I survived an earthquake

Rabies · 21-02-2007 10:22pm #1

Last night about 9pm (8am Irish) there was earth quake of the coast of auckland.
It only measured 4.5, there was three in total but they were smallerl. I was sitting in a net cafe playing a few games and felt the ground rumble. Presumed it was one of the big ass trucks they have over here.

That was my near death experience

4.5? pfffffft! Come back when you've had a 7 at least!

Mike.

Phew, without you, Rabies, there is no Boards.ie.

mike65 · 21-02-2007 10:25pm

No, without me there is no boards.ie (and Victor of course!)

Mike.

7!!! The size doesn't matter. It is the experience that counts.
Oh wait... that doesn't sound right

That's nothing.
I had A.I.D.S. and survived to tell the tale*.

*The tale was a complete lie, but I did survive rabies.

Did you get cured by that Africa Prime Minister ( what ever his name is) that is claiming he can sure AIDS?

No one has survived a real dose of Rabies yet?

Terry · 21-02-2007 11:01pm

I had to lie down and let him piss in my mouth.
Told me it was full of vitamins, he did.
I was grand after that.

Apparently there was an earth tremor when I was on holidays in Antigua many years ago. Only my dad felt it. Everyone else was too busy horrifiedly* watching me projectile vomit as I'd gotten food poisoning. True story.

*That's not a word, but I needed it to be one for my story. It's late, and I can't think of adverbs.

Temporarily overseas in So Cal. I'm told that they have fault line movements everyday, and if you feel some of the smaller quakes, you often attribute them to other things, like a train or heavy truck rumbling by... They are still waiting for the Big One or one between 8 and 9.

Did he also claim to be the last king of Ireland?

Terry · 22-02-2007 2:23am

Nah.
That was my uncle Hugh.
He was an awful liar though.

I'm sorry, that was me. I shouldn't have the second lamb madras.

4.5... I think the littlest dog raises an eyebrow!:p

Terry · 22-02-2007 2:33am

Stop showing pictures of dogs pissing out of their tails.
That's just not right.

We've all survived earthquakes... Wasn't there a 2.8 quake just off the coast of Bray only last year?

Monkeyfudge, nobody wants to hear about your sexual fantasies regarding the earth moving.
Keep it in S&S, please.

Ya...but... but....
Auckland has volcanoes. The place might explode. Lave could come up from the sewers. We might need Tommy Lee Jones or Pierce Brosnan to come in and save us.

We have. We all seem to have survived the Auckland one, too.

Bray mourns the loss.

A tidal wave is on it's way to Mayo right now :mad:

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 22-02-2007 2:52am

Good. We could use the excitement. Any chance of what they had in Bray?

monkeyfudge · 22-02-2007 2:53am

As a matter of convenience could you perhaps in future only tell us all about the earthquakes that you haven't survived through.

Or the songs that some crap Welsh band might write about it.

Yup... I'm expecting one again soon.
I can put a video of it up on YouTube if you want.

Terry · 22-02-2007 2:58am

Put up a video of me surviving herpes. V.6.9.

monkeyfudge · 22-02-2007 3:02am

We should get t-shirts done up.

"I Survived Severe Anal Trauma 2007!"

Terry · 22-02-2007 3:44am

I'll leave it up to you.
After all, you're the one who caused all the trauma.

Anybody here remember the earthquake that hit the east coast of Ireland? It was either 1985 or 86 and it was during the summer.. That was pretty cool..

I remember that night on the RTE news they were interviewing some oul wan who lived on the top floor of one of the ballymun towers and she was all "Jaysys, the ground was shaking and I ta i was gonna die"

GreenHell · 22-02-2007 1:10pm

Experinced one in San Franciso during the summer, was sitting on a lazy boy type chair watching tv, when the ground started rumbling and the house started moving around my chair, twas fair cool.

I was on the other side of the water then, wigan. It hit there too... i slept through it.
Me mum didn't. She was none to impressed either when i told her it must have been the first time the earth moved for her in years.

I live in Tokyo and you get them here fairly regularly. I hate them - Tokyo is well overdue a big one so when I feel one I keep expecting it to escalate ........
I'm moving back to Europe soon, and they're one thing I won't miss, although knowing my luck the "big one" will hit in the 4 weeks before I leave !!
