Update 5: Scotland Yard: Not a serious incident. *deleted*
Update 6: Argh...*deleted*...I am so pissed off! Just because of some pathetic bombs made by amateurish cunts!
Update 7: According to Tube Diary, the tube hasn't been shut down. Only the Hammersmith & City, Northern and Victoria Line.
Update 8: The police has cordoned off University College Hospital. Apparently one of the losers ran into the hospital.
Update 9: The mobile networks are coping well. Most in the office are on their mobiles so at least the network isn't jammed.
Update 10: Remember guys... these are all just rumours. I won't believe anything until I see it on the BBC, so you shouldn't too. *deleted*

Update 15 (14:52 BST): There is a liveblog going on at Europhobia. I love it when Nosemonkey describes that this attack would most 'likely to go down in history as the most half-arsed terrorist attack in history.' ROFL!
Update 16: BBC Radio Five Live here.
Update 17: *deleted*
Update 18: In other news: Malaysia unpegs the Ringgit. Many Malaysians keeping US dollars in banks loses money.
Update 19: Oi! They just shut down Shepherd's Bush and Uxbridge Road. Now I am angry. Where am I going to get me dinner?
Update 20: *deleted*
Update 21: I think I am going to get my late lunch now. I can't help it but posting being slightly chirpy. Today's event is no where near as serious as two Thursdays ago or anything Britain has experienced since 1998 when I first came to the UK.
Update 22: Where the hell is Tony Blair? Via the BBC a suspect package is being investigated on the number 37 bus to Peckham. The bus is off Putney Hill in St John's Avenue.
Update 23: Apparently a man has been arrested outside Downing Street and/or Ministry of Defence. Also there are reports of 'sour smell' on a couple of Tube stations. *deleted* Meanwhile the BBC is stating that this is a dummy hoax attack.
