I meant I was actually in the Europa one of the times it was bombed[1], was pelting by broken glass, and *seriously* almost spilled my drink. [1] I think 1992. -- d.

On one sad occasion I left London for Chamonix in a party of four, and returned in a party of two. I've known at least three or four other people who died climbing, and that's just in the Alps. -- Jeremy R1200RT

Well, a bit of hyperbole, sure. I think only once did a bomb go off close-by when I was at work. The closest proximity one when I wasn't actually at work, was the office next door getting damaged when they got in a taxi with a bomb, told him to drive to St Albans St and leg it before it blew his Nissan up. > I meant I was actually in the Europa one of the times it was > bombed[1], was pelting by broken glass, Ah, OK. That's close! > and seriously almost spilled my drink. I notice you don't say "pint". Were you drinking a ladies drink? -- Chris

Were you drinking a ladies drink? I think it's generally accepted that a Gin & Tonic is a gentleman's drink, and that ladies should stick to champers. -- d.
