Earthquake! Take cover!
scotty g - 28/4/07 at 10:09 AM

blimey, only had an earthquake this morning, shook the house like a rag doll!
4.7 so quite a big one by UK standards, got the fire brigade a few doors down making chimney pots safe.
Can't believe my garage didn't fall down, it been on the brink of self destruction for years but its still there! BUGGAR.

So there will be a lot of ladies in Folkestone this morning who can for once honestly answer "YES" to the question "did the earth move for you too ?"

Can't you go outside and lean on it a bit? You can then say to the insurance people "it was weakened by the quake, it was OK yesterday!"

the whole town of folkestone had a total power blackout yet the tunnel trains were still running, a friend of mine is one of the drivers, he said they just diverted power from the French end of the tunnel, maybe we should all do that! Free leccy!

Act of God not a valid exclusion anymore! someone went to court and proved that God didn't exist!
