I ummed & arred about posting a funny today after the terrible events in London but I finally concluded that I shouldn't let the B***tards responsible for the atrocities cause me to change my normal routine.

Fine sentiments Mr Crighton, shared, I hope, by many more of us.  The news is certainly terrible, and seemingly worse by the hour.  But if we do change our normal life then it would be to admit defeat to the terrorists.
