7th was a bit different for me

There I was, all tensed out but it's an odd feeling when you're in an office full of people who see the horror but aren't really connected - a bit like you would have been on September 11th.

I wasn't surrounded and influenced by the crowd and therefore it felt a bit over-dramatic (don't get me wrong, it deserved drama but everyone was acting as though their children had been killed - a bit like TWTD reacted to the murders, as if they WANTED to be part of it). Where I was it was totally the other way, so I didn't really know how to deal with it. I could either judge the opinion and make a footie in-joke (it was actually a Roy Waller joke) to lighten the atmosphere or make a list of everybody I ever met in London and why I should be more worried than the others (which is how it went really - you can still see it if you changed the message id). I chose the wrong option.

And I still swear to this day we've all done worse but it is the personal circumstances to everyone how they react.

And there are those who just wait for one reaction and are straight on the bandwagon (pants).
