to whom it may concern.
please stop shaking my city, it has gone on long enough.
the last one at 12.41 today just about made me crap my pants.
if you must carry on, at least have the decency and give us a warning, blow a whistle or something.
yours Scunny

Was it as big as the one that hit Japan thursday, 7.1?

scunny · « **Reply #5 on:** April 13, 2011, 11:52:05 AM »

not as big as japan but closer. only 5k's deep and just over there> I think we have the record for ground speed.

it will take years to recover but life goes on. getting used to a new pub is the hard part, might have to visit Brian ( bear) can you tell I like a beer and chat.

I would be moving to a new town if i were you Scunny.....Don't like the idea of riding into a ravine in the middle of the road when out for my daily ride....

Man, I hope they stop out there soon. I'd like to see NZ again. I was just thinking, did the pancake rocks get any damage? Some of them seem like it wouldn't take much to fall.

scunny · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2011, 11:46:14 AM »

pancake rocks are fine, all the carnage is on the east side of the alps.
shag rock is gone.

Radam · « **Reply #15 on:** May 09, 2011, 12:14:31 PM »

That sucks. I didn't even get a pic. I did get some pics of the church that was in the middle of town. I was sad when I saw the pics of what happened to it.

scunny · « **Reply #16 on:** June 01, 2011, 01:57:07 AM »

Should've been the first thing fixed..!! Where's their priorities..!!

You would be getting a little cold at this time of year as well yeah? Still Shaking.?

scunny · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2011, 02:43:26 AM »

yep Mick, they could fix me pub first, we have lost quite a few. the quakes are still rolling thru but we don't count anything under magnitude 4.5 anymore, might be a pause in the conversation while you pick up your jug and glass in case it's a good one is about it. don't want to spill any.

youll need a little umbrella on your beer now for the volcano ash bearing down on you next.

scunny · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2011, 04:32:34 AM »

the volcano ash came through saturday night, gave the morning a very strange look. closed the airport for a while so ended up giving a lift to a guy who needed to get north.It's lifted high enough now that the planes are flying under the ash.

scunny · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:22:37 AM »

well that was an interesting night, we had a 5.3 hit us at 10.30 last night, felt a lot bigger than that, crap all over the place again. since then we have had another 11 till now and the earth has been grumbling and groaning all night. maybe today we will get the big one that is predicted, hope not.
