Jimcalagon Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 There was an earthquake in the Lake District at 11:20 am this morning. Why didn't the Manx Authorities send out a tsunami alert to allow us to get to higher ground in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 A spokesman for the British Geological Survey said: "We picked it up on instrumentation. "With a magnitude of 3.7 it is relatively small.

Jimcalagon Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Worse still, the quake could have affected Sellafield, causing a nuclear explosion at the same time as the tsunami. The potentialities are frightening. And I note bacon is still on sale in Tesco's, despite the outbreak of swine flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that but I have another question - I ate an enchilada at the weekend, is it possible that I could catch mexican swine flu from that?

You may joke but someone I know who works in the health service has had a few calls this morning to surgery with people saying they ate Mexican food recently and should the come in for a check up! Media's fault, oh and stupid people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graculus Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for that but I have another question - I ate an enchilada at the weekend, is it possible that I could catch mexican swine flu from that? No but the authorities are said to be worried about a potentially lethal batch of tortillas that may have hit the street. The flour used in these is thought to be contaminated with ergot and there is a major worry that widespread outbreaks of ergotism (not egotism) may result. Anyone suffering from swollen blisters, rotting flesh, and loss of limbs is asked to contact Nobles hospital or their GP immediately - assuming that their limbs haven't already been lost and they can still pick up the 'phone.

Don't be daft, you can only hear the warning sirens on a saturday morning at 11am and then you lock your self in the house and listen to manx radio for news, but that wont happen till late monday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just caught Los Lobos playing on the radio and thought I was fucked. But then I remembered how ridiculous I was being. They are actually from Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
