NEWS FLASH
A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale has hit Tallaght in
the early hours of this morning .
Epicentre: The Square Shopping Centre.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering "...bleedin story?","
aaaaawrigh' bud" and "fUUUc*sake". The earthquake decimated the area causing
approximately 30 euro worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from Crete and Santa Ponza were
damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were
disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheque arrived.
The Tallaght News reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that the damage had
not been caused by illegal means.
One resident - Alexis Crystal Duffy, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "Ih was
such a f*ckin' shock, me little wan Chardonnay Mercedes cem runnin' into me
bedruem cryin'. Me youngisst two: Tyler-Morgan n Megan-Brooklyn slept tru ih
all. Buh I was still shakin' when I was watchin' f*ckin'Rikki Lake leh-er in
the f*ckin' mornin" Apparently though, looting, muggings and incidental
crime did carry on as usual. The Irish Red Cross has so far managed to ship
4,000 crates of Strongbow, Dutch Gold, frozen pizza and John Player Blue to
the area to help the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
quantities of personal belongings, which include welfare books,jewellery
including thousands of sovereign rings, many large medallions and Hash leaf
ear rings from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and fine Bone China from Tommy's
Wonderland of Value.
HOW CAN YOU HELP

And remember that your contribution counts!
Just 22c buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms and bookie slips.
Just EUR5.00 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
Only EUR6.00 will pay for a packet of 20 Major to calm the nerves of those
affected.
Note: Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of such plush
accommodation is unfair on the population of the local halting sites.
