@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 We just had an Earthquake in the UK, bizzare thing it was, just wondering who felt it... I'm in South Yorkshire!

Gorth Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Shake, rattle and roll! How much on the Richter scale? I've been away from Wellington so long that I've almost forgotten what earthquakes feels like “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 4.7 nothing major, just a bit of a minor shock "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) It wouldn't be the first time: (in 2002) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2275158.stm Edit: and the current one for good measure: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6602677.stm "At first I thought a lorry had crashed into the back of our house, but having lived in New Zealand I soon realised what it was. The entire house shook." Edited February 27, 2008 by Gorth “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Nick_i_am Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was in kent for their last big one. The local papers were full of pictures of the destruction. Which was pretty much limited to a wobbly chimmny falling off a roof. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 5.2 richter. I thought it was just me being over-tired. Unlike everyone else getting out of bed I went straight TO bed.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 I wasn't in bed at the time, and mostly I was curious if anyone else was awake... It really wasn't major... Just not the sort of thing that happends that often. "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.
