Well that was an interesting night, the whole of Birmingham city centre evacuate. And unfortunately I was in the middle of it all.

Just before they blew the feck out of something

The IRA frequently gave warnings.

Cheers.

I never felt in any danger though. I always go by the logic that if there's a warning then there isn't going to be a bomb.

If a terrorist's only intention was to kill then they wouldn't have a reason to warn anyone.

Apparently about 9 packages were dotted round the centre, crap loads of police and all. But to be honest if I was a terrorist I would of blew them up in the day, instead of killing a load of drunken silly idiots, and Funeral for Friend fans. Me being the latter of course, and the 9 packages info was word of mouth so I don’t really know.

Poopots put out then :P

glad yout both ok though.

I was there with him. What an interesting, tiring and very memorable night. Pretty much overshadowed the gig we went to before it.

'Officers now believe that the item destroyed on the vehicle, in Corporation Street, had not posed a threat.'
