New York seems to be full of wonderful people doing nefarious and funny things.
Have you heard about Ji Lee's speech bubble campaign?
Clinton's been on the case for ages. This is originally from the Onion but for some reason I can't find it there now.
Do you think they mean a silver box that's actually made of silver?
That would be very posh, and scare off the vampires.
People weren't jumping off bridges or doing anything that would endanger themselves or, from what I could see, that threatened to endanger others.
The journalist in the boat was talking to a guy who said there was a family stranded down the road/waterway. They broke down the door to enter, and the adult walking members of the family came out at gunpoint with their hands up. The young kids and very ill grandfather followed after them.
I know it's necessary for the police etc. to do things which might look unreasonable the other side of the TV, but which actually make perfect sense. I just don't see why such an aggressive, suspicious approach should have been appropriate here.
I don't have a link for this - my dad heard it on the radio a day or two ago.
A Brit who made it home said he'd seen an army boat pass a group of girls on top of a roof who shouted at them for help. The soldiers shouted back something like "show us what you've got then" and when the girls didn't cooperate by pulling up their tops, the boat went on and left them.
Watching TV last night, it was weird to see families rescued from their homes at gunpoint. I'm wary of forming opinions about these things from a nice safe distance, but it seemed like a very odd way to treat people who needed help. Am I missing something?
Everywhere he goes, Patrick will be accosted by responsible-looking people brandishing cotton wool, sticking plasters and restorative stiff drinks, asking him if he's *sure* he put his return ticket in a safe place.
(couldn't resist the Frist...)
