I Think It's About Time We Got A Big News Story! Get a bigger avatar today!

The news is getting a bit boring..we've had the Cherie Blair non-story, the regular suicide bombings in Israel, something every now and then about firefighters and about pensions, but we need another September 11th.

Not that people die, but something that will dominate discussion here for a while...with stories appearing on Poly before they get on BBC or CNN.

I reckon it will involve Germany.

I know what you mean...ours ended up 13 days late, and even then it was something of a struggle.

I reckon there might be large scale attack by Al Qaeda around Christmas time. Getting at people during the most important holiday of the year will have a large psychological effect. Hope they don't of course.

Oil tanker Prestige sinks.
Massive oil pollution on the Spanish coasts.

Cargo ship Tricolor, loaded with thousands of luxury cars, sinks before Duinkerken, and blocks world's busiest sea route.

But, it's not terrorism, so I suppose not interesting enough.
