Earthquake!
So, come one, who felt the earthquake? I have never felt one that strong before. It was really, erm, shaky (for UK standards) here in Manchester. I thought someone had nuked Salford. At the time, Craig and I were in bed watching the fantastic Weeds series 2, smoking a joint and eating weed-laced chocolate popcorn. We were understandably rather relaxed and very much not prepared for such an event, which in a way made it all the more exciting. I know it scared the fuck out of some of my friends, though. We're a few floors up in this flat so it felt quite unsteady, but I know a few people who live in high-rise flats. I really thought the pot we had was much stronger than I'd expected when the windows first started to rattle.
I bet the UK news will go mad about it tomorrow. As per usual, every local network will interview the same idiotic, bumbling "average member of the public" tosspots who were out walking their dog or spying on their neighbours at the time of the quake, and they'll doubtless witter on about how it gave them a bit of a dodgy feeling in their tummy and put them off their Cheesy Wotsits for ten minutes, and how they will now really empathise with the people of California next time their houses collapse during a proper earthquake.
Anyway, it was pretty bloody cool, no?
