Earthquake!!!

[Buleste]

I know that this is the wrong thread for this but about 00:58 the Staffordshire Moorlands (or at least me) experianced a 'quake that whilst not a major one shook stuff of the walls and scarred the shit out of me. The whole ****ing house rumbled and shook for about 5 seconds. Thats the second quake in about 10 years in a country that is no where near a fault line. I need a valium. Right thats me done for the night. Just thought i'd let you know.

I slept through it

First thing I heard about this was when people were talking about it on the radio (when I was asleep - I seem to be able to pay attention to the radio whilst sleeping), then it was on the news at 7.

I was asleep when the earthquake happened.

It would have been better if you'd been shaking the earth in your bed.

But it is true that i would have thought there would've been a few more earth moving for you puns.

Sadly we didn't experience it on the south coast. For some strange reason I've always wanted to experience a real earthquake/tremor.

I heard about it at about 1am when i got home from work this morning and switched on Sky News.
