Earthquake!
 

Earthquake just rattled the windows, wobbled the block, scared the birds out of the trees. First time I've felt a good rock and roll since Guatemala. Damn, they're unnerving - and kinda
excitingly sexy, too.

Earthquakes in Salford? It's the end times, brother and sisters....

Suerte, Dan (still shivering like a shitting dog)

PS It's too late to call anyone, and I felt the need to share this oddness with someone, and you'll do.

Err...are you sure? Perhaps something blew up? Are sure a Juggly Nut hasn't ploughed into your little redbrick terrace?

Evenin brother.

Thought the Scousers had declared war! But nope, proper earthquake - 5.0. Epicentre in Sheffield, maybe?

Proper, proper weird.

How's Bogota?

Tranquila. Just chilling out, monitoring your rash of posts. Cookin' me tea. You not sleeping?

Nocturnal at the moment, working.

Choppers are out - Langworthy must be looting...

30 minutes on, and I'm still sitting here with ears buzzing, swearing out loud.

You working?

Scousers don't werk. We are far too canny for that.

4.7 on the richter scale - epicentre near Lincoln.

You're doing the scouse jokes for me - where's the fun in that? I'll send you the forms, and you can get your whiplash compo claim in...

You got a bike out there?

I am however working on becoming a Hotelier, in a benevolent capitalistic way - ill-gotten gains from Stoke house sale. But shoosh! I don't want to get secuestroed.

LOL!! I have my sickly KLR in Santa Marta. In fact if the feckin' parts from the US hadn't gone astray, that's were I'd be. Club Colombia in one hand, a costena in the other.

Magnitude 4.7 - ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM

Linked proof that I'm not mental...

Blimey...
 

that was quick! There must be a very worried sheep somewhere up there. Are you going to report your experience?

Suddenly a new relationship was formed with the cops. We became invisible. As close as I'll ever come to riding through a real Mad Max movie.

I felt that quake last night and I'm near Cannock. I was in bed listening to the Eels on my i-pod, I thought someone had spiked my Guinness.

I felt it. So did my house as I now have a 9 foot long crack in a structural wall..... bollocks.

Bloody hell! I hope you're insured for that. Otherwise you'll have to have a bulk order of this...

For days after anarchy reined. No rules in that part of the City. Absolutely exhilarating.
