:')

has there been a noticeable media presence around the sinkhole today?

yeah, the bbc were practically doing pieces to camera on my front doorstep

then when the car was rescued it came to earth in front of my house. that is my wall u can see in the background of the pictures of reunited owner and vehicle

majority of those present, besides a largely redundant horde of engineers, were locals with their dogs, some of whom seemed to have been there all afternoon

might post some of my own photos later

the sky is really blue in some of those pictures

combination of blue skies, church with auspicious flag of st george and miraculous sinkhole suggests good things for charlton in the future

Post disaster relief: What happens after the TV cameras have left?

Emergency relief means saving lives, alleviating suffering, and ensuring survival. What happens after that immediate support? Donors are more and more interested to know whether disaster and post-disaster relief are sustainable. At the forefront of disaster and post-disaster relief, Switzerland, along with 14 other countries, leads the way in research, dialogue, and hard currency.

will be impressed if you spot me

jumping up and down and clapping overeXciteDly, trussed up and submerged in chthonic bondage, resplendent in flourescent tabard, miraculously risen from abyss ...the protean lj is everywhere and always immanent

:)

have you considered depositing anything in the sinkhole prior to its being refilled?

maybe an empty lucozade bottle full of daily mirror cuttings and a usb stick of GIRLI .mkvs and limmy vines for any future archaeologist to decipher

now you mention it, not a bad shout

maybe a bag-sealed copy of the kate tempest novel too

are you the guy in the green shirt?

Man Reacts Brilliantly When This Car Fell Down A Sinkhole In Greenwich

In the early hours of Thursday morning, one unfortunate Londoner woke up to the sight of his brother’s car being dragged down a sinkhole in Greenwich. Despite the seemingly shocking scene, Abdul Ahmadzai (the brother of Ghazi Hassan who owned the car), took a laid-back, nonchalant approach to it all.

Mr Ahmadzai said he woke up at 4am. Saw the car. Saw the hole. Went back to sleep. “Nothing I could do” he tells @PA.

If we woke up at 4 in the morning to see our car making its way into the depths of the earth, we’re pretty sure we’d just go back to sleep too. In London sleep is precious, while cars are, perhaps, unnecessary. Our thoughts do go out to Mr Hassan and his gobbled up car. Apparently, the only thing keeping it slightly above the ground was a pipe. Emergency services are currently working on the area in Greenwich and are keeping residences updated.

After spending the last four years reading, writing and clinging onto her student life in Cardiff, Georgie’s traded the capital in for the English equivalent (against her Welsh Grandma’s wishes). The drinks may have quadrupled in price, but she’s hoping this will prevent any chance of her getting Valley-girl wasted on a night out.

sinkhole updates svp

has anyone been taking pleasure in the inconvenience the sinkhole is causing you?

more concerned with the blackwall tunnel closure atm

there are some pleasingly enormous holes in the road, buttressed by some pleasingly tall girders. it's almost like autechre knew

have you considered interring yourself in the sinkhole

a return to primordial oneness

it would doubtless be of interest to architects of the ensuing civilisation, but i haven't got a copy of the kate tempest to hand

the earth in the sweet humid enclave of the sinkhole is the only true earth, all its feigning sediments collapsed and refound as concrete en abyme

so you got the jute gyte album alert email too

whats happening to the sinkhole rn

just walked past it, still fenced off surrounded by construction vehicles and strange excavations

interesting

do you think there could be a connection between the sinkhole and the murder of lee rigby which occurred not far away

all these crazy things happening, there's got to be some sort of connection

that's what i'm figuring

trying to work out what my own life would be like now if the sinkhole had been a kilometre away and lee rigby murdered outside my house

what sort of person i'd be

http://kingofwallpapers.com/life/life-019.jpg

he looks a bit like lee rigby

mens xp xp XD

i wish more people were emotionally invested in lee rigby culture and maddy culture around here

we'll never get anything so great as the LOOK FOR MADDY poster for drummer lee rigby. because he is dead

lee rigby and maddy

who is lee rigby and why should we care?

he was a top bloke

does that answer the second part of your question too?

it only answers the second part.

he is a sort of figurehead of british identarianism

The Electoral Commission has been forced to make an embarrassing apology after allowing an extremist party to use a slogan featuring murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

The watchdog had given the green light for Britain First to use the description “Remember Lee Rigby” on voting slips for next month’s European poll and now it can’t do anything about stopping them.

The commission admitted the gross error was made even worse by the fact polling day falls on the first anniversary of Drummer Rigby’s murder.

and the british populist right often invoke his name in connection to things that do not have anything to do with him

his name appears frequently in discussion of the forthcoming referendum for example

On 7 June 2013, a 21-year-old woman from Harrow was ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work after tweeting that people in Help for Heroes T-shirts "deserve to be beheaded"

England fans singing 'Lee Rigby, he's one of our own' outside the Globe in Baker Street..

Reading through that Twitter account I'm struck most of all by how crushingly dull it is

how has charlton's lee rigby scene been reacting to the big news?

rap game matthew parris obv xp

a few england flags flying. might be a euro 2016 thing but a few were fluttering from open windows in a manner that didn't scream iceland in the second round on monday

everyone looked so fucking pissed off on the tube obviously

not encountered any hitlers screeching abuse, and i even wore my cyprus football shirt to and from work today as a protest/provocation

:)

but yeah v dysphoric for us. been taking out my frustrations on the charlton forum which actually has some people i can get fucked off at. oh wait this is what you were talking about lol - ok, well in that case, the lee rigbies have been telling the stuck-up metropolitan wankers to get over it, although a heartening number have also said that they feel curiously empty despite voting for the winner. it will also have been discussed that in certain industrial sectors, every time a british person leaves a job, they are replaced by a romanian, with the inevitability of royal accession

i've managed to accumulate only 4 charlton forum flag posts today, which is fewer than it could have been

lol

Sobering

today greeted us with a biblical event in our garden - a beach! only last week in cyprus we had discussed the whimsical possibility of building a beach in our garden and here it was, sandbanks and gatherings of stone baking dry in the midday sun

the beach, it turned out, had washed across the road from the sinkhole site in heavy rain, for a large pile of stones and detritus, crowned flamboyantly with a small digger, had been left to the elements' mercy

dope

sous les pavés, la plage in reverse....this can really only be understood as a metaphysical auguring of the restoration - as the soil is redeposited by means of the storm, so the blood of drummer lee rigby is transmuted into the new nation

well, it originally all came from sous les paves, so not even in reverse

the bones of charlton's lee rigbies of yore have silted my garden

yes, a return to the primordial order of things

now even the flowers will return to what they once were in glorious albion

will there be more dogs and monkeys? based on television representations, there were a lot of dogs and monkeys during the purer England era

same number of dogs but possibly many, many more monkeys

miss u nakh, all i can think to do today is watch sinkholes on youtube, it's all that's left

"the land is riddled with mineshafts and tunnels, which have now come back to haunt us"

a fossorial hauntology

this programme ("sinkholes: sucked under") is great

they're talking abt forgotten prehistoric flint-mines and only just stopped themselves using the phrase "that mineral they craved"

"sucked into the void 5000 feet below"

classic british angle: "will it affect house prices?"

(inc.a poor fellow unable to sell the only house in an entire road in bury st edmunds that fell into a forgotten mine: he's been stuck there since the 60s, while the rest of his very new modern estate turned into wild overrun fenced off wasteland)

"the uk: a small island riddled with mines"

amusingly, the narrator has actually used -- in passing -- the "it's a minefield" metaphor

"they drilled more than 100 boreholes round the school" lol

scale of voids discovered below school measured -- i am pleased to say -- in the correct unit of volume: "16 doubledecker buses"
