there were two earthquake threads, they have been merged together :)

ah yeah sorry my bad didnt relise when i posted this :)

The mrs woke me up to say "something's rattling the cupboard doors". Then promptly turned over and went back to sleep. In the meantime I'm lying there thinking "cool! an earthquake!". Asked her this morning what she thought of it but she can't remember anything. Now she's p*ssed off she missed it ... LOL :)

 

Reminds me of the 5 years I spent in living in Greece. Experienced a lot of earthquakes much more violent than this one. But then again, different type of earthquakes and different type of ground so likely to feel different. Worst one was an 8-second 6.8 - needed new undercrackers after that one ...

An Appeal For Your Help

 

A major earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale, hit in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Epicentre: Barnsley, England.

 

News of the disaster was swiftly carried abroad by the towns 35000 racing pigeons, as victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering "fookinhell" and "choofinnorah".

 

The earthquake decimated the town causing £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearic Isles and the Spanish Costa's were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historical burnt out cars were disturbed.

 

Many locals were woken well before their Giro arrived. Radio Barnsley reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Barnsley. One resident, 15 year old mother of three, Tracey Sharon Braithwaite, said, "It was such a shock my little Chardonnay Madonna came running into my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Kilroy the next morning". Locals were determined not to be bowed as looting, muggings and car crime carried on as normal.

 

So far whilst the British Red Cross has managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the areas to relieve the suffering of stricken locals,rescue workers searching through the rubble have found large quantities of personal belongings including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and bone china from poundstretcher.

 

Can you help?

Please respond generously to our appeal for food and clothing for the victims of this disaster.

 

Clothing is needed most of all - especially

 

* Burberry or Fila baseball caps

* Kappa tracksuit tops (his or hers)

* Shell suits (female)

* White sports socks

* Rockfort boots or any other product sold at Primark

 

Culturally sensitive food parcels are harder to put together, but your efforts will make a difference. Microwave meals, tinned beans, ice cream and cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew are ideal. Please do not give anything that needs peeling.

 

Remember

* 22p buys a biro for filling in compensation claims

* £2 buys chips, crisps and a blue fizzy drink for a family of 9

* £5 will pay for a packet of B & H and a lighter to calm a child’s nerves.

 

Urgently required: Tinned whippet food. Bones for Jack Russells.

 

Please do not send tents for shelter. The sight of such posh housing will cause discontent in the surrounding South Yorkshire communities.

The girlfriend woke me up asking what it was, I told her something must have fallen over downstairs and went back to sleep.

She was pleased with herself in the morning when she heard it was an earth quake on the radio.

Nothing here at all, not a ding nor a dong.

I felt it too... just a bit confused really, house shook for 10 seconds, thought my desk was going to collapse!

 

Quite strange, wasnt sure if it was some low flying large aircraft they tend to make as much of a droning noise somtimes! Odd a friend of mine amile away didnt feel a thing, yet the rest of the coutnry did... Obviously his house is built on mush!

I slept right through it , the missus and cats woke up though :D
