So the other night (well, maybe a few weeks ago now) I was at home making dinner and I got a phone call from Danni who said:
"I thought of you this evening" and I said "Oh, that's nice! Why?" and she went on to tell me that she was watching news coverage of an armed siege in North England (hmmm...seems like we've been having bad luck here as of late). She told me that she had known someone who was part of an armed siege and then, as she put it "I remembered it was actually me who was part of an armed siege when I lived in Toronto".
Apart from thinking it a very odd thing to forget, I thought it was odd altogether...especially to happen in Canada!
Basically when she was living in Toronto, she was waiting for a bus (or taxi - whichever came first) when suddenly a police man with a large....
...machine gun came to her (and the other few people waiting) and told them to come with him immediately. So, they went and hid behind a wall or a large bush or something and watched while he spoke into his radio thing and, when a girl tried to ask an innocent question (probably to the effects of "what is happening?" or "Will we die"?) he said "please be quiet. I need to concentrate". At least he said please!
Anyways, after a while he told them they could leave, but they should not stay in the area any longer than they had to be.
Long story made short: I thought it was very amusing that she had forgotten about this until now...
