Thu 22 July 2004 - The terrorists who weren’t
More teenage funsters on the train this morning. What is this, the school holidays?
They got into the rear cab of the train, and apparently found the button to work the microphone, if nothing else.
A very half-hearted attempt to do the impersonate-the-terrorists bit. Too much swearing to be plausible.
Rather than “You f—ing motherf—ers, there’s a bomb on your f—ing train”, they might have done better with something about Western infidels or something. As well as choosing a spokesman whose voice wasn’t breaking.
And of course you should speak clearly and not shout into the microphone if you want your diatribe to be clearly understood.
As it was, nobody took any notice.
