Putting the Perth Back In Apathy

"Hey, Jonno. You hear they found explosives in Langley Park this morning?"

"That bloody Neil."

And that was it. With the recent bombings in London, Cairo, Bahgdad...etc, you'd think we'd all be running around like headless chooks at the first hint that bangshit has been found in the city. Nah, not us. We all know it's bikie gangs, or geeks trying to impress each other. Islamic extremists... not even on the list of likely suspects.

Even so, www.news.com.au tried to play up the Terrorism angle, but really weren't convincing, no matter how many times they repeated the T word. On the other hand, Aunty did such a perfunctory job you'd think they were covering the under-14s lawn bowls qualifier.

By the way, best London Bombing joke I've heard so far: suicide bombings are like the bus - you wait ages and ages for one, then four turn up at the same time.
