I hope that Stockton gets washed away by a freak tidal wave coming up The Tees.

I'm going back to Newcastle tommorow so I wouldn't have to face any such situation.

It's flooded here and we're nowhere near a river. 'Bitching'. Oh, and judging by Newcastle's pitch I doubt you're safe there Mr. Manson.

When the mississippi flooded about 10 years ago we had a guy blast a dike down. He did this to wash out a bridge so he wouldnt have to go home to see his wife. It turned out that by flooding that area it relieved the pressure on the other dikes up and down the river. However the guy still got 50 years in prison for his little escapade.

50 years just for blowing up a dike? That seems a bit harsh--unless there were fatalities...
