Going to London

Post Reply New Topic

I am going to see some friends and I am very apprehensive, we have a laugh but I'm teased mercilessly and they don't understand my problems. How do you tell people to stop criticising? I am usually very passive but if the mickey talking gets bad I have a tendency to lose control and get very angry!

July 7 and the terrorist attacks are over. It's not that bad anymore!

Why are you so nervous?

I'm not sure if that's remotely relevant, really.

fresco: If they won't treat you as you treat them (i.e. it's not a 'give as good as you get' thing) and they won't accept you for who you are, tell them to f**k off and get some real friends. 'Friends' like that aren't worth having.

Larsen terrorist attacks are possible over the Christmas period in the capital but I'm not worried about that. Thank you though.

Tequila thanks for your sound advice its made me see sense and I'm far less apprehensive cheers!

More chance of you getting run o'er or having an 'accident' on the way there, to be honest. But that's not sexy enough, is it?

Why are you posting to this forum anyway?

I posted this in the haven because it was something I was quite worried about. I was just apprehensive about mixing with other people.


Tequila yes a traffic accident is far more probable or being struck by lightening!

Do you think 7 is an unlucky number in England?

It could well be Larsen! We'll see what happens after midnight on the 31st December.

larsenjw92286: No. And may it never be. People of this United Kingdom with any backbone will not surrender so easy. Especially to a few deranged Muslims.

What do you think may happen then?

I just figured because of all the terrorist attacks that occurred, 7 is an unlucky number there.

The UK has suffered and lived through terrorism before don't forget with terrorist psychos from Northern Ireland from both sides of the sectarian divide. So it's not a new thing as it was to the Americans.

I don't remember!

How come it never made the news here in the US?

You've never heard of The Troubles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles)? And it was in the news around the world. This only finished about ten years ago. Granted, most of the terrorist attacks took place in Northern Ireland and not in Great Britain but obviously murdering people is very serious, no matter where they come from.

That was in the past, and I was probably too young to remember that time.
