Yeah J, it vibrates a bit more keenly than advertised on the box

Si - poltergeist spelling spot on

 

Yeah, sorry about that. My missus did say the earth moved for her but I thought that was just BS

...... I had a poo at about the same time... dunno if this is coincidence??

 

I didn't know there were quakes in the UK. I felt one here in Greece on Friday 26 Oct at 4.35pm. It was a 4.9er about 100km from where I'm at. It felt like someone was pushing the back of my lounge chair wanting me to get up.

 

Im well chuffed i read this post cause at 4.30 i was having a dose when i heard this almighty bang - I ran to the window expecting to see a lorry ripping my garage door off and some **** running in to nick my scoob!!!!(Paranoid) - at least it was only an earthquake then and nothing serious!

Earthquakes happen all year round in the UK, http://www.gsrg.nmh.ac.uk/hazard/faq1.htm#FAQ06

I believe that in the 1700's Chichester Cathedral spire collapsed due to an earthquake (and you really needed to know that)

And in NZ there's usually an earthquake every couple of weeks - from 5.0 - 6.5 on the Richter scale (and NZ House keep very quiet about this when naive Poms go for their immigration visas)

 

Certainly did, I rushed into the kitchen as I was cooking sunday dinner (first time) as the misses was busy with the new born, I thought I had blown the kitchen up.

 

I was driving around the Castle Donnington/Melbourne area at the time and never felt a thing, I must have been airborne then
