That Fucking Bomb in Aston

[m4rkb]

It' been there for best part of 80 years and sod all has ever happened but the second they find it there's a cordon around it and they're treating it like they can hear it ticking and it's about to blow.

As luck would have it all my work today and yesterday is either at one end of the problem or the other so I thought fuck it, I'm off home as nothing is moving anywhere around the place or any of the alternative routes.

Couldn't they just air lift the fucking thing and drop it in the nearest reservoir rather than go to all these lengths that just fuck everyone about.

[m4rkb]

The experts have identified it. It's a German bomb from WW2.

Well there's a surprise.

Iintelligence. Insulted. Much?

[Steve Hunt]

Pity the the thing didn't go off.

Would have made a vast improvement to the place

[m4rkb]

You're actually right there Steve.

Local radio brainbox cum historian is goowin all over the 'istory of it how it got there with his put on Brummie accent.

The Germans were apparently trying to bomb the factories around there. I'm learning so much. This is riveting. Here's me thinking Hitler had a grudge against the Villa.

The Army reckon they're going to let if off later. I'd piss my pants if it went puff rather than BOOOOOOOOOM!

Fucking ridiculous. Even made the traffic news, two days running on TS. So who exactly is going to stump up the dough to relocate the hundreds of people who now find themselves in the salubrious settings of Harborne and Barnt Green? I feel sorry for the commuters who's daily struggle's been compounded by this shit. The cunts on BBC Midlands Today and at the Evening Mail are probably wanking themselves into a frenzy thinking this disruption has put the city on the map, finally. Wrong, you stupid bastards. Regions even in the fucking impoverished north east and Wigan are probably laughing at us.

Let it go off for a laugh.

Stupid cunts. It's only Aston, apart from the little known football team and Wing Yip, there's fuck all else I'd miss if the place melted into the earth's core.

[m4rkb]

I moved ten yards in just under half an hour around Bromford Lane and the only reason I moved that far was ten yards worth of traffic had had enough and done a U turn.

Can't disagree with that to be honest. The place is a fucking dump bar the two you mention.


There's no way the roads of London are allowed to grind to a halt like this. They just would not stand for it.

Can't agree with that, m4rkb.

Slightest fucking opportunity and they bring the capital to a standstill.

The State Opening of Parliament being held on a weekday being a prime bloody example.

[colinthewarriormonkey]

I blame the foreigners.

[m4rkb]

I've been stuck in many a London jam mate and the roads are like brands hatch compared to when we get gridlock up here.

That said, they are appalling. Even matchdays in North London move. Well crawl at a snails pace but at least they're moving.

Tottenham on match day is horrendous.

When I go, I park in Edmonton & walk in (or get the train if I fancy a beer).

Kankers could you possibly sit astride as they detonate and fly to Uranus on an investigative foray?

[Desolation]

Similar thing near my offices in Plymouth recently. Major road works but it caused chaos because they kept digging up phospher bombs and shut all the roads for hours and hours. Three times over about 10 days. Turns out they were from a long forgotten WW2 Yank army base. Local RN UXB specialists took them out to sea and had fun with them.
