Seventh of the Seventh

We have come so quickly around to the first anniversary of the 7/7 bombs in London.

I want to record an apparently trivial thing that happened that day: I got my first inkling that something was wrong when Michael from Bangalore popped up in Microsoft Messenger checking that I was OK.

He, in India, had heard of the outgrage before I was aware of it in SW19.

One world.


.... which reminds me .....

Back in the Eighties - and certainly before Achtung Baby, Thump the Clouds tried to write the ultimate U2 song for a bet. This was in the days of the more overtly religious U2, and what we came up with was:

One man come
One man come

Twelve men come
Twelve men come

Children come
Children come

Kingdom come
Kingdom come

One way
One way

One Word
One Word

One day
One day

One world
One world

Our virtual Bono certainly came up with goods there in a way that the real one hasn't matched for a while.
