    This morning. About One O'Clock. So you didn't feel it either then? It figures...

    (Looks like it was just me that didn't notice then).

    :D awww... hedgehog rescue? Hedgehog's are cute... we'd one growing up... well it was obviously wild but we'd leave milk out and it'd come up and drink it and it wasn't too bothered by us at all once it got its milk :D

    anyway... ahem :o back on topic.

    Glad everyone's ok... and let's hope this is the last of the earthquakes

    I was on the 'phone to this sax player mate of mine in Spain, and I was sitting on the living room floor. I didn't so much feel the vibrations beneath me as above me. I could hear things moving about upstairs, and the chair beside me shook.

    I said to the sax player, "I think we just had an earth tremor here in England", and he nearly pissed himself laughing at me. (That's British ex-pats for you.)

    Mind you, when my big brother comes to visit, and he starts snoring, the walls start shaking and there's not that much difference.

    ok rescuing the odd hedgehog i can understand.... and maybe setting it free again straight away i can understand.. but what on fucking earth is a Hedgehog Rescue Centre!!!! are there even that many that need rescued???? i' would have guessed about 6 a month and all of them would be from a cattle grid...


    hedgehog rescue centre??? seriously?

    thats made my day that has :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    your reply has made mine :D

    I think ive seen more dead ones than alive ones so whats the point in setting up a rescue centre?? :confused:

    They always seem to get far too squished to be rescued anyway, poor little critters...


    edit* oh and yeah i felt the earthquake *quickly getting back on topic* i thought my dog had just come running into the room and the floor had made my monitor shake a bit. I even looked out the window as i thought someone was outside making my pc shake :o wierd.........

    I was awake at the time but didn't feel it which shows how drunk I was :o
    I am hoping that it was the source of what I though was my flatmate banging on the wall for me to turn my music down though :p

    Mind you, there's a downside. Imagine the bed suddenly dropping two feet beneath her arse and bouncing back up again. You'd end up concertina-ing the ole man portion ...

    40 miles outside London and nothing. Mind you I loved the news report this morning. An excited looking reporter interviewing a woman who was wearing a Celtic towel and the camera zooming in on small pile of bricks that was a chimney.

    The people of SF, Turkey and various other places must laugh their nuts off at us.
