As posted on the Tony Blair thread->

Bomba!

Yep, they tried to blow up the Trocadero Arcade last night

EDIT:- Turns out it was a HUGE Nail bomb, 60 litres of petrol, gas canisters and Nails

Update; CNN quote;

The device, consisting of 200 liters of fuel, gas cylinders and nails linked to a triggering mechanism, was found in a car in Haymarket, in the city's busy nightclub and theater district shortly before 2 a.m. (0100 GMT) on Friday.

crazy shit, just read about it in the swedish news.. good thing it didnt go off

Yes Sven, it would have been BIG!

Latest:-
The car was a Mercedes, which points to another ethnic group .

The latest is that the fumes that were spotted coming out of the car were not smoke but actual petrol/gas fumes, from the 60 litres, which I guess must have been coming from open canisters, ready for explosion.

The car is reported to have been driven erratically and crashed into a bin and the driver ran off. The fumes from the petrol/gas would have affected the driver like sniffing glue , so that explains the erratic driving and bin bumping.

EDIT:- But if you take the overwhelming petrol fumes into account and that the driver had to flee or fall unconscious, then the real target was No.10 Downing Street, which of course is straight down the road from the Haymarket.
Would have been a HUGE explosion, with nails.

geez :/

About the meet, I just confirmed all my reservations and I'll indeed be in London from the 9th to the 14th with 2 or 3 friends.

I have no idea however if I'll be able to play at all on those cabs because I played with a keyboard until now, and I just purchased a stick (virtua stick high grade) and can't do a thing with it lol~ But well, doesn't matter much as it's not supposed to be a competition meet ^^

Crazy stuff

Anyway, good to hear that you're in Prome!

Alright, so it was two car bombs. One outside the Trocadero arcade and another nearby. Pure luck that the mobile triggers failed.

I'm being realistic and treating the incidents like the bombs actually went off, like they were supposed to.
The police are seeking 3 men from Birmingham.

Are those cabs fully working now? Back in february they were quite horrible!

Yeah I think it's the right way of thinking too...

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 10:28 am

LUN - I don't know about the state of those Troc Vs City cabs. I'll ask masamune.

EDIT:- Now they've hit Glasgow.

No no! In this country it points to another 2 groups, definitely not the car manufacturers (Germany).

The majority of people who buy Mercedes in the UK are not German

.

Don't worry, I certainly wasn't trying to pass any stigma on German people ...at all!

I was just pointing to another group that happen to prefer Mercedes cars.

I'd never want to upset the wrong people. Just the people who keep trying to blow me up.

Remember that Simpsons episode in which Mr.Burns sells the power plant?

In that episode, Horst (threatingly) said, not wrote:We Germans aren't all smiles und sunshine.

An Attempt At Translation :

Code: Select all

I'll be going down Goodge St tomorrow night to get this rolling. Apparently Ketsui is working again and Mush should be installed. No joy on other boards like Futari Pink Sweets or Pork, but maybe Mulletgeezer will come through like a Trooper.

^Well done PROMETHEUS! That's an almost perfect un-shizzled translation

Then I'm happy that I'll get to play some Mushi ^_^!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 12:42 pm

I spoke with Bob on Friday, expressing my concerns over the removal of the Mush cab. The Mush board is still safely in the arcade back room and I've asked Bob to shove it back in for the Meet. So things will be ok for LUN.

Bob just might put a new vert cab in the arcade...maybe.
He was also receptive to a new shooter being bought for the arcade. I'll try to steer him in the right direction.

That's a nice gesture RGC

. There's no need though, its either a case of the arcade buying futari, pork or pink sweets, or one of the locals putting their own one in (as usual).

Getting a little better with sticks T.T Now at least I know I'll be able to enjoy playing with those.
