    Had a big bang last night

    Massive explosions hit fuel depot in Hemel Hempstead

    I thought someone was trying to batter their way through the front door, and I live 12 miles away.

    Anyone else hear it?

    Eyewitness Jonathan Barr, who works next to the depot, told the BBC he was thrown from his chair by the force of his blast.
    I think this could've been worded differently...

      tremor in Banstead

      We felt the house move in Banstead this morning at 6am. No sound so I assumed it was a tremor but was too knackered to be too bothered about it. Felt like a van had hit the side of the house!

        I hope this is not an act of terrorism.

        I wouldn't put anything past those scumbags.

          I think you're being rather paranoid. You've been listening to TB again, haven't you? Go on, admit it.

            If so, it wouldn't have happened if we'd had biometric ID cards, 90 day detention without trial, and police marksmen shooting all foreign-looking blokes on sight.

              You're sounding more like Chico every day, are you related?

                Was in Leighton last night, about 15 miles away. The earth certainly moved for me.

                  Leighton Buzzard or Leighton Hewitt?

                  We can see the smoke from Edlesborough. Luckily for us the wind is blowing it all in the opposite direction.

                  Wait, I've just heard - we're all saved! John Prescott has visited the scene!

                    No I am nor chico I am the reincarnation of 'Sir Richard The Lion Heart' .... these non believers of the true single faith will burn in a hell far worse than they have ignited in Hemel Hempstead.
