And I still ride the Tube nearly every day. Right, I'm getting a gas mask just in case.

Won't you look rather funny? Suit, briefcase, gas mask? Well if I carry it, it's more likely I can come home to you, should the worst happen, darling. ;)
There was a security alert on the Tube yesterday evening; my first thought was of you, my second thought was, "Bugger, I should have gotten a mask".
Love, Ivan

One of these days, I'm going to click on one of these threads, and find nothing but you two, surrounded by bouquets of roses and poetry by Keats. ;)

Well not always Keats; often times I write my own. But then again I miss the mark more often than JK did.
The difference between an amateur and a professional. ;)
But the roses you have right. ;)

Believe me right after Sept. 11th everyone in NYC was buying gas masks. I even order two expensive ones for my boss and his wife. He asked me if I wanted one and I told him no and here is why: The problem with them is when you buy them you have to be wearing them when the attack happens. How many people are going to walk around with a gas masks on. They are a waste of money unless you walk out of your house wearing one. By the time you put it on you will already be dead from the cyanide gas. Horrible thought but true. Looks like our British brothers and sisters are going to be bombarded with threats every 3 or 4 months just like we are. All you can do is be alert and pray nothing happens unless you convert to Islam and then you will be safe and sound </sarcasm>. That's the latest threat for NY and Washington. Wonder what is next?

I'm sorry.

My thanks, my friend, that's the best chuckle I've had all day. ;)

Actually you would have a few seconds to actually get the mask on unless the toxic gas weapon is literally dumped at your feet the standard for the armed forces is 10 seconds. The fact that the folks in Washinton D.C. all have gasmasks & are building themselves a brand new $286 million dollar state of the engineering art bunker literaly attached to the back wall of the Capitol buildings basement. The sad part is that 99%of what is being done is to protect the government class .Note to all freepers if you are going to buy a gasmask get one from the manufacturer or a safety equiptment supplier not the army surplus store. You will get new equiptment not something that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf for 10 to 40 years.
