Hiya, came here after nicking your book from my boyfriend. I came up with a new word for these amusing characters earlier, while some friends were chatting about how one should actually go about making a car as dangerous as the news were trying to make the ones near Tiger Tiger sound. These sorts of conversations happen when you're friends with physicists, special effects people and other nutters. Unlike the IRA, this lot aren't terrorists they're nuisanceists. Still, let's hope that they don't grow any more of a clue any time soon... not that it would stop us laughing at them if they did. I'm starting to wonder, though, if maybe at least in the case of London the nuisanceists are on to something. From what I've seen, mostly what the police have to deal with after cordoning an area off is people who are in a hurry and would happily take their chances with getting blown up if it meant they didn't have to take a detour and go to a different Boots or be 5 minutes later getting wherever they're going. Most people I know are more scared of being knocked off a tube platform by some idiot with a big wheely suitcase (or just missing their train because someone is standing on the left of an escalator) than they are of being blown up. Maybe the way to get to Londoners is to keep causing fairly minor disruption and news reports that put our blood pressure up.
