An attack that failed.
That's what it was. Just partially exploded devices.
It's being played down really well everywhere. The BBC's pretty calm about it, no need for unnecessary public panic. Tony Blair has urged everyone to go on with their lives as normal. Even the Rector at Imperial College sent an email that was rather different from the one two weeks ago, almost like a memo, alerting us of the news and telling us to go about as normal but otherwise stay where we are. I mean, sure we're shaken, but they are not going to terrify us into living our ordinary lives in ways less ordinary. In fact we're gonna live them extraordinarily! Hell, we're going to keep walking down those streets, into those tube stations and onto those buses.
(Well, not me... my dad's banned me from taking any form of public transport for now. Although I probably might still, just don't tell him!)
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight
