Yikes.

Ah crap, one of the few bits of London I actually like.

Holy shiat.

nasty looking fire alright.

Appliances = Fire trucks? Silly Brits.

One of my favorite London places too, from years ago.

/Pray they get it under control without any injuries and fatalities.

Londons burning, londons burning FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE

Firefighters were alerted at about 7.20pm on Saturday to the blaze which has reportedly consumed part of the Hawley Arms, a popular Camden pub which is frequented by celebrities including singer Amy Winehouse.

Bloody hell, that crackhead manages to work herself into every UK news story.

I'm ever so sad!

Oh noes! Teh terror!

damn.

god save the queen!

let that shiathole burn.

hopefully it will spread all the way to brixton in the south!

This city needs to be re-booted.

1666 called, wants their headlines back.

Holy crap, that's the first place (well, after the hotel) we went when we visited London a couple of years ago.

Approve...or not.

Dr. C. Beavers: god save the queen!

her fascist regime!

Thank God there's a video so I can watch London burning. I really want to see that.

//farked up

I bought my first bootleg Floyd album there.

What a shame...

Punk thread!

I live in Camden, so I am getting a big kick out of these replies.


I'm perfectly fine, by the way. I live in Mornington Crescent, far enough from the fire so that the only effect I have noticed is the constant sound of sirens in the background. Not terribly different from any other night, come to think of it.

London's Burning

His eyes reflect the golden fire, his pupils burning bright
As he turns away they feel a sudden, crying urge to fight
Big Old Ben has run away, they always thought it might
London's Burning
London's Burning

The chapels down in Kensington are bursting into flames
The children of the neighbourhood are dancing, gone insane
They hug their parent's knees and try to cry away the shame
London's Burning
London's Burning

Members of the royalty rush in to see the Queen
She's rushed off to a bunker, told to wait and not to scream
But all of London's gone aflame, her bunker traps her here
London's Burning
London's Burning

Teenage gangs are on the prowl, they go from place to place
They need no names or calls or shouts, don't need know their race
Just know that all who wear a hood are filled to burst with rage
London's Burning
London's Burning



2 weeks on, the smoke has gone and rebels rule the streets
No-one walks the road at all for fear of who they'll meet
The dead are marked with crosses red and hid with pale sheets
London's Burning
London's Burning

2 more weeks, rotting flesh is all that you can smell
Water's got infected, and the food's all gone as well
The only people left, they wander in a living hell
London's Burning

Another place named Camden reduced to a rubble heap.

But do you use the 17th revised Penrose rules?

Well, it won't take much detective work to figure out how the fire started.

I hate been beaten to the punch.

The fire was started by some young adults who were trying to escape from the undead.

What about the goths? Are the goths safe?

The Mods are fleeing on their Vespas even as we speak.

Crap. Where will the impoverished of London get their bongs now?

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down
My fair lady

*gasp* Noooo!

We stayed in a crappy hostel in the area and LOVED Camden Market. I would love to live in that area of town, creepy people and druggies and all.

/have that here anyway, but without the awesome shops & accents

/Thomas Farynor says "It wasn't me!"

why can't this be in detroit where no one will care?

Gordon Bennett: I live in Mornington Crescent

You got there before I was able to invoke the Knightsbridge Gambit en passant via Oxford Circus.

Bloddy 'ell.

100 Watt Walrus: /Thomas Farynor says "It wasn't me!"

my house is on that map!

Unavailable for comment.

As a gothic angolophile, I will be holding a candlelight vigil for the morbid duds lost in the blaze.

My hypothesis is that a vampire hunter's torching got out of hand.

/yes there are vampires, I read it in a documentary by Whitewolf.

I was there years ago. Its really too bad. Hopefully no-one was hurt.

Only crap guys. IS OMARION OK???

That place could use a bit of a clean up.

I bought my favourite hat in Camden. I'm wearing it now in remembrance of its fallen brothers.

Why do the terrorists hate Amy?

Are their reasons any different from ours?

Goddammit. First the Cutty Sark and now my favourite, overpriced flea market. :(

You've got red on you.

Christopher Wren approves.

I generally use Hooper's mainline variation. I know some players are critical of it, as it encourages broad verticals across interzonal boundary lines, forcing more unexpected lateral shunts than some prefer, but I find it makes for a lively game that calls for a fair bit of tactical improvisation to avoid loops, and really brings the Waterloo and City line into play when two or more players are in spoon.

fetch the engines?
