UK earthquake - BBC headline (27th Feb 08)

[Jonnyriffic]

"a breaking story, there has been a minor earthquake"

[KatrinaWhite2012]

i live in lincoln! slept through it though -_-

[Kerioscha]

See thats nothing like the 7.1 in Christchurch.

[xxmaterialxgirlxx]

k i don't remember this but knowing me i probably slept through it lmao

[johnmccormack31]

aha i remember when this happened i was up at 12-1am and had a new guitar hanging on the wall, was just getting into bed and looked out the window when i saw trees shaking then my house shook and i absolutly shit it looking at the guitar wobbling :|

[IYANDIY]

i dont suppose it happened to originate exactly 10km / 6.1 miles deep?! seems a lot have been, unusual, no?

[skelotan]

I follow the word of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - he stretches out his noodly appendage and stirs the world, this causes earthquakes. If more people would follow the scriptures of the FSM there would be peace, joy and lots of pirates. Ra-men.

[eurovisionuk2008]

it hurt my tummy the shaking and i had a headache

[kanga888]

was in hull, the vibration hurt me

[CasualtyBiggestFan]

I felt it in Beverley, but they didn't say about east riding

[ford134]

The creator does not need to relive himself. Silly man, its enough we recognise him, through what he has created! such as the heavens above you and the earth you are already in. And the true creator is not human, if fact he is far from our comprehension. And the Lord is not Jesus; Jesus himself is servant. The true God is the one who sent Jesus as a messenger, to guid them how to live thier Life.

[0Nero1]

I believe what i see yes, but i dont see no heaven or hell no god mayb aliens created humans, it is the god who wants people to bow before him and worship him. No being should have that much power. I respect peoples views because people are allowed their oppion's but bible basher's and atheist hater's are people that want atheist's to know only see their way. Their is more to life then liveing by a book.

[0Nero1]

I dont cliam that there is 100% no god and that the bible or any other religious book for that matter is 100% wrong i just like to see proof if that helps, to me science is good evidence maybe you should look up on what atheist's believe in? cos we have belief awell.

[SxcW3xy]

I'm afraid 'that book' happens to be

THE LORD'S WORD!!!!

why not live by it???

[0Nero1]

Thanks for answering, ive read the bible many time's, but i do not live by it, i doubt the bible is the 'lords word' it's been changed so many times and i did say stop preaching and i started to preach myself which is stupid i admit i was actully trying to stop the guy from haveing a go at us atheist's he semms to done it on a few video's, there will allways be crime even with god that's why there is a hell right? didnt god banish 'lucifer' aka 'the devil' because he wouldnt bow before him?

[0Nero1]

double post soz

[ford134]

The bottom line is, its the ahtiest who are the ones evented evolution, no religion, no way of life, just do what u pls. They are the ones who are propomting immorale things, and its harming the soceity

[0Nero1]

Please tell me your jokeing, I'm a atheist, tell me this follower of your so called creator - When has your creator ever shown himself to you? where is your heaven? sitting on a cloud? and why would your creator put himself in the humans image and why not a pigeon or something? Atheist's harming soceity? That's why there are wars over religion and killing in the name of 'god'. lol oh dear, stop preaching over the internet it's stupid.

[VirtualZombie]

I bet you your not even a ''Atheist''. Stop being clever.

[0Nero1]

Lol not an atheist? how would you know, you have no idea who i am and how was i being clever? i was just saying what i think as of ford134.

[SxcW3xy]

Wen has ur creator ever shown himself to u?

many ways, through every day miracles, through his son, Jesus Christ

Where is ur heaven?

heaven isn't on a cloud or in the sky (thats just a stereotype!)Heavens a place.

y would your creator put himself in the humans image and why not a pigeon or something? Pigeons can't exactly talk or preach 4 that matter

[SxcW3xy]

i had 2 continue my comment

btw, this is to '0Nero1'

Are Atheists ruining our world?

well, lets say if the whole were believers in Christ, there would be no selfishness, no hunger, no sadness, no poverty, no suffering, no misery and best of all, no sin. I have NEVER met anyone in my life who has turned to Christ and regretted it!

Stop preaching over the internet it's stupid!

urm, excuse me, but i think ur preaching as well!!! also, y not preach? u cld change some1s life forever through words!!

[doseduk]

a lot of reasons why not to preach... religion can be a sensitive and provocative topic to many across many different 'categories of belief'.

i mean, when young kids are in our market place, and some loony in the middle is screaming about the devil, sin, revelations. i think thats appauling, wrong, conditioning and just, completely fucking disgraceful.

thats why there isn't full freedom of speech, and preachers can be asked to behave in a more orderly manner if neccesary.

[doseduk]

sorry, double post, my mistake

[doseduk]

oh and i did see you said it was to 0nero1 but, you posted it publically on a social network so it was bound to provoke the attention of others.

to avoid interventions from unintended recipients in future like this, post private messages :)

[masoodi12]

haha the people who felt the earthquake and were inchest to die i wished u did bitches

[Nenatone]

Funny that... All the women seem to of enjoyed the earthqwake...

[ford134]

Once I met a lost atheist. He said to me I'm an atheist, he said went said look at these wars over religion, I said you fool, which war is bush and Blair fighting for? The only religion they fighting for are for the weak dollar. He did not have a leg to stand on. What clowns these atheist are.

[ford134]

So u don't believe in God you filthy atheist, so who made you? & the earth? Heavens? Sun? Moon? Stars? Don't u see the dead land who brings it back to life, you? Or the Creator? Contemplate you fools! U believe your parents were apes and monkeys? How sick and evil is it the way u think!

[Rheingoldi]

"filthy atheist" ha, that's what they used to call Tom Paine. Which century are you in? How would you feel if people went around calling you a filthy theist or christian?

[W33dH4ck3r]

Okay.

[cragz06]

yeah it was small scale compaired to thes events around the world but it was still some scarey shit, never experienced one before

Got to agree with that ford fcker about one thing .. we wouldnt know how to cope in this country if we had full scale earthquake, I mean it takes the local governments yrs to fill a little fckin pot hole in the road? Imagine it was a 10 ft crack from london to manchester lol.

[tnawwejosh]

Scary stuff from the last earthquake about a year ago it has gone up by 0.5 scary shit. Also lol who ever said its global warming how dumb are you.

[earthstick]

welcome tut bbc news...

[gazza1781]

fucking god... end of the world? it lasted about 7secs i know this cause i was at work about to finish our dinner time (12:57 in leicester) and yeah it shaked abit made me spill my milk shake (sigh) and that was it floods? yeah thats global warming not earthquakes

[PuffyAmiYumi]

haha! Just before it started I closed my side table drawer and thought the exact same thing!

[innovaterownsu]

i live in market rasen pretty scary

[CussMysterGeneral]

how the hell could it have been global warming ? earthquakes occur when plates colide not when the earth gets hotter ?

[Lukep1991]

Yeah... Anyone who thinks this is global warming needs to do basic GCSE geography :\ as you said pressure builds up slowly as the plates move and occasionaly one will slip and cause an earthquake, tremor. etc... Global warming does not cause plates to move faster, or slip :S And global warming isn't caused by CO2 either, fuck al-gore and his assholeisim. Completly natural cycle, otherwise we'd still be in the ice age.

[lestatpop]

start of the end of world is near dumbass

can't be stop and fuck die

Global warming

[W33dH4ck3r]

4.7? I thought it was 5.3.

[SlugThumper]

Me and the wife slept through the whole thing but I think we felt it on a subconscious level cos when we woke up in the morning we had both shit the bed.

[ElBonPistachio]

The earthquake blew my car up. lol

[camazack]

ford WTF are you going on about? and what did the UK ever do to you?

[ford134]

Get alife and wake up, is it not a sign from God, none expected the floods they came like waves. the sunami was the same. So expect the worse.

[kermyt69]

Some of the comments on here are so funny, no earthquake of any serious nature will hit the UK in my lifetime, my children's lifetime, my children childrens' lifetime...you get the point.

Check the plates around the world.

We never get hit by earthquakes, major hurricanes (once in a blue moon), volcanoes, avalanches, the worst we get in this country is rain and too much american music.

Now wind your neck in, pipe down, jog on and leave our beautiful UK alone.

[Serge737]

ford shut up, ur a fuckin geek, just sittin there for like 15mins just writing shit, get a fuckin life

[ford134]

We westerners think we control the world, well control the quakes. All this technology we claim to have, and we think we are better than others. Last year it was the floods, this year it will be the quakes. I wonder what the atheist media will have to say. It was a big bang.

[girlsdrinkfeck]

u bore me

[gavino22]

stick your opinion up your ass ford.

I bet you dont believe in evolution either fruitcake!

[ford134]

The earthquake will come while u are sleeping, some say, this is better than everyone being awake. What foolish people they are. The earthquake will hit, and you wont be ready for it. UK will be back in dark ages; homosexuality is on the rise, paedophiles on the rise, and atheism on the rise.

[lyn61]

What the hell has that got to do with earthquakes? your an idiot..

[ford134]

shame they could not see it coming, trying to rule the world, did not expect that with all your aethist scientist. What will UK do when a real earth hits, the country will be bankrupt.

[Bazajt]

When the earth hits the UK?

You mean earth quake. Obviously it would bankrupt the UK cos the economy is so weak compared to say America, Europe etc. Oh wait no it isn't is it.

Idiot.

[sunspark4600]

Ford134 you really should stay in the safety and solitude of your mothers basement, because if you stay out too long you'll start jabbering about crackpot theories, then the men with white coats will come along and take you back to the padded room.

F-ing weirdo

[Reaprar]

Breaking news my ass, while all this was happening their tv station was going wonky and they just mentioned in passing "we've heard there was a minor earthquake, back to iraq and their delicious ooooil.."

[acegurrl]

I felt it in Epsom, Surrey. I live in a student house so I ran out of my room knocked on next door, no-one answered and went to bed feeling very anxious. I hadn't bothered to turn on the tv or radio since then, so I've only just found out that we had an earthquake from watching this vid. O.o

[sarre87]

Earth quake in England!? No proper snow in Sweden?! what is happening ?!?!

[kidgoku666]

I live in a previously condemned building. You have no idea how scary an earthquake is when the ceiling looks ready to cave in!

[FetidToecheese]

I almost dropped my sandwich

[jakeblandjk47]

[KShizZleyo]

Uhm... Maybe because he's hungry? O_o

[jakeblandjk47]
