Slim Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 A major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale hit Pulrose in the early hours of Tuesday 23rd September 2003. The epicentre was Elm Avenue. Casualties were seen wandering aimlessly saying "bang out of order", "mental", and "that did my head in". The earthquake decimated the area, causing an estimated £17 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Ibiza and Corfu were damaged beyond repair. Three preserved areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. Hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, they are still trying to come to terms with the fact that the damage was caused by something other than themselves. One resident, Kelly Sharon Quayle, pregnant 14 year old mother of three, said "It was a f*ckin shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running through the cardboard door into my f*ckin bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Brooklyn and Kai-Keanu slept through it all. My hands were shaking that much, I could hardly shoot up when I was watching Tricia this f*ckin morning". Another resident, 'Mally' said that the earthquake would not stop him from going to work, after all the burglaries and graffiti would not do themselves. He told our reporter 'I'll f*ckin stun that earthquake for stroky baps yer f*ckin prick' The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of "Sunny Delight" to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers are sifting through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, which include benefit books, jewellery from Samuels, bone china from Moochers and a number of Index catalogues. How can you help? This appeal hopes to raise enough money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the catastrophe. Clothing is most sought after. Most needed are Kappa tracksuits (his and hers), white socks to tuck the tracksuit bottoms into, Burberry caps, woolly "Benny" hats and Reebok trainers. Clothing from "What shop" is most welcome. Food parcels are also needed. They should include McCains Micro chips, HP beans, Monster Munch crisps, Nutella chocolate spread and Iceland Pizzas. Alcohol is also in short supply, mainly Lambrini, White Lightning cider and Carlsberg Special Brew. Cash donations are also needed, 22p buys a Bic Biro for signing-on, £1-50 buys chips and cheese, and £26 buys 200 Bensons from "Tony" who has just got back from Kavos.

hollandaise Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I'd never seen it before, I don't have a politically correct bone in my body, I thought it was funny. A gag like that works wherever you set it (except the Home Counties, perhaps). Don't think it was aimed particularly at Pulrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope it stays like that and the people in the houses realise just how lucky they are to live somewhere nice, thats not damp and dirty and having to pay £700 per month for a xxxxty flat. I do hope you mean the people are better in Birchill , there are always exceptions everywhere of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generation Terrorists Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I happen to have come from Pulrose, and lived in Elm Avenue since i was little. Don't need to assume that we're all like that. Hardly fair to judge everyone that way is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
