14:32 The smoke at the RBS Building is apparently smoke canisters. Nothing's on fire - just a few windows broken. #
14:33 For those of you just tuning in from the US, there are protests all over Central London. There have been scuffles, but not serious yet. #
14:34 BBC News 24 says that a few separate groups of protesters are being penned in bits of C London so they can't meet up. #
14:36 Apparently, with all this, the police can still be worried about journalists 'inflaming' the situation, so the pictures aren't up to much. #
14:42 If this yutz doesn't stop with the 'nukular' pronunciation, I'm going to hurt someone. #
14:42 (Young British yutz outside Downing Street. Hi, @pickwick!) #
14:43 Nuclear, Mr Man. Pronounced Nu-Clear. Is that so hard?!? #
14:46 So ... the protesters can't actually march. They're getting frustrated and restive. Will they fight back or go home? Yeesh. #
14:49 Oh, also for the Americans? The definition the BBC site is using for 'missile' is the ORIGINAL definition. #
14:50 'An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped or otherwise projected at a target'. In short, WATER BOTTLES. #
14:54 @Asmenedas Well, there was apparently also a banana. And a couple of smoke canisters. 'Missile' is the catch-all. #
14:55 @dodgyhoodoo Newsmen say that people are being allowed to leave, but not confirmed. Also, suspected ringleaders are being nabbed. 13 arrests #
14:57 @pickwick Gives you great confidence in the press, dunnit? #
15:48 @sohmer Twelve years under the jackboot of New Labour, basically. The war(s), the economy, being ignored and lied to for over 10 years. #
17:42 ...I <3 the April Fools' Day stuff on ThinkGeek more than I do their actual products. #
17:43 I wanted an EZ-Bake Oven so badly as a kid but was never allowed. Now I want this: tinyurl.com/3hk4l BUT IT'S NOT REAL! #
17:43 THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE... (etc) #
17:52 ...Okay, the periodic table fridge magnets exist. And I want them. I don't know why, but I do. #
17:53 ...I r ded of geek. #
17:54 tinyurl.com/4xx9l3 ...Dismember-Me Plus ZOMBIE. EEEEEEEEE! #
18:07 @jchutchins Well, given the Power of the Internet, if ThinkGeek doesn't actually start making them, someone else will. There is a market. #
18:08 @jchutchins (Though I hold out little hope for my PC EZ-Bake Oven.) #
18:25 @happysphere ...I'D buy the PC EZ-Bake Oven. And the Habitrail case mod. #
