Perspective
Here’s a brilliant story from No geek is an island that puts the current threat of terrorism into some sort of perspective…
I got some new clobber while I was [in London] and also picked up this anecdote about a friend’s housemate who showed less resolve in the face of Terror. (I should reassure you in advance that the subject received only minor flesh wounds in the making of this story.)
On Friday morning, having been spooked by the failed bombings of 21/7, he announced that he would be forgoing London’s public transport system and would instead travel to work by bike.
He headed off through Camden and was promptly hit by a van.
Before anyone starts to panic, it really should be borne in mind that you are still more likely to be run over by a bus than blown up in one.
