@chchtemptress Unfortunately the first big June aftershock made that big TV do a back-somersault off that table and broke that wine glass, along with other glasses and crockery. The TV is now G-clamped to the table and I drink my wine from a big, thick, quake-resistant beer-mug! So far, so good.
@royalbuff123 I can imagine,i felt the Baja California 7.2 earthquake last year and it was a scary experience. I cant imagine how it felt on the epicenter..I wish you and the rest of Christchurch Good luck
@BLOEDVLEK This is about 18kms north of the city centre, and the epicentre was about 10kms south of the city, so we had less of an upheaval than the city had. It was the other way round with the September 7.1 quake.
This guy! Having a glass of wine! You are awesome. I live in chch on the east side, we have lost our house and i lost a mate and i can honestly say......after THOUSANDS of aftershocks there is nothing better then sitting with a glass of wine or beer to relax. Hope you are still enjoying it!

@jackaboo123 Sure thing man. With all these earthquakes and aftershocks (6000+ so far), a glass of robust Aussie red helps to reduce the tension. It is diluted 5:1 with water: honest! (That's 1 part wine to 5 parts water : works for me). Hope you never have to experience a big earthquake: they're violent and shocking.
Hey swap ya tvs ;) glad you had power, by the time I got home, I had found out the extend of the damage around my area and my home, which I am lucky to say has suffered no major damage
Some people truly love their Plasma T.V. more than life it self. I would have walked to the nearest doorway to protect my head from a falling plaster. This guy runs to make sure the T.V. is safe. Priorities.... People..... Priorities......
@radames57 After 6 months of aftershocks (over 5000 of them) I reckon I'm in a better position to judge the danger than perhaps you are. That TV sits on my earthquake shelter (that robust pine table that my brother built for me): if the house started toppling, I would have dived under that table. The deadly 6.3 quake 2 hours earlier moved the TV over 1 foot, nearly off the edge of the table. In the 7.1 5 months earlier, you couldn't have run or walked anywhere: the place shook so violently!
@MrHarleyddd Thanks Paul: just similar debris to the 7.1, but very little structural damage around Kaiapoi this time, thankfully. Hope Peetey is OK over on the peninsula. Things will settle down again, slowly but surely, but the city will never be the same.
;) Nice job

I agree with the power thing, Very fortunate. We didn't have power for 4 weeks, and longer with no water... we were in Avondale.

Cheers Diarmuid, yes i have sent an email to peetey and all seems to be ok.
chch wont be the same thats for real, and when you see tanks across the road from where i live, it brings home the scale of what has happened.
Shit, ground zero has come to town.
I have to say tho, ive been listening to radio live, as i have have no tv and the power of supoort from all kiwis and the rest of the world is amazing
We all stand tall
cheers paul
Keep in touch
