Calais Explosive Device

[fender62]

not enough information yet, not bbc so far, i wonder if the driver was headed here with his bomb
or was he going to set it off on the ferry?

/// I've just noticed I have three times as many best answers as you ///

Oh dear, what is that supposed to imply?

[Garaman]

To be fair, FF, Naomi posts mainly in the news section where, unlike other sections, BA's reek of sycophancy.

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, I didn't mention you – and I don’t mention you. I have no reason to mention you. I asked if your pointed comment at 17:27 was meant for me, that's all - and it was. Congratulations on your best answers - but who's counting? I never look at my total.

[ladybirder]

Oh my word, is this the schoolyard, "I've got more BA's than you". How pathetic.

I've looked at your first page of 20 BA's FF, and 18 are for Crosswords/Quizzes etc so that explains it. Naomi's BA's are mainly in the News section where it is much harder to get a BA. Not sure if she does Q&P's etc where BA's seem easy to come by.

Telling us nothing...…..but telling us everything. Shameful, but indicative comment.

That sound you hear is wagons circling and sharpshooters taking their stance.

[Garaman]

In the News Section it should really be a BO for BANG ON, when you have said exactly what the OP hoped someone would.

[jourdain2]

What the heck do BA's have to do with this? My daughter and small children were traveling by ferry to France through Calais this morning. Holding 2 young children in a car for hours is not one bit funny.
Deep breath - ok, rant over, sorry.

[gness]

We had a delay without children, J and it wasn't pleasant....but this is the way AB news is these days......straight away we get the "wait for the apologist post" and the thread goes to pot...

Hope they are home safely.....Gx

[naomi24]

Rotten for the kids especially, Jourdain. Hope they're safely where they want to be now.

[Peter Pedant]

Oh dear sozza readers - I have lurched back to bangy-things in Calais and environs

".....And of curse Jackdaw those that remain silent on Islam or terrorism threads are by implication supporting/ approving of terrorism...."

who r u to demand responses? Some of us have worked all day & cant respond to every thread. What I think is none of your business & I wont be bullied by you to respond. suffice that France acted & saved lives.

[-Talbot-]

Weapons not bombs apparently.

[Jackdaw33]

I do not, and never have, demanded responses. My post was aimed at those who do contribute to threads such as this yet remain strangely reticent in their condemnation.

[gulliver1]

Forget how many best answers you have, just let NAOMI have the last word, then we can all move on. OK.

[Garaman]

I would think everyone on here condemns such acts.

[fiction-factory]

If your post at 20:01 was aimed at me, Tambo, then I'm sorry but you missed the point. It was my attempt at sarcasm, sorry, but there is truth in it as failure to comment is sometimes picked up on an misinterpreted.

[gness]

Jackdaw....not responding to threads such as this or responding in a way that doesn't suit you doesn't mean we don't condemn....and it certainly doesn't mean we apologise.

It means that you have got in early with your usual stupid and immature response and we know it's not worth our time because you have sent the thread downhill as you so often do without making any contribution to the OP or the site for that matter.

Naomi and I don't get along at all but she does post considered and knowledgable opinions....you could try that for the sake of AB instead of making a mess of threads.
