I've experienced a few nere in Leic. in the past. The last one (about 2 years ago) was f**kin' scary. Really gives the impression the world's about to end.

Gives me the *******; don't like it one iota (state the obvious).

Even though it's obviously low on the scale, what transpires in reality is not pleasant.

The vibrations and noises are genuinely unsettling.

PETERLEE DISASTER APPEAL


As you are probably aware a massive earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale struck Peterlee. The earthquake decimated the entire area causing about 30 quids worth of damage. Several priceless collections of ashtrays from the Balearics and Tenerife were damaged beyond repair.


Three historic areas of burnt out cars, some over seven years old were disturbed. Many locals were awoken before their Giro's arrived. SKY reported that hundreds of locals were confused, bewildered and still trying to come to terms with the loss of Ladbrokes.

One resident a Miss Sharon Smith, a 15 year old grandmother of six said "It was a shock to my little Chardonnay Mercedes. She came into my room crying and put me and Winston off our stroke but my youngest two Tyler Morgan and Brooklyn Romeo Rainbow luckily slept through it all. I was still shaking
whilst watching Trisha the next day".

Apparently looting, mugging and car crime did carry on as normal.

The Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4000 crates of lager into the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have recovered large amounts of belongings including Benefit
Books, jewellery by Elizabeth Duke at Argos and finest bone china from Mad Harry's.


HOW CAN YOU HELP?


This appeal is to raise money for food and clothes parcels for those caught up in the disaster. Clothing is urgently needed and amongst the most sought after items are;
* Fila or Burberry Baseball Caps
* Kappa Tracksuit Tops (his and hers)
* Adidas Trackie Bottoms 3/4 length,
* White Socks
* Rockport Boots
* and anything else from SportsDirect


Food parcels must take into consideration local tastes and should include Micro Meals, Pot Noodles, Baked Beanz, Super Noodles, Sausage Rolls and Greggs pasties for the babies. Special brew or Thunderbird would also be gratefully received.


Every little helps. Remember:
* 22p buys a biro to help fill in a compensation form
* £2.00 buys chips with curry and blue Panda pop for a family of nine
* £5.00 buys 20 B&H and a box of Swan Vestas to calm the nerves of a grieving ten year old


THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

It is certainly alarming when you feel something like that which is beyond any power to control.

They have them regularly in parts of New Zealand and get used to them.

I remember that one we had a few years ago.

I was playing counterstrike online with some friends, we were all on Ventrillo (VOIP app a bit like Skype).

One of them was in Manchester said wow we just had a earth quake. Everyone started taking the ****, then another one of the lads felt it.

Then not long after I felt it up here in Sunderland.

Quite a weird experience.
