Default [OT] In response to a Yahoo News snip

There was an item about Scientists saying the biggest danger is from
earthquakes generated in the middle of continents rather than the more
closely monitored intercontinental plate shifts. I'm sure Michael can
amplify but one of the responses on Yahoo, which for a change was quite
humourous, did make me smile:-
"What with world war 2, earthquakes, tsunamis, giant asteroids, global
warming, volcano eruptions and dust, plus nuculear power stations
breaking up I reckon I`ve done bloody well to reach 85 last week, I
think I`ll celebrate with another whiskey."

When they're in the middle you have to watch out for tidal hills.

If it had said "...done bloody well to reach 55 last week, ..." I'd have
thought you'd written it Lawrence ;-)
