It's not good, hasn't reached up here yet though. Other than the usual football rubbish, I don't think it's kicked of properly up here since the Meadowell riots when I was pretty young

Nothing at all to do with the riots but "Get Carter" is on ITV4! I only mention it as my knowledge of Newcastle is based soley on that film :D
 
The areas are quite different now too, especially around the river. The car park is gone now too, a shame but it had to go as part of the town redevelopment.

Did you spot the guy in the pub near the beginning with 5 fingers?
 
Morning :( Burning buildings on the tellybox make for a v sad Loseday indeed.

I stayed up too late on here then got woken up by texts asking if I was OK :(
 
Yeah, mine was up watching BBC News 24 and I hd to assure her I was asleep in bed, not rampaging. Actually, I better check what I said as I was asleep, basically :(
 
Just heading off now. Some noise and a fair number of sirens past our place. Brixton seemed quiet by comparison last night but Clapham sounds messy which my commute goes through. Will see how I get on heading to the drag.

Morning all, happy Loseday :)
 
Morning bajjy. Good bus-luck.

I'm going to blame the riots for being late for work. And so it begins.......
 
morning all.

glad to hear people are safe. police telling the public to avoid smithdown road in liverpool, where I used to live so will have to get in touch with mates at some point today :(
 
Going through Brixton was pretty quiet all things considered. Traffic heavier up at Clapham Junction and a bit of mess but not bad. Guess that people are worn out or home watching their new TVs. Bit late for the drag but not really bothered.
 
Morning.

I think I must have left my window unlocked last night, instead of just telling me cuntboss has sent a passive aggressive email to everyone in the office instead :rolleyes:

No casual xenophobia so far though, which is a bonus
 
The mob will crawl in and steal your fuzzy-wuzzy thingies stuck on your monitor!

You have them, don't you? Seem like the type, I must say.

Shit. Am I not going to be able to use these disturbances as a reason for being late to work? :eek:

No riots reported but some phone in on BBC just said there is a clean up operation arranged for various places including Roman Road.
 
a lot of riot talk in the office this morning, but surprisingly intelligent discussion as to why it's happened :confused:

No!! I shall have to watch it again now just to see this.

Not much riot talk here. But then it's not reached Epsom yet!!
 
Only one mention of water cannon and that's the strongest I've heard about what should be done. People mainly blaming police, government and media as to what's happened.
VA and grandma suggesting that rioters should stop smashing up their neighbourhoods and instead concentrate on Parliament :D
