A major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale hit Liverpool in the early hours of 15th September. the epicentre was Huyton. casualties were seen wandering aimlessly saying "bang out of order!" , "mental!" , and "that did me 'ead in!" the earthquake decimated the area causing in excess of £55 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of 'mementos from Ibiza & Corfu' were damaged beyond repair.
preserved areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. many locals were woken up before their giro's arrived. the Liverpool Echo reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered. they are still trying to come to terms with the fact that the damage was not caused by them.
one resident, Tracy Sharon smith, a 15 year old mother of four said "it was such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running through the cardboard door into my bedroom crying. My hands were shaking so much that I could hardly skin up when I was watching Trisha the next morning"
Another local resident known as Macca was determined the earthquake would not stop him going back to work, after all burglaries and graffiti would not do themselves.
the British red cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of sunny delight to the area to help the crisis. rescue workers were still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings which include benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Dukes, bone china from poundstretcher and a number of Argos catalogues.
However, they were unable to save any furniture from crazy Georges.

How can you help?

this appeal hopes to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster. clothing is most sort after. most needed are Lacoste or other tracksuits (his & hers), white socks to tuck the tracksuit bottoms into, Burberry caps, woolly Bennie hats and Reebok trainers. Primark clothing is most welcome.
Food parcels are also needed. they include McCain Micro Chips, Aldi Beans, Monster Munch, Nutella Chocolate spread and Iceland Pizzas. Alcohol is also in short supply, mainly Lambrini, White Lightening Cider and Carlsberg Special Brew.

Cash donations are also needed, 22p buys a Bic Biro to sign on, 80p buys a portion of chips and £15 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who has just got back from Kavos.

Please give generously, as it could be a scally your saving today!

I don't know bout anyone else, but I think I need a translator? Scally? 200 Regal from Tommo? bone china from poundstretcher and a number of Argos catalogues?

[TJolly]

I'm from Liverpool so I'll translate for you.

Scally - a villain or thief.

200 'Regal' - A brand of cigarettes.

Tommo - Slang interpretation of Tom or Thomas.

Poundtretcher - A store where everything costs one pound (£1).

Argos - A catalogue store.

For your information Huyton is not in Liverpool it's in Knowsley outside the boundary of Liverpool.

And my friends and I look foward to meeting you for a quiet chinwag about the honesty of 'Scousers'

[Melodi]

Quid = Pound

Much the same as

Buck = Dollar

Good God above in Heaven! It's a good thing Dave pointed me to this thread, I guess! I can't believe all this, it's cracking me up! And..........I sure am afraid to Google myself, I don't think I wanna know! ;) :eek: But, guess I better try it out so I'll know what others know......egad!

Hehehe.....nice to be talked about, anyway! I'm around, I'm just spread out in all different directions lately and not posting much here! Doesn't mean a thing though, CTH will always be toppers on my list! Cuz of all the folks, of course! And I swear, maybe I better start getting more into the tech forums. Because do you know what.....lately, I'm finding out I'm a lot dumber than I ever knew! LOL! It's really quite traumatic!

Dave, how dare you say I don't share my cookies! A pox on you, chicken! Hehehehe. I'm just gettin' you all worked up! I'll really plant a big kiss on your little beak, even if you do say a lot of inappropriate things with it! :p
