It was any time before the year 2000 and the bet was placed around 2002 upon an eartquake of Richter scale 6 or higher hitting Japan (extra points if tokyo was levelled). At one point you were most insistant that the untimely demise of two elderly Japanese fisherman off the southern tip of the Kyusyu province meant that you'd won. I still say stuff and nonesense! If they didn't kark it on the mainland then it doesn't count! So pay up, wideboy! :)
I'm guessing the bet was placed in 1992, not 2002 (or it was a rather stupid bet).
you say the bet was 'scale 6 or higher hitting Japan'... How about >>In January 1995 a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and surroundings. The Southern Hyogo Earthquake (also called Great Hanshin Earthquake) killed 6,000 and injured 415,000 people. 100,000 houses were completely and 185,000 partially destroyed

Talking of tests, disasters and all that sort of thing, you still owe me a tenner for the lack of a fatal earthquake in Japan!

Don't remember making that bet.
But it does sound like something I'd do.
What year did we make as the cutoff date?
