Quote of the day about the earthquake...

[graculus]

I hope, I really hope this is a joke, but to be honest I'm not really sure:

"I've never been so terrified... I called the police but they said there was nothing they could do... Why do I pay my taxes????"

I have to admit that I rang the police myself... on account of worrying that (a) it was a gas explosion, or (b) I'd gone bananas. It wasn't a long conversation.

Me: Erm... sorry to trouble you, but I think... Did we just have an, erm, sort of earthquake in Kenilworth?

Him (bored, unsurprisingly, as it'd taken me a few minutes to get through...): Yes Ma'am, we understand that there has been some sort of local tremor.

Me: Erp. OK. Sorry about that. I'll leave you to it, then.

Him (really bored now): *Thank* you.


I wasn't planning on suing him for not offering to come round and kiss it all better, mind you. Missed a trick, obviously. Still, we all know that the BBC is an asshat magnet for the green ink brigade.

Oh... Grac, is an early Saturday in October any good for you? Contingent on the rain-of-blood-and-toads forecasts for the month ahead, naturally.

The green ink brigade lives!

Still shagged out after debauching the RSPCA guy? *eg*

Assuming neither of us falls into an earthquake-induced hole in the meantime.

I thought you were too busy associating with your fellow Harper obsessives to bother with the likes of us.. *sniff*
