Oh good grief.

What the merry heck???

A lunatic with a gun has gone on the rampage in Cumbria.

These are villages I know really well, it's the least likely place I can think of for something like this to happen. Tragic and horrible and bizarre.

ETA: The guy may have shot himself. Gods, this thing is horrific. ):

In other news, I have been striken by the Gods in the

OMG - iz slightly stunned.

And babe! I'm so sorry you're hurting so much - though the high is good, but not for that reason... ::hugs you with care::

Isn't it ghastly?

I've been watching events unfold from my sofa-of-pain - there's precious else to do tbh, I'm flipping between News 24 and PMQ's, such is the extent of my loose-endedness. :)

Thank you for your adorably pink and fluffy, puppy-soft concern my lovely but the pain's not too bad now I'm high as a kite taking my medicine like a good girl and so long as I don't move around too much. I have tea and snacks to hand, control of the remote weird-shit manips of Tory front-benchers dressed as Japanese schoolgirls and a bona-fide excuse to eat cheese and be idle. If it wasn't for the bad back, I'd be in heaven. *g*

But - hugs. Hugs iz always good. ♥

Oh, that's horrific (and I thought it was my people who were supposed to be going on armed rampages, not yours...) - my condolences to all of you, but particularly to the people who knew the victims...

I thought it was my people

Oh, we have our moments too, sadly, like in '94 when one bastard took out a class of 4 and 5 years olds - and their teacher - at their school in Dunblaine. Our gun laws are quite strict and gon-ownership is rare, but shotguns are legal and in a rural area like Cumbria, not unusual. We still don't know what provoked this bizarre killing spree, I suppose it'll all come out eventually. It's all so horrible and so hard to understand. .

Better living through chemistry ... feel better soon!

Thanks, I'll do my best.

The news about the rampage sounds terrible.

Hope your back is better soon. Enjoy the mes while you've got them :)

It's horrific, tragic. There's been little else on the news tonight.

I hope my back is better soon, too, thanks! :) I have a vast supply of the meds, thanks. I don't know what the street value is but I expect it's pretty good. :)

You look after your back!
