Is everyone who is in London okay? I've checked in with [livejournal.com profile] temaris, but [livejournal.com profile] lost_house's mobile goes through to voice mail.

Seph, are you okay? I also tried to get through to Andrew, but no joy. Have you heard from him?

Fides? Becca? Sam? Ruric?

Talk to me, guys, let me know you're okay.

Fine - I'm south London based - well away from the danger area but we're hearing sirens all round us which is disconcerting.

Very concerned for colleagues and friends up in town.

Me and Sam are fine, I had three emails in my inbox from her, I expected them to be 'ARE YOU OKAY!:!!' but she was just having a go 'cause I went to see The Barrowman and left her to watch Dead Poets Society. I think maybe she doesn't know. But yes, we're okay.

A lot of the networks have been turned off because in Madrid they triggered bombs by mobile. So not to worry if you can't contact people by mobile.

I'm glad to hear from you; I wasn't sure whether you'd gone down to London for the Barrowman thing.

The rational part of my brain was going: there are several reasons why the mobiles networks could be down. It's a major incident, everyone will be trying to use mobiles.

The rest of my brain was going: ARGH!! JUST CONNECT ME, YOU FUCKING LUMP OF PLASTIC!!!

Thanks! I've heard from nearly everyone, now. There's still another couple to check in, though :(

Didn't remember you were based in London!

::hugs:: and glad you're okay. You weren't anywhere near the blasts were you?

I very nearly did, but couldn't justify the time off work.

No, was in Croydon today (which had suspect packages and panic).

I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate being up here while you guys are all down there. I hate knowing that people died and that friends were too damn near to it and being so fucking relived it wasn't any of you.

Er, apparently my information there was completely wrong anyway.

1. The Madrid bombings were triggered by the alarm clocks on mobiles, not by a call.

2. The networks were giving priority to emergency services but were not turned off.

Just to try and cap the extraordinary amount of erroneous information flying about.

*joins you in shouting at plastic*

*BIG AMAZING HUGS TO YOU* I'm so glad that you are okay and that all of your friends are checking in. LP is here with me and ditto's that. We are wondering if Suzy is okay? LP thought that she was still in London.

Stay safe!

She's fine :-D Luckily, she's not near the centre of London. So far, everyone who is in London has checked in so all good :-D

Yeah!!! And I have added her to my friends list so that I can keep up with her as well. *wink* So happy to hear that everyone has checked in good thus far. We've been trying to keep up with things here.
