Swordfishtrombone Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 My days at Uni were either spent getting stoned beside the pond or drinking tea in the sports bar. I cant remember too much about back then apart from knowing now that an English degree does not get you a good.job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fire alarm signaled the start, much like a referees whistle. Then it ended with another ten second sound of the alarm. We have them tested once a week anyway, so suppose it fitted in quite nicely. Have come in to the following this morning. Assume we will be having another tomorrow for this morning's incident.

Tartan Dave Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Just had a minutes silence in Glasgow Airport, did not work as folk were battering along to departure gates, business types on phones. Don't really think an airport is the place for a silence but hey ho, comes from a good place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That's us just had the minutes silence for the fire, it didn't include last nights attack, so I'd imagine there'll be another one tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The Squinty Bridge in Glasgow seems to be a focal point for this. It currently has the names of the people killed in Manchester and London (the most recent one at London Bridge, not the one at Westminster, your deaths were too long ago, suck it) stuck on the railings in big plastic letters. I think it has #STANDTOGETHER or something similar on either side too. It's moved on from previously having the names of killed Syrian children (and their ages and their cause of death) written on small plastic crosses, before that it had the name/age/death of soldiers killed abroad. Almost makes you wish it was covered in padlocks instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Much more of this pish and they will soon be putting up signs telling people that at some point in the week there will be a minutes work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Much more of this pish and they will soon be putting up signs telling people that at some point in the week there will be a minutes work. I could get on board with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 We were supposed to have a minutes silence today. Thankfully someone phoned about a second into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it was signaled by the fire alarm going off, and a lot of people have voiced their displeasure at this. Yet to find out if we will have one today for yesterday's events.
