How utterly terrifying for the people in those neighbourhoods knowing that there's an absolute lunatic with explosives at large. I need to go to bed but I'm glued to the news.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22195495 Not a good week for the USA.

Relieved. We got the school place that we wanted for September

Unfortunately there's some Twitter attention seekers posting pics of children in running gear (I've seen it with a girl and a boy) saying that the child themselves had just finished the marathon and were running for Sandy Hook elementary school when they were killed. It's being re-tweeted like mad despite the fact that 8 year olds arent allowed to run the marathon and that no runners themselves were injured.

It's Chico Time??

Sounds exactly like a Kay Burley interview.

Hard to believe there's only been 2 fatalities though considering the density of people in the area and the fact that one of the bombs went off on the pavement.

Aye, that.

Police commissioner bloke has said there appears to be several bags or packages that look to have been dropped around the city which are all now being treated as suspicious. Another explosion (Not a controlled one) has happened at JFK library and one controlled explosion at the Lennox hotel (I think)

This is all very surreal - I know Boston pretty well after spending a month there with family before I went to Uni. Been in touch with family there in the last hour and they're being told of 2 friends with injuries but not apparently serious.

The blood on the street man

"Many fatalities being reported" Jesus man

Thought it needed it's own thread. Horrendous scenes live at the moment.. Thoughts are with everyone involved.

Yes but you work in a.........well, you know! One of them places where you make THAT STUFF!

What a sweetheart

Oh dear Hope she's okay. Do they know why she blacked out?

Good man! I'm contemplating stealing one of the bairns Easter eggs from the cupboard...

How was your day?

I shall be having words with you, young man

Don't know if anyone watches trashy reality TV but my ex bro-in-law is on The Voice tomorrow night - BBC1 at 6.45pm. He's the uncle of Ryan Thomas who was in Corrie and is on the trailers for this weeks show. No idea if anyone turns around for him cos he won't tell anyone but he's class, an amazing singer/songwriter/guitar player and really deserves a break.

You asking what's the best karaoke machine on the market doesn't belong in the Hobbies thread And no-one needs the mental image of you in the bath!!

Isn't that exactly what happened the last time Meatloaf played Newcastle? Except that he actually walked off and didn't come back? There should have been a lesson learned from that!

CT, how bored are you to resurrect a 7 year old thread?! Shouldn't you be spending time with your wife and children instead of trawling back through hundreds of pages on here??

Seen it done (not me btw!)

That would be right! Just had a text and he's in recovery. The only 2 perks of our job is that if you need surgery you can choose the surgeon and they'll put you first on the list!
