Reports are flooding in (actually it was in the Times today) that the area around the office where I work was closed down for three hours on Monday as police investigated a terror alert.
(un)fortunately for all concerned the "terror alert" was caused by a chef who overcooked nine pounds of chilis at the local Thai Kitchen.
It's all a bit embarrassing in the week when the police are in the spotlight over the fatal shooting of the Brazilian guy in a tube station who may, or may not, have been running from police as he was, or maybe wasn't an illegal immigrant ... (not to all - running away from armed police is very, very, very silly)
Anyways, no chillis were shot and killed in Monday's incident, which is the important thing.
*** NEWSFLASH *** Diana inquest opens, apparently she's still dead and is still believed to have been involved in a car crash. In Paris. Ten bloody years ago ... Also, she wasn't pregnant with Elvis' baby, though that bloke who owns the overly-expensive department store will probably disagree ...
