Just when you think riot season is over, half the city goes teh crazy. And several outlying towns.
Of course people in Bangor are going to be righteously OUTRAGED about a parade in a different town several miles away having to go a slightly different route, and there for are entirely justified in hijacking buses, robbing the passengers then setting fire to the bus!

Word around the office has been that things are starting up again at 3 or 4 and we've already sent home anybody that has to travel that way.

Ooh official comformation http://www.trafficwatchni.com/ of the start of it at least.

It is all the opposite direction from where I live, but the longer these things go on, the more spread out they get, cos no-one wants to be left out of a good riot...

So yeah, heading home, despite the fact I do actually have a ton of work piling up after being off most of last week. I may even have to come in EARLY tomorrow. The horror.

In other news, cold has snuck back so I feel shit and that stupid girl from last week who didn't show up sent a big email to me whining the maps were WRONG (well if you'd fucking showed up when you were supposed to we could have discussed that) then sent one to my boss claiming she'd never received them.
Strong Words were had this morning re stupid woman with boss and a fairly blunt email will be returned to her tomorrow. Still have to redo stupid fucking maps tho.

Anyways, I'm off home to watch the city burn from the safety of my living room, hurrah!

I am glad you are not being rioted on!

Ditto! I am reliably informed that despite their outward appearance of being a big party, and the common usage of the term "It was a riot" to denote something being extremely fun, real-life riots aren't hugely enjoyable.

You know, I don't know about this doctrine of nuclear annihilation, but if they think we're trying to annihilate them, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it.

From the looks of it they're making a fairly strong attempt to annihilate themselves. If we're lucky at least some of them will succeed.

That's not nice.. don't go leaving vicious looking weapons lying about in areas they're likely to go now, will you :P

They seem to have found plenty of their own to use. Spontaneously of course in not at all in an organised or premeditated fashion, oh no!

stupid stupid stupid stupid opportunistic tribalism.

"I can fuck shit up and say it's because I'm a member of a disenfranchised and oppressed community! w00t!"

Stupid.

My new favourite so far is the guy who's shop was burnt out by a petrol bomb, for his conversation with a reporter on the telly

reporter - so who do you blame for the complete loss of your livelihood?
man - Peter Hain and the parades commission!
Reporter - not the person who threw the petrol bomb?
man - no!

me - *boggles*

Glad you're okay. I suggest rioting at them before they can come and riot at you. *hugs*

Thanks ;) No-one has yet tried to riot at me tho they have blocked the roads not far away. Which mostly means we'll just get out of work early tomorrow again.
