Just in case you ever need to politely respond to one of these…

1. On receipt of a telephoned bomb threat:
(a) Try to be calm and courteous.
(b) If at all possible keep the caller talking, for example, by pretending difficulty in hearing, and repeat all the information you receive alound

2. Try to find out:
(a) Exactly where is the bomb?
(b) When will it go off?
(c) What does it look like?
(d) What organization do they represent or why are they making the threat?
(e) How does the bomb work?
(f) Where is the caller phoning from?

Well, unless someone wakes me up, I’m drunk and asleep in Hawaii. It’s a neat place, full of ridiclulous pronunciations.  Fortunately, I’ve just been to a bar with much sympathy for my complete drunkennessness (perhaps too much…).  Anyway, much thanks to Kim the excellent manager and ride-giver, Becky the hot bartender, and Melissa the intriguing physicist.  Pictures to come on Flickr- keep an eye out.  Only 300 or so of them to go through and properly process.  Fortunately, alcohol is currently interfering.  *thunk.*
