    For every bomb still rearing it's head in England, German cities are suffering thrice, to say the least.

    If you listen very carefully Ranger, you can still hear the faint sound of "Oh Bobby Zamora" echoing around the place.

    Yeah, cos you hear of wartime bombs being found over there all the time.

    The prime aggressor in WW2, and the first to attack civilian population centres, were the Nazis. regrettable as it is, war is a dirty business - especially the way they fought it - and we had to hit them hard to keep the war to just six years. As durbar said - you reap what you sow.

    Good job they found this bomb. The last thing they need is this happening on a match day...

    Guys, it was meant to be a bit of light relief for the BH w/e! Please can we de-escalate from DEFCON 2?

    Does anyone know when / if an un-exploded bomb from WW2 actually exploded and hurt anyone? Can't recall it ever happening.

    Out of complete curiosity, with anyone under about 87 having no bearing on the Nazis, when does Germany stop reaping what it sowed?

    I assume there must be a set number of years because we've forgiven the Romans.

    A happy ending it would appear:-

    An unexploded Second World War bomb discovered yesterday evening in Wembley is expected to be detonated outside the capital this afternoon.


    Experts removed the device from near Wembley Stadium at around 2pm and police have now declared the area safe.

    Ch Supt Mick Gallagher revealed the 50kg bomb is thought to have been dropped in 1941.
    It posed a "genuine risk to life", according to the Army, and could have reached heights of 330 metres if it went off.

    Ch Supt Gallagher said: "I recognise the disruption this incident will have had on local communities and am very grateful for the cooperation and understanding we saw.
