Earthquake
Did any of you feel the earthquake last night? I did all my lights and my computer turned off as the generator was damaged but luckily the backup generator remained unaffected

Re: Earthquake
I'm in Edinburgh, a city built largely on rock as opposed to flood plain. Also I was probably drunk.
Yeah didn't feel it.

Re: Earthquake
I thought a small rugby team was attacking the house at first. It didn't last long enough though. I wanted to go driving in it. I wasn't in the UK for the 2001 so at least I got to experience this one.

You live in the UK and use a generator?
Do you live on a farm?

Being several floors up, if you felt it then I think your flat was not a great investment/structurally sound.

125 miles really isn't very far from an American point of view.

I know, but as an 'American approximation', it puts about half of England near London, which I wouldn't have thought 'd be that helpful as a "this is roughly where it happened" indicator.

explaining idiocy is hardly justification for idiocy.
a mile on foot is a mile on foot, perhaps if they ever walked then they wouldn't make such mistakes

Re: Earthquake
Clearly the BBC thinks London psychically dominates the landscape for 150+ miles around. You cannot escape the ant-hill that is the Greater London conurbation...its coming for you, creeping ever closer, and before you know it Essex will have sprawled into East Anglia creating a new breed of Greater Londoners: half-Yokel, half-Chav and all voting for our Dark Lord and Master, Red Ken Livingstone. The end of the world is nigh, and anyone driving a 4x4 will be the first into the Pit, while those driving 1l engined bio-fuel burning green cars will be Raptured up in their stupid little eco-cars, to sneer at gas guzzlers as they die in a war.

through careful manipulation of users' email accounts, horn will now have a large number of new gd passwords. and a new supply of capital which he plans to eventually use for gene therapy. but at the moment horn's much more interested in all the new gd accounts he's gained.
horn is now.... everywhere.
it'll start off quite innocently. you'll find the odd post here and there, but nothing quite so obvious, and after a while the "it's horn" meme will age. but this won't be enough for horn. he'll want more. and more. and then one day you'll wake up, look in the mirror and you'll see....
horn.
one day, years after the shock of it has faded and you've quit work and started to live off benefit, you'll see a man who looks strangely familiar crossing the road. too familiar. and those friends of his, they look quite familiar, too.
the thought will linger on in your mind. but what can you do? nothing. at least you're life isn't completely meaningless; there's always gd. and what with all the positive rep you gain daily and your strange hankering for rap music and your irc friends who know a scary amount of detail about your life, it's not that bad really...
