Heard a huge bang while I was in the centre tonight just after 6pm. Nothing on the news so probably not significant but anybody know what it was?

Oh and car related. There was a Lambo coming down Roundhay Rd not long after that. Think it was a Murci but it was dark and wet so didn't get a good look.

I was half listening to the local news at 11pm, they said something about a big bang and that there was nothing to worry about. Sorry, didn't pay enough attention to recall the complete explanation.

S'okay, I've called my own taxi.

Nothing to worry about, just been on the local news that it was a police training exercise/simulation thing! Kind of reassuring but then again maybe not when you think about it!!?

I heard a shit load of them! There must have been around a dozen or so. One shook my building! Anyone know where this was being done and what exactly it entailed?

Yeah i heard the sounds as well at something like 3 in the morning,

I wonder what kind of police exercises they were supposed to be?

It was training for an expected alien invasion later this year.

What a lovely image that must put in your head.

I've just seen your profile about your griff, what litre is the V8 Developments engine? is it 4.6 or still 5.0. Do you know what power they put out?

Its just I get the use of my mates griff that was origionally built for Peter Wheeler which has a 4.6, but registered as a 500, and it would be nice to find out some facts about it.

I didn't hear it myself - was it some form of gaseous simulation by the boys in blue?
