AdamC Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Slept through it in Berkshire, but nice of my drop out sister in law to phone my wife to tell her all about it, she was staying just down the road. Just because her and her boyfried don't have jobs to get up for, doesn't mean the same applies for everyone. Hope you guys and girls near it did not suffer any damage.

Chard Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) The ******* woke me up in Manchester about 1am. You know what it's like when you wake up to something odd - very disorientating and I was **** scared for a minute or two. I couldn't work out whether I had dreamed it or not Needless to say the missus slept through it I asked her if the earth moved, but apparently not I remember thinking I was glad I wasn't up and walking about, I reckon I'd have landed on my Harris Edited February 27, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 my poor wife sh@t herself and rang me up to tell me she was scared at 1am... nice. She said it shook the whole house for about 10 secs - i didnt feel anything in wolves but then again i sleep through most things lol. I was glad to see that my 'guard' dog did his job by not batting an eyelid through the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
