    Shouldn't you be wandering round the streets with a baseball bat ready for these little bastards.

    "Taking cocaine makes users feel on top of the world. Its effect is like the stimulant ‘amphetamines’ (speed) but is stronger and doesn't last as long. People taking it feel wide-awake, confident and on top of their game."


    "Cocaine is a stimulant, so it can raise the body’s temperature, make the heart beat faster and stave off feelings of hunger."

    "The effects of crack smoking are virtually immediate, peaking for about two minutes and lasting for only about 10 minutes. For snorted coke there is a slower time to peak but the effects still don’t last that long (around 20-30 minutes)."

    What are the shopkeepers going to do with the residents? Sell 'em into slavery?

    It's complete chaos here in Clerkenwell. There's bits everywhere, nothing works, I honestly don't see how such extensive damage can be repaired

    I might revert back to the version in SVN and start this refactoring again now I've worked out how not to do it

    It's the one the government was using in an attempt to maintain their state of denial and stay on holiday

    That would be following the London Banker Ejaculation of 2008.

    Reminds of the Kula Shaker S.O.S. By kula shaker lyrics, cough:

    It's 2 o'clock
    Blood transfusion, revolution, satellites on Mars
    Man became the spawn of Satan, driving 'round in cars
    I read the news but the news didn't fascinate
    I stayed at home, watched the media ejaculate
    This is the age of 'Decay' and 'Hypocrisy'
    Sometimes I feel like the world isn't ready for me
    Every time I turn, a microscopic worm is telling me, he's it
    Dressed in the robes of cosmic ego, crawling 'round in [Incomprehensible]
    I read the news but the news didn't fascinate
    I stayed at home, watched the media ejaculate
    This is the age of 'Decay' and 'Hypocrisy'
    Sometimes I feel like the world isn't ready for me

    One of the few times I agree with Churchill, apart from it's thievery.

    You could start calling these "New Labour's" cuts.
