We had one today at college, not sure what happened but i think they found something in the toilets. Just wondering if anyone else has had one at work etc and what happened?

Grumble.
Its really annoying as it takes so long before your allowed back in the building. Guess thats life though.
Was thinking a few of you lads would have a different perspective on it
On a smaller scale was old enough to remember bomb scares pretty much every weekend in Manchester, every week or so in Bolton and every day whenever I visited London - even remembered having to run to the tube with my brother as they were shutting every station down in central London one by one.
Obviously calmed down a lot now - though I'd imagine not much up your way z-
Someone fucked with a hydrogen canister, so it leaked and we had to evacuate. I'll never forget the teachers running around screaming, "It's not a drill, girls, get out! Get out quickly!" So much for remaining calm... Sadly, the chemistry block didn't explode.
We noticed it and teacher hit the fire alarms and screamed 'get out NOW'. It's all good and calm.
We had one at work the other week (turned out to be a drill staged by the General Manager but no one knew) that was fun getting all the swimmers out onto the park.
Can't say it affected me too badly
Also, we had a bomb scare in school when i was in 6th form. Got us out of an afternoon of school, nothing happened, it was a big hoax
Oh yeah, and one of our bunsen burners caught fire at school and we were evacuated cos they couldn't find the gas stop off!
Kid didn't do course work and was scared about getting in trouble so made a bomb, peice of shit bomb but still enough to need a controled explosion lol.. he got a few years I believe.
I'd count that as more of a bombing than a scare as they're WAS a bomb
aye its been ridiculous at times.. i've been evacuated from my house a few times for controlled explosions to be made on stuff left in my street.. and thats only the start of it!
not too bad these days but they're still at it every once in a while
the weird thing is that it seems normal enough to me!
Was out in town when this bomb went off: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1636919.stm
was lucky no-one was near but it was all evacuated
'Oh, we've had a bombscare, sorry'.
Oh how I cried.
We organised our own when we were at school. We all paid some lad in our class a quid to do it. He made some money and we got an hour off the crappest lesson of the week. Naturally the school knew it was a hoax and I'm pretty sure they knew who it was but they couldn't prove it. Ha ha. The scary thing was, we were usually pretty good kids who did nothing wrong.
Someone tried to petrol bomb the night club that I used to work in too. That was lame.
apparently around that time there were letter bombs being sent out to big executives in the area (cant remember why!!) and my dad was one of the people that was expected to get one!!
we had got a big parcel in the post and my dad was suspicious of it so had called the police.
was scary as hell. the police officers made us all go upstairs while they took the supposed 'bomb' outside to detonate it.
.. turned out it was something else that my mum had bought off ebay :yeees:
at high school we also had quite a few bomb scares. none of which involved actual bombs. just some stupid arseholes who thought it would be funny to make us all stand out in the rain for an hour or so
did get assulted at college today, but i suppose those things happen...
It turns out that the mysterious white powder was chalkdust. Who would have thought, chalkdust in a school! I'm sure someone lost their job as an immediate result of the incident.
