and I didn't even get a chance to get the arachnophobia clue in. Damn. over to you EP.

not quite there yet.

ok. this should help: an instrumentalist.

um, no.

another clue at say, half 10?

sorry Foxy.

no

No.

If the MissP ribs are as good as Bubba's was (Spitalfields back in the day if anyone remembers) I'm in.

Never been L. But I often work in Clapham and you can't swing a cat without knocking over a ponce. Just saying :)

nope EP

It's unfortunate that you perceived it as cynical.

Heartbreaking.

Did you mean Clacton?

Non

DaveR, at last! Further, it's fascinating and bewildering why there's such reluctance and resistance in using the "t" word. Perhaps it may be seen as somehow empowering the perpetrators and even glorifying their heinous acts; or is it generally misunderstood or perplexing or ? Avoiding the word, as Obama did post Boston (though he succumbed after 24 hours), makes no sense. If this was without any social or political objectives, I'd agree, but this was not the case. Like it or not, and you may call it the rantings of a madman or fanatic but "under which actions and threats designed to influence a government may be terrorism" (Terrorism Act 2006). If it walks like a duck etc. It is what it is. El Pibe, your example of the crazed, lone, nutter Breivak had right-wing political motives and was convicted of terrorism. Agreed that the cub scout leader will probably get her medal of bravery, possibly have post traumatic stress for many years to come as may the other witnesses and those who assisted; the family and friends of the deceased will undoubtedly be distressed beyond comprehension and will be forever haunted and life will go on. . .

Thanks for the vote of confidence EP. Looks like it's far too cerebral for me. Overthinking this = headache so I'm out :)

Have to disagree here. The motive was far from random - again, it was to take revenge and highlight injustices (perceived or real). It seems that one identified assailant was known as "Mujahid" defined as a Muslim engaged in what he considers to be a jihad (ie a struggle, however it is used more commonly and erroneously to mean waging war). This was a tactical and calculated act. This is by no means justification, but merely goes towards the bigger picture which is continually unfolding.

Passepartout ?

OK, so the terminology may not be quite right but give the OP a break people.
