Just got in from doing an overnighter at work, i was up some twelve rung stop ladders when the first ripple happened and i thought my mate was fookin about, but then a couple of seconds later had a bis tremour that shook the whole building, exercise balls fell off their shelves, a couple of CD's slid off the top of the gym sound system and i nearly fell off the ladders,  :-?  You just don't expect it in good old Blighty, and especially when you have been at work for 23 hours solid  :(
