London Thames Barrier breached

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Swim for your lives.

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

If only.

[Santa's Boyfriend]

Fucking hell, you had me worried for a moment there.

[buttgammon]

Why did this prompt me to look at the BBC's website 'just in case'?

[opyty]

No need to panic. Relocation scheme already started...

[buttgammon]

That better hadn't be near me. The locals will go mad, Big bloody Ben obscuring our view of a nearby dual carriageway. Damn city folk.

[Oscar]

Well, I don't mind taking in a few tourists who need somewhere to dry off, but the politicians aren't coming in.

[Pinball]

Well at least it would make London homes affordable. Be quite funny to see where the best (i.e. highest) land is, namely church, castle etc. Presumably the East End would be the watery pit.

[Oscar]

So when imagining the widespread devastation of London, entailing a massive loss of lives, the destruction of many beautiful buildings and irreplaceable cultural artifacts, your immediate thoughts are of house prices. Really Pinball, I'm shocked. I may have to tut.

[hoverdonkey]

If only.

And of course you mean that.

[drberbatov]

well they have a ferris wheel already, might as well build a log flume

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

And of course you mean that.

I could honestly say that I wouldn't give a shit.

[Cambrian Times]

Barnet's going to be pretty safe, thank God. highest point in a straight line between London and Yorkshire doncha-know.

Barnet's going to be pretty safe, thank God. highest point in a straight line between London and Yorkshire doncha-know.

That's the weakest selling point for a town I think I've ever heard.

[danielreal2k]

Affectively making terrorists unemployed

[Santa's Boyfriend]

The South Bank Show will have to be renamed "The Middle of the Thames Show".

[hoverdonkey]

I could honestly say that I wouldn't give a shit.

Staggering

[Uncle TechTip]

Yeah, it'd certainly put the wind up those stuffy Whitehall bureaucrats! See how they like a bit of flooding Doncaster-style!

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

Staggering

That's just the kind of renegade that I am. FIGHT THE POWER!

[Suttonpubcrawl]

Is there a Thames Barrier anywhere other than in London?

[lactating man nips]

Haven't you heard of the Cramlington Thames Barrier?

[Santa's Boyfriend]

There's a Thames Barrier in the Severn.

No, wait...

[kenneth trousers]

Sebastian Coe was a member of The Hallamshire Harriers athletic club, don't know if that  is any help?

[surreal]

That's a still from Robert Carlyle's new movie isn't it?  Talk about timing....

Me. Noam Chomsky has no idea how to write books.
