Earthquake

nearly 30,000 been killed now and it's estimated that 57,000 could have been killed as bodies are still being found

harsh.. are there any videos / pics of the initial tidle wave?

dunno - dont think people would have had time to grab a video camera/ camera, was watching sky news this morning, they said that it was just like a normal day...sun shining, people on the beach sun bathing, then all of a sudden this huge wave comes and washes everything away. Peope ran for high ground as fast as they could..

Sad news

^ video on there nass

Well poeple saying death toll could top 100,000 so technofish was right its just me making a drama out of something small... what a prick

at the time it appeared u were exaggerating alot...turns out you're just psychic!

Ruth, when and where are you going in Thailand again? My memory is shit sorry Its not that long tho is it?

You seem to be enjoying the fact he was so wrong. Even when you win your a loser.

Im not enjoying it i was just pointing out that he has a vendetta against me cos i dont agree with his bigot views so he brought it into a thread that was respecting the unfortunate people who have lost there lives...

yes but most of the population in the south west and south coast is urban and centred in places like penzance, plymouth, bournemouth , poole etc not to mention the channel islands... looking at the geography of the canaries its unlikely that we would be hit very hard... we've got a greater threat further north from a submarine slide on the mid-atlantic ridge... and thats about the most i can remember from 4 years of uni

Opinions differ as to the size of the waves that'll hit Britain, anywhere between 5 and 15 metres, but if you want to see a nice little map of how bad it will be for Britain, Europe, Africa and the Americas then Look at this pdf

Doesn't matter if it doesn't kill anyone here, it sure will kill tens of thousands elsewhere. But if it's not on our doorstep, who gives a fuck? It'll be good to watch on the news.

i thought the "drama" comment was meaning that u were a bit of a drama queen, not that u were making more of it than u should have.

jan 23rd!

Shit. Where bouts again? Are you changing course?

we were supposed to b going to krabi, phuket & ko phi phi... we're going to wait for another few days and then decide but it looks like we'll have to change our plans!

My cousin and her husband were supposed to be going to thailand for their honeymoon, but they couldnt go... i'm just glad that they didnt choose to go any earlier!!!

Ness you understand plain and simple comments so well. Its such a shame you are spoken for
