Doesn't the time fly....I thought this had happened a couple of years ago, not 5 !

[ummmm]

It really does fly.

Not news related I know but I had it in my mind that my granddad died last year and was then informed it's 3 years.

[mikey4444]

Ummm...time concertinas, and as we get older, it just gets more so.

I seem to recall that due to Norway's rules, Breivik was sentenced to only 21 years, so he could be out in 16 years time......Scary thought !

[ummmm]

I don't think he'll ever get out.

All they have to do is section him.

[dieseldick]

its flying in for him. he will be out soon.

[mikey4444]

Yes, I think you are right, but it irritates me to see how he is still trying to manipulate the Authorities. His Wiki entry is an eye-opener !

And your point is?

Unless of course it is to once again bring to the surface the devastating actions of a mad man.

[mikey4444]

AOG...Read the link in my thread....its 5 years since the atrocity.

/// AOG...Read the link in my thread....its 5 years since the atrocity. ///

So? can we expect another next year, when it will be 6 years since the atrocity?

[mikey4444]

AOG.....not sure why you are injecting a sour note into this thread ?

[ummmm]

Because that's what he does.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

Do as to others, as others do to you.

[-Talbot-]

I think the question 'why cherry picking of atrocities?' has to be asked

[ummmm]

That's childish, AOG.

[Islay]

the reason that AOG is being so sour is that because this story does not involve a muslim so he can't complain about them carrying out the worlds murders, rapes etc!!

[Mamyalynne]

Time does indeed fly by - an almost eerie report given the beauty of the setting to imagine what is was like for those there that day.

What a moving tribute that building is to both the dead and those who survive with terrible memories.

[-Talbot-]

I agree with that Islay but do you agree on why this atrocity was chosen for special remembrance by mikey?

[Islay]

I can't say why mikey chose this particular item

[mikey4444]

Editor....In memory of the people that were killed that on the 22nd July 2011, and before this thread descends into the usual pit of petty arguments, can you please remove this thread.

[-Talbot-]

Good grief

[Mamyalynne]

I can't see why the thread should go and if anyone wants to turn it into a petty argument then ignore them.

Equally if someone feels there is an anniversary that should be remembered today - good or bad. They have the opportunity to start a thread about it.
