I'm going to be that 'crazy' guy, but there was a lot of lightning that night and after double checking a picture I got of it - its kinda in the direction of the theatre. There was two strikes in the area one massive one (which I missed as I was setting up the camera - and a smaller one which I got). I can't make out (much) depth in the image though so if you take rides to the right (which is in hyde park) and the other things to the left its possible (though unlikely). I'm about to board a 10 hour flight but I'ma try to upload it now (or in 10 hours). Edit: You can also use batersea powerstation behind it to gauge depth.

[QUOTE=RaptorBlackz;43245819]Britain folk are nice, But their accent+[B]lisp[/B] pisses me off every now and than.[/QUOTE] British accents are amazing. Except for that one accent. That one really vapid sounding one. That one retroactively justifies the Blitz.
I was in greenwich as this happened last night and watched it unfold on the news while I was at work, was pretty crazy with the news reporters fumbling around repeating themselves trying to get the correct details. To add to the accent conversation: My accent is like a very slight mix of cockney and Kentish. I would have no idea how to explain that to an outsider without just speaking to them other than just calling it a southern accent, basically a standard British accent without the 'poshness' and the end of words dropped off sometimes.

[QUOTE=RaptorBlackz;43245819]Britain folk are nice, But their accent+[B]lisp[/B] pisses me off every now and than.[/QUOTE] I assume you're talking about the Queen's English which is only spoken by very posh people and newsreaders. There are hundreds of different accents in the UK, I'm from Manchester in the UK and even though it's not that big of a place, each different area has a different individual accent and dialect. [t]http://i.imgur.com/fEzAEax.jpg[/t] If you took someone from Salford and someone from Oldham and put them together, you wouldn't think that they only live 20 minutes away from each other. It's like this all over the country.
[QUOTE=Talkbox;43250724]Am I the only British person who finds this shit fucking hilarious?[/QUOTE] probably, because that post seemed like it came from some kind of humor robot [i]"An [ACCIDENT] in [BRITAIN]? [ACCESSING HUMOROUS STEREOTYPE DATABASE] The accident must have been caused by all the [FISH AND CHIPS]! Perhaps [THE QUEEN] did it! I hope [BANGERS AND MASH] made it out of there alive!"[/i]
[QUOTE=paindoc;43245368]Wrong time to talk shit about the british mate. They have a hell of a lot more there than just fish and chips and bad teeth like the worlds best curry short of india itself. Pubs with actual character. History all around them, far more than any place in the US. And friendly people that made a 6 year old American feel welcome when he was terrified. So fuck you dude, and I hope all the people injured in this turn out fine and that those in serious condition don't get any worse.[/QUOTE] agree, I mean except for the 'friendly people' bit, maybe it's just a southern thing but most people here are cunts
Woops wrong flagdog

[QUOTE=paindoc;43245368]History all around them, far more than any place in the US[/QUOTE] this is kinda easy for a country that has existed for literally hundreds of years more [editline]20th December 2013[/editline] i don't get how talking about britain's pride justified the random attack on a different country but nice thought process
