"I've been blown up by a better class of bastard than you."

For those who haven't seen it yet, possibly the definitive collection of Londoner quotes on the July 7 bombings, from tyrell.

And a particularly choice comment....

This is actually part of one of the comments to that collected-quotes post of tyrell's, from sciencewizard.  But I think it deserves its own space.

Israel says, "Let me get this straight.  You've been trying for eighty years to blow up a country that's smaller than Switzerland.  A country full of your own co-religionists, a country where every adult citizen under the age of 55 is a soldier on eleven months' leave, a country whose airline security puts James Bond to shame... and this challenge has somehow evaded you... so you decided to have a go at England?  We've been dodging your shots since the 19-teens... they've been dodging your shots since the bloody Crusades!  You think we've had practice putting our lives back together: meet the guys who've been doing it for a thousand years!  You pathetic little morons!  The Spanish Armada didn't faze the English, the Nazis didn't faze the English, and you think they're going to pay any attention to you?  Ha!  Israel is with you, England!  Mamash sababa!"
