Amadeus Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 From BBC.co.uk "One of the world's most famous clocks ground to a halt for more than an hour-and-a-half on Friday, silencing the chimes of Big Ben. The minute hand on the clock face of St Stephen's Tower at the Palace of Westminster, central London, stopped moving at 2207 BST. It began moving again slowly but stalled a second time at 2220 BST and remained still for 90 minutes.The cause of the stoppage is unknown, but the hot weather could be to blame. " It's official: The end is near! At least for the UK.. To be honest: It's our new non-war approach for an invasion: - All your car manufacturers are owned by us - we have your industry - We let you run into the war, while letting our troops rest - we broke your army - We gave you Crazy Frog (the song is produced in Germany) - we made you go mad - We even dress your queen (Karl Rehse, London, 020/79356330) - we control your royals And as coup de grâce for public moral, we even managed to stop this world famous sign of everything British! Victory! Or maybe it was just a crappy clockwork - but I like conspiracy theories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
