street last week when we got whacked by torrential rains out of nowhere. Damn is definitely us right about now. *g*

*hugs you back*

Us Brits really know how to react to a crisis. This quote could be from Giles:

"We took on the Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, the French, William Wallace, the Black Plague, the Roundheads, the Great Fire, Napoleon, the Nazis, and the Blitz, and we're still here. You terrorists are bloody amateurs." - unknown at the moment

Thanks for the quotes! Hilarious and really needed in a situation like this, I think.

I know, me too.

It just proves that you cannot break the British sense of humour. *g*

Thank you! Laughed so hard I damn near broke something!!

I suppose we did manage a truly British reaction to the situation, didn't we? Grumbling at the inconvenience and then getting on with things 'cos we've been through a lot worse. I love this country!

[hugs]

Tea and chocolate cake - the British panacea for everything. *g*

*hugs*

You can bomb us, but you can't stop us laughing at you.
