Wow! I think a 4.7 or a 5.3 (whatever it turns out to be) would be scary. Hope everyone is OK. |

Ah! I woke up and saw the news.... Very sad... Though it says it happened a little in London, people around my area wasn't affected, thank God. :) |

A whole 5.3 magnitude - one broken pelvis and about £10m of damage - not quite on the same par as China, Japan, Iran, Pakistan.......!! It woke Mrs Shrek up, which of course meant she had to wake me up, but by the time she managed that I'd missed it. |
| Freya is quietly judging you. 27.02.2008 10:53 |
I think I slept through it, I don't know, I woke up at about 1am, so maybe it was because of the earthquake. I'm sure I would have been too tired to notice, to be fair. |

URGENT - EARTHQUAKE APPEAL AT 00.54 ON WEDNESDAY 27 FEBRUARY A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE HIT MEASURING 5.2 ON THE RICHTER SCALE EPICENTERED ON BARNSLEY. The Earthquake decimated the area, causing approximately £30 worth of damage, with the exception of the town centre, where approx. £375,000 of improvements were made. Untold disruption and distress was caused. Many were woken well before their giro arrived. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costas were damaged. Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed. Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Barnsley. One resident, Mary-Alice Tittershaw, a 17 year old mother-of-three said: "It was such a shock, little Chelsea came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Shauni slept through it. I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning." Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal. The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of White Lightning Cider to the area to help the stricken masses. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings including benefit books and jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos. HOW YOU CAN HELP Clothing is most sought after. Items required include: Sovvy rings Baseball caps Shell suits Tesco two stripe trainers White socks Chunky gold chains Food parcels may be harder to put together but are necessary all the same.

Please send your credit card number and a sample signature. THIS APPEAL IS MADE ON BEHALF OF THE BARNSLEY EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS FUND. |

major earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale hit in the early hours of this morning, with the epicentre in Camborne. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering, "Was on boy?" and "Bleddy 'Ell!!". The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately £30 pounds worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Ford Escort Appreciation Society and the Camborne Community Hall was damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheques arrived. Radio Cornwall reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in the area. One resident, Tracey Sharon Salmon, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler Morgan and Megan Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Jerry Springer the next morning on my 42 inch flat screen Panasonic". Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime carried on as normal. The red cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Marmite to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, which include; benefit books, Cornwall Rugby shirts, jewellery from Argos and bone china from an extinct shop called "Big W". *****************HOW CAN YOU HELP***************** This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunates caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after. Items most needed include;- baseball caps, tracksuit tops (his and hers), Shell suits (female), white sport socks, sturdy boots and any other items usually sold in Op shops. Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include, Crisps, Donner Kebabs, Mcdonalds, KFC, Ice cream and cans of Red Bull, Bacardi Breezer or Special Brew. If you would prefer to donate money, 25 pence buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms, £5.00 buys chips, saveloys and gherkins, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9; £10.00 will pay for a packet of Benson and Hedges and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected. just got this version in an email.didnt take long did it? |
