Just saw this weeks Inbetweeners. It was funny but this season has been pretty weak compared to the second one. Hope they finish it on a high.

You wouldn't think this if you didn't come from there/have family there.

I was born in Chennai and it's sheer stubbornness that is stopping me from cursing it. Filthy, the traffic is terrible, the politics are crap but I still won't let go :S

Whatever it may be, I love everything about Chennai. Except the politicians that have painted every wall in the city... WTF is that?

Not that filthy, traffic isn't bad at all. Spend some time in mumbai or better yet Bangalore and you'll know about traffic.

I dont like mumbai that much... Really western but parts of that city are downright disgusting and sad. Will and character of mumbaikars is something else though, great people.

Ah chennai. Can't wait to go back. Hopefully in march!!

For me (personally), I hate Chennai (and even Vizag) only because of its climate. I'm habituated to normal climate (with optimum levels of humidity). But When I step there, I sweat just like how Makhaya Ntini does. Not just Chennai, when I visit any place in East Coast, I fell uncomfortable. Thats the main reason I don't visit Chennai/Vizag too often even though I have some close relatives there.

Hmm, you're probably a bit more used to the traffic as it's a bit heavier than Melbourne in the States. But the fact that it takes 40 minutes to travel about 15-20km is ridiculous.

Thank god, you din't visit Hyderabad. Chennai is 1000 times better than Hyderabad when it comes to traffic. It'll take around one and half hour for traveling 20 KMs in Hyderabad.

Lucknow is better than metropolitan cities...
Its so peaceful.however the traffic is terrible here,no traffic police,no traffic lights,no traffic rule but I still love Lucknow and the way it is developed in recent years...

Lucknow has some peaceful essence in its air which I love very much..!
bottom line is,Lucknow is better than any other metropolitan cities.... :happy

I thought it was very good, but yeah, keeping content fresh is a challenge for any SitCom.

"Did you just punch a fish to death?"

I feel they are slightly over-doing the Jay character with his incessant sexual references. Not quite had the balance S2 had.

Holy crap there is a nutter with a gun walking around the library on campus. we've all been told to go inside, police have locked down the campus and surrounded the library. Its going down!

[ZoraxDoom]

My God. Hope no one's hurt.

not confirmed but that is what everyone is saying. Cops had him trapped on the 6th floor and he shot himself. Not sure if he got anyone though he fired a few shots 30 minutes ago as well

Mark added 2 Minutes and 40 Seconds later...

Ok apparently there are 2 suspects, one shot himself and the other is on the loose on campus somewhere. Streets are on lockdown so watching this all from the balcony. There are SWAT teams and snipers EVERYWHER

"According to a tweet from the Statesman, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said that one person was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot and that police are searching for an additional suspect."

For those of you who don't know, something similar happened here many years ago. Some nutter climbed the clocktower and shot a bunch of people with a rifle.

Cops have confirmed the person loose is armed and still on campus (has not breached perimeter) so I am stuck here until they find him.

Ok so apparently the 1st gunman walked into the library and opened fire with an automatic weapon. He didn't hit anyone and went to the 6th floor and shot himself.

2nd gunman is still on the loose.

This has all just been confirmed.
