…but at least life in Boro is never boring:

Men held over suspicious package
A suspicious package dumped outside a shopping centre on Teesside has been detonated in a controlled explosion.

Police were called to Middlesbrough Mall Shopping Centre on Friday after three men said they had a bomb.

Armed officers arrived within minutes and arrested the men, who had dropped a carrier bag outside the centre.

Bomb disposal experts from Cattrick carried out a controlled explosion. Police do not believe there was an explosive device inside the bag.

Officers were also investigating a second bomb threat at Middlesbrough bus station in Newport Road.

But after a search involving sniffer dogs nothing was found.

The three arrested men, all in their 20s, were being questioned by police.

I hate never being able to remember my dreams. I know I came up with a good story idea last night, but now I can’t sodding well remember it. Grrr!

I’ve also got myself strangely sddicted to Degrassi: TNG, even though I’ve only seen season 1 (I watched the whole season straight through in one sitting). Guess I just have a weird thing for Canadian melodrama.

Or maybe I just have a weird thing for girls who say aboot.

Apart from that, not much happening with me, so I’ll sign off here.
