One of the things that always sticks in my head about the Oklahoma bombing was that Timothy McVeighs wife was cebuana.

:omg: ... Oslo was where my late, first wife and me spent our honeymoon a week before Christmas 1967! Or rather :rolleyes: ... it was our port of destination on a short mini-cruise sailing from Newcastle's Tyne Commission Quay ... so we were only actually in the Norwegian Capital for approximately one-and-a-half days in total. But from what we saw of it, it gave the impression of being a nice, peaceful [smallish] city. Who'd ever have thought that all those decades later, it'd be the focus for a horrific massacre on such a scale! :NoNo:

Indeed it was MY first - and my late wife's ONLY - trip abroad. So it has fond memories for me. :rolleyes: And now ... looking at the photograph of the perpetrator of this terrible carnage, :grosyeux: I can scarcely believe that such a handsome, fresh-faced, clean-cut young man could be responsible for wreaking such havoc! :cwm24:
