The London Tube has apparently been hit again...
Emergency services have been called to three Tube stations after "incidents", Scotland Yard said.
Police confirmed they had been called to Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush stations.
There have been reports of smoke coming from two of the stations and all three have been evacuated.
There are no reports of any casualties. Police also confirmed that emergency service personnel have responded to reports of an incident on a route 26 bus in Hackney Road. A spokesman for London Underground said the nature of the incidents was unknown (how can the incident still be unknown if we KNOW there's been an incident. Someone must know something... ).
One hospital, near Warren St station, has started its emergency plan (quick, take down all the NHS signs - we're charges for this one!).
Sosiane Mohellavi, 35, was travelling from Oxford Circus to Walthamstow when she was evacuated from a train at Warren Street.
"I was in the carriage and we smelt smoke - it was like something was burning. (funny that, smoke smelling like something is burning).
"Everyone was panicked and people were screaming. We had to pull the alarm. I am still shaking (but that could also be from the drugs)."
But a BBC reporter outside Warren St station said there was no sign of smoke outside.
------------
Interesting.
I will bet a fiver that this is the London Undergrounds crazy lady with her bag of biscuits again. There will be a controlled explosion (of digestives and hobnobs) and then the Underground bosses will manage to blame EVERY single little problem in the normal running of the tubes on that from now until next February.
Three weeks from now when my train is late in Birmingham, even though it came via Manchester - they will blame the fucking terrorists, and I'll have to like it or lump it. I'll be standing on the platform thinking that I'm just about ready to strap a bomb to myself in protest...
The best of it is, this is not a new thing... its now just a more regular one. Just since the explosions in London, I've been delayed by three lost bags, a Barbie doll and a little Muslim guy that left three plastic bags 100 metres away from his seat, and when he was told off about it, he grumbled that the security guy was being racist (and you can imagine what that did for the situation, can't you? Of course you can. Everyone backed off, and let the guy do what he liked).
I can't really blame one little old guy... he's just a fucktard, and there's not a lot we can do about that. He's convinced that the rules are racist, and he doesn't have to do anything that is written for British people... No. I blame the rest of us.
Not ONCE has someone had the fucking common sense to think "would a flimsy plastic bag, with what looks like an apple in it be considered a security risk?" before they called the police. In fact, not anyone has thought to themselves "you know what, that bag is a little transparent, and that even LOOKS like an apple" before they called them.
And every time the dumbasses do that, it takes me another hour to get home.
And it always rains when I'm delayed. I don't know why, but it does, and I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking of renting myself out to the Portuguese farmers who haven't seen a drop of rain since... um... I don't know when, but it's been a long time apparently.
Anyway - the point of this post was to keep you all up to do with current affairs, and to ask you all to be a little more considerate before you call and evacuation of a train station because there is a dog turd shaped piece of C4 where that dog was just squatting.
(I do apologise in advance if there are any casualties and this is later seen in bad taste, even though I don't really mean it).

Adam, thank you for "getting" me.
Circe, I WAS KIDDING. I wasn't "bitching" at all. No one was hurt (as far as anything I've read so far) so I let a joke fly.

Actually the smoke has since been confirmed, and the bombs were just the detonators (they've run out of cash for the explosives).
More broken windows and screaming women smelling stuff on the cards for us I reckon.
