I didn't - and apparently I wasn't that far away from one of them. It can't be just a coincidence that the wastes of space who planned the bomb alerts carried out their hoaxes on a day when they knew Belfast's roads would be hectic anyway, with thousands of employees rushing home to catch the start of the major football tournament* getting underway today.

Let's face it, these cowards (presumably republicans?) haven't the balls to actually cause serious harm because they have no backing from the wider population. Instead they just piss off as many people as possible (at least they keep the army and police officers in jobs). At the risk of sounding reckless, they're more of an irritance than a threat - like all-too-persistent mosquitos. It's well past time they were swatted.

* I'm not naming the tournament in question lest I incur the wrath of FIFA.
