I await the abuse!

I'll send a packet of Quaker Oats

In all fairness though it is shocking what has happened, I have a mate in Thailand but he texted us last night to say he was fine, also I read that AC Milan were on one of the Maldive islands and have yet to be contacted.

Nonostante sia rientrato solo questa notte dalle Maldive, colpite dal violento maremoto, Paolo Maldini si ?? allenato con i compagni nel pomeriggio a Milanello. Fermo Alessandro Nesta, tornato anche lui dalle Maldive prima del tremendo terremoto che ha sconvolto il sud-est asiatico.

 

Very interesting.

That house I was going to buy in Phuket has now become a show house in Mombasa

I heard they were in floods of tears.

I was about to donate a few quid to the relief fund but then thought Phuket!

=; =; [-( [-( [-X [-X 60,000 dead now!!!

 

My parents were in Sri lanka 3 weeks ago. If anyone has sky news, they visited the hotel where it showed the guys clinging to trees, the town where it showed cars being swept away and where the train got derailed and swampwed. They recognise the lot. They also went further round the East coast, where nobody close enough to the coast to take a video survived! i for one am not laughing. Im thankful this didnt happen 3 weeks ago or my parents could be on the casualty list.

 

As for the Sri Lankan people, they say they have never met any friendlier. I myself have been to Thailand and they are the most welcoming nation I have ever met. Its very sad!

It's not funny, but humour is one of mankinds ways of dealing with these things.

 

Anyone running a book on where it will end? I'm going for 85,000.

85,001

Strange how you berate some users of this board for callously using humour to lessen the sadness of this incident then two posts later you go for the jugular by posting:

85,001

Talking about using humour to lessen the magnitude of a serious incident, I recall some time ago when about 14 indians or asianstanis or whatever were killed on the M6 on the way home from a wedding.

During breakfast at the fire station all were in a pretty sombre mood about it until one fireman asked, "Which is the odd one out: A Cockle, A Muscle, A Perch, A Periwinkle, A van load of asianstanis on the motorway?

 

Answer: The Perch; all the rest are crustaceans.

 

See? Black humour treats the stress of such a horendous incident.

with the greatest respect, my 'humour' was in reply to a post by Carlos, who had given a decent response to my comment. I was simply being cheeky to Carlos, rather than intending to make any judgement on the seriousness of the event. I did NOT mean take the pi$$ out of people who have died. If it came across as though i was mocking the incident, this was not the intention and i appologise for that.

You'd be quids in now though!

 

Seriously, we got talking about it last night, on a session around town. The "civilised world" has warning systems and emergency action plans in place for when/if it happens - I am talking in main USA.

 

I'm lead to believe that in the 2 hours it took to hit Sri Lanka - a warning system would have given many of the dead the chance to retreat to higher ground. Likewise in Phuket, retreating to the higher ground would have save many, many people.

Obviously places like Sumatra did not stand a chance - likewise the Maldives. All the planning in the world probablyl could not have assisted the Maldives.

I disagree that the US has warning systems in place, the San Andreas Fault for example could go at any time, and there's fook all they can do about it. They use a similar fault in Turkey to experiment on, that went about 5 years ago without any warning and killed 40,000+ people.

I meant Toon Army warning systems.

They can react to a tidal wave heading their way.

As for earthquakes - there's feck all you can do if they are in land.

Though I imagine at San Andreas - they will have some kind of advance system to detect when a big one may strike. Whether or not they can displace a few hundred million people (the fault line runs all the way down Central America as well) at short notice is doubtful.
