I been locked out; I been locked in

As you may have heard, London's under attack again. Jeez, these terrorists just don't quit, do they?

Anyway, the alarming thing about this is that not only have they evacuated Warren Street tube (among others), they've made an enormous cordon around the station, which actually encompasses my entire building. We've just been told we're not allowed to leave until further notice. How am I going to get my 2.30 coke now? I'll get sleepy without my afternoon sugar rush!

In the tradition of lame-blog-style journanimalism, here's a photo of the view from my office, of live, exciting cordon-action.

update - More photo fun- on my way out of the building (they shortened the cordon slightly to let us out), I saw a police scooter. Which made me laugh. I don't know why.

At least this bunch seems wholly incompetent. I much prefer incompetent terrorist to the ones who know what they are doing.

Send that picture into yourpics@bbc.co.uk

I'm not sure whether incompetent terrorists are all that much better. Bombs fizzling is a good thing, but most other mistakes aren't really much of a saving grace. Even morons like these were presumably still in danger of killing innocent people.

On the plus side, 'in order to provide mission-critical sugar in case of terror attack' sounds like an excellent case for getting a vending machine into your office ;-)

I agree- if I fall asleep at my desk at three, then the terrorists have truly won.

In perspective, the attacks on London so far have been mercifully small in scale, when you think of the alternatives. If this is the worst they've got to offer, I think we'll be okay.

It appears it was amateur night in bomb making school. Thank fuck, cause it seems the intention was there but either the bombs weren't set properly or the explosives had degraded.
