well i just fair pooped my pants...

whole house just shook like a jelly for some reason.

has anyone else noticed the end of the world occuring? Or am i the first to report this.

This has been Goat, reporting live to you from the earthquake struck state of Yorkshire

now back to the studio..........

Coventry was hit as well. Lying on the sofa watching a DVD, everything starts shaking! Caused a certain amount of concern, as we live on the third floor....

No earthquake, but I did just fair pooped my pants.  

Didn't know you got 'em over there.

we dont as a rule...


its probably global warming.....

or the wrath of god!

Me too!!!!

My bed rolled around and it's a very very heavy solid wooden drawers filled with me on top.

Then I went to the loo  and it backed up and I wondered if it wasn't an earthquake but a broken sewer pipe filled with GKW and the building was floating on top of a sea of sewage.

Then I though, maybe it was a bomb, but there was no bang.

Then I looked on BBC NEWS 24, BBC Online and Reuters, de nada.

Then I thought it was an hallucination.

Then I looked here !!!!!!

Thank goodness for Goat - thank you for getting the news out fast.

What the hell do we fund media companies for?

There are eathquakes here. Around 4.6 is reckoned high.

Read my friend Lisa Jardine on earthquakes in the UK.

It is a conspiracy, perhaps an underground nuclear test...

Well, I did think at one stage it might be a large creature* invading the drawers in the bed underneath me but then the air conditioner shifted places on the wall. I did vaguely consider the air conditioner and the bed being in league - but my paranoia is under control.

That must cause tremors, regardless of tectonics (or is it the coordinated marching in the streets?).

Reuters have picked it up.

Magnitude of 4.7 Epicentre was 205 km (127 miles) north of London and 80 km (50 miles) east of Sheffield.


Brit.Geol.Survey: reported on BBC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
magnitude of 5.1 and said the epicentre was close to Grimsby in north-east Lincolnshire.

A spokesman said it was the biggest earthquake to hit England since 1990 and could be of a level to cause minor damage to buildings.

Someone needs to improve their maths (sic)

Goat must have phoned them

Where is Beagle??

What about the assorted Pirates??

Moms worry. That's what us Fake Momz do...

Wow! I've been through fire, floods, tornadoes and plagues of grasshoppers, but so far . . . no earthquakes.

I goggled for "what to do in an earthquake" and the first site was from FEMA.
Yeah.
That's what I thought, too.

Further down the page I saw one from San Francisco, and who would know better?

QuoteDURING THE QUAKE
Indoors
If you are in bed, hold on, stay there, protect your head with a pillow.

PETS: During and after
Don't try to hold your pet during a quake. Animals instinctively want to hide when their safety is threatened. If you get in their way, even the nicest pets may hurt you.

Keep us updated!

But I needed my head to look around and work out if it wasn't just the room up to stuff to trick me

The Saar territory has earthquake trouble too at the moment. The official explanation is that they are caused by the coalmining. As a result the mining will be stopped prematurely after almost 600 years.
Hm, maybe Bush is doing some nukkular tests he can't do at home.

'earthquake' now reclassified as 5.2 centered in Market rasen in lincolnshire.....

i am all for the nuclear test theory. If I wanted to do one I would choose lincolnshire.

it is very flat, boring, only inhabited by cabbages, yokels and rape (the plant)

they would hardly notice!
