For those who care, here's what happened to me today.

Glad to hear you're okay, Clive.

Yes. Some of us do care.

Like many of us, I went through the "I could
have been there" scenario

I think it is the familiar locations that make this line of thinking
even more prevalent.

prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

Indeed, although I tend to find myself in a lot of pretty iconic places
a lot of the time, if you see what I mean.

Because my "colleagues" are people I only see occasionally and who
aren't in one place at one time, I'm still dreading hearing bad news
about someone I know but can't easily "check on".

That's just it. It's particularly chilling in my case - my route to work
is the Piccadilly line southbound to Russell Square. I usually cycle, but
i was thinking of taking the train that day; the weather wasn't great, and
i had a talk to give at work.

I do take comfort from two facts: firstly, the exits at Russell Square are
right at the southern end of the platform, so i always get on in the first
carriage, to save on walking, so i would have been a good distance from
the bomb; secondly, it's unlikely that i'd have been out of bed by 0850,
let alone on a tube train!

I thought the bomb was in the first car?

ITV news reported last night that one of the bombs (can't remember if
it was the Russell Sq one) was right at the front of the train.
