come on who rocked and rolled last night in the earthquake
-
Have you seen your Mince today? I believe he was a little shook up last night. Sadly, the earth failed to move for me, yet again. :-\
-
Dead to the world if you had been a little nearer like Market Rasen or Newark you would have felt the earth move more than all your love making.
-
So what was it like, Peter? (The earthquake, not the love-making). Was their any damage? (Once again, the earthquake).
-
It was odd at first it felt and sounded like a big lorry passing your house but it just went on and on for about 10 seconds. get someone to time you close your eyes for ten seconds but also begin shaking.
-
Was their any damage?
Yes, was their any damage, Peter? I must say it didn't affect us here. Rothesay's built on the Highland Boundary Fault, by the way.
-
No structural damage just frayed nerves it is weird, you sit through it knowing you cant do anything and that seems odd.
I was still awake one hour later still waiting for the next one.

Damn.

Sounds pretty scary, Peter. When I was a tiny kid, I lived in Haiti and, I believe, we lived through several spectacular earthquakes. I remember nothing about them, other than what my mother told me. Maybe my sister, Diamond Lil, remembers more.

I lived in Haiti
You dark horse, Roger!

Does that make you an honorary faulty Highland boundar, Peepsie?
-
I was just settling down after posting my gibberish in the thread thread when I started to wobble, with the headboard banging against the wall and a kind of rippling noise went through the wall. As I was so relaxed, I knew instantly that it was an earthquake.
After a short while I forced myself up to have a look at the USGS site who confirmed what I already knew. I then spent the next hour or so watching the BBC News and Sky News as I couldn't sleep expecting an aftershock.
I'm feeling quite tired now.
-
Yes missed the after shock myself.
-

Damn.
But if you take "any" as a noun, it kind of makes sense.
Was their "any" damage?
Compare this to:
Was their cheese Cheddar?
Help me out here Roger.

And there it is! :o
You tend to wobble more with the After Shocks ;D

Can't. I buggered up.

.......where's Mince when you need him? The question is where any damage took place...answer, there. Off now to sort out another query. This is what happens when I haven't been on the site for a few days (for lots of reasons) and now there's so much to attend to...finishing a sentence like that will surely lure Mince from his lair

I remember the stories of having to make for the coast, away from the town (guess tsunamis weren't a threat) and my favourite is when our folks lived in the Dominican Republic. Everyone ran out into the street except one American neighbour who remained standing on her dining room table trying to support a chandelier...a recent, expensive, import from the States!

Help me out here, Roger. ::)
Actually, you are wrong here.
In commands, the subject can be understood but not stated.
For example, the command "Go away." in full means "Go you away."
So "Help me out here." in full means "Help you me out here." or "Help Roger me out here." or "Help me out here Roger."
I rest my case (on very shaky ground).
-

Mince is the person you were quoting. Are you saying you want me to prove myself wrong?
Have you been drinking?

Give Mince me strength! ::)

Why don't we just use the little ::) emoticon, instead of typing "Mince"? It'd save a lot of time. I wonder what ::) would have to say, mind.

>:( is proberly better

Isn't that a little patronising and childish?
Ok.
-
yes but right
-
It doesn't look right, using ::) when referring to ::). I sort of see ::) as more geekie. Perhaps father of ::) could confirm or deny?
-
yes
-
I see what you mean about ::) being geeky, Vulch. That's how I sense he is. The emoticon, ::) to me concisely reflects my feelings about many of his postings. You know, when you think "What a pancake flipper!" kind of thing. So I thought ::) would be a good substitute for actually spelling out his name.
-
I agree with you, Peeps, but..... don't you think ::) is too nice to represent ..... son of Peter... we need something more in keeping with our (not very good) impression of him. Peter isn't very forthcoming with ::)'s appearance, so he must be worse than we thought.
I (myself, personally..) think he must look a bit like Jerry Lewis in the Nutty Professor (before he takes his potion). What do the rest of you think?
-
Yeah, but the icon ::) looks like it represents the feeling "Good grief, what a winkle!" I think it does the job admirably. Anyway, ::) is bound to come along with a smart-arse answer. ::)

That's so, so true!
