    I was wondering when watching the news last night, but had no idea if
    it was anywhere near you.

  3. From the Beeb http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13371472 :
    "We know we live near a fault line but we never thought this would
    happen," Lorca resident Pepe Tomas, 56, said.

    ....wtf *were* they expecting? Unicorns and rainbows?

    Glad to hear you're okay =)

    About 4 hours away, but the reporters are saying "Southern Spain". Murcia is
    South East. It was felt in Granada, mind.

    We have lots of tremors each year. Things move. I've had to glue the
    worktops in place because I got sick of having to nudge them back.

    We had a few little tremors near Casares last time we were there.

    Given that it's about 250 miles from the earthquake, why wouldn't it be?

    The only one I've experienced was just south of Valencia. Can't say I
    particularly enjoyed it.

    Heh.

    "Emergency services used four breathing apparatus, four jets and two
    hydraulic platforms to tackle the flames."

    See - there is a good use for those retired Harriers.

    You would use one on Keighley, it is the second biggest dump ever.

    Actually, Switters left here last week, heading East, toward Murcia. Ask
    your agents if he's ok. He was looking for windy beaches though, so probably
    not inland.

    Here's a picture of a beach bum that looks like him:

    He might hate me for that.

    He would have been better off going down to Tarfia, fucking hell, windy does
    not cover it.
