Weird Week

Its been a really weird week here in London this week.  Makes me really go hmmm thinking about what is going to happen when the Olympics get here.  And what I mean by that is...there is so much crazy stuff that happens on what is just an ordinary day here in London, there is no telling what things will be like with the whole world looking on.  I am going to give a little timeline of things that have happened.  The links are all to the same newspaper, so its not like I'm just picking the crazy stories, this shit really happens.  The news is so dramatic you would think the world was coming to an end.

A couple of weeks ago they essentially banned the use of water for anything other than about drinking.  Banning hoses and fountains for 6 months seemed  like overly harsh.

Fountains turned off in Trafalgar Square

Then just as the water ban had settled in......

A month's worth of rain in 3 days

And it was proper rain, not the normal sprinkles, full on American thunderstorms.  Supposed to be the wettest April since 2000.....but still hosepipe ban in place.  Then things get really weird.....

Tube hits tunnel

I don't even know how this is possible.  I mean its on rails how do you run into the tunnel?  London nearly screeched to a halt.  What was supposed to be a 30 min trip from my office to the train station took near on an hour and a half.

And after all of that

Evacuations for bomb threat

No telling what tomorrow has in store.
