[Cylon]

Any one in the UK feel the earthquake last night, i slept through it but some people at school said the felt it. Aparently it was 5.2 on the ricter scale.
BBC NEWS | England | Earthquake felt across much of UK

Well, apparently a few people within a mile of me felt it, though I didn't. I either slept through it, or it wasn't felt here.

The end of the world is nigh?

I was more interested in the reporting that followed it, and a quite serious paper trying to explain the quake solely in terms of shifting plates... despite the fact there really aren't any plates anywhere near Lincolnshire...

Edit: (oops, that didn't come out quite right, but I hear they eat on the floor instead )

I was still awake, so I felt it. Shook the whole area, felt like someone was pushing the bed.

I woke and actually thought it was the wind, so went back to sleep, I'd be great in a crisis wouldn't I!!!!

I know what you are saying, but dont worry the press are making a big enough meal out of it, the way they keep going on, you would think the UK is now on the San Adreas fault (i think thats spelt right), well, they will keep on with it until someone shoots at prince Harry, all hail the press and the peanuts they call brains............

 

[Cylon]

Ah well if it wasnt for our wondeful British press we would have to fdind out about boring unimportant things like the rest of the world.

Tbh the media is a joke (no offence) The way i see it is, we only ever see teh news of when somethings gone wrong, which, to the vast number of the population, is all that happens, like the police never catch people, they only ever fumbles. etc.

one of my hosue mates is a Journalism student, and he is wanting to go into TV news/Newspapers. And he has never even heard mention of spin. Which i guess is more a polotics thing, btu basically his articles are focusing on teh negative of everything, rather than the good sides.

For example a Man was murdered in Preston a few weeks ago, and they fpcused on how he died, not that fact that a passerby managed to incapacitate the culprit and call for an ambulance, just that a the man died, and the police didnt do anything.

Anywya i feel i am straying from teh subject i do apologise.
