An earthquake shook Cornwall in the early hours of yesterday morning when tremors with a magnitude of 2.2 rolled out of Bodmin.

It's OK, it was only Bodmin. Wouldn't be a loss if the whole place disappeared under the moor.

now don't be like that.. Bodmin is home of..
and..
and don't lets forget...

no, you're right... one big mineshaft opening up would clear a load of problems

I'm glad you agree. Bodmin really is a dull, depressing $hithole. The only thing of interest was St. Lawrence's Psychiatric Hospital, even that has gone now.

From "The meaning of Liff" by Douglas Adams:

BODMIN (n.)
The irrational and inevitable discrepancy between the amount pooled and the amount needed when a large group of people try to pay a bill together after a meal.

..now why doesn't this surprise me (given the thread, participants and their names )

Meaning of Liff.. one of my fav. bathroom books.

and LiB.. you've "been Bodmin" havent you?

No thanks, I don't eat chicken..

that weren't chicken boy ...

Must've heard a kiwi was coming for Christmas and decided to help me feel at home.

But seriously, 2.2.... (shaking head)...most of NZ has been rocking more than that in recent days!

Ah now, Bodmin. I've spent many a happy hour out on the moor when I should have been working at the water treatment works near St Breward. Just inspecting the water quality, honest.

all alone on the moors?.. weren't you afraid of the beast?

El gryncho...quick question, if let's say Cornwall really would fall into sea (along with your little thatch there)...will you be offering diving courses?

LiB'y... first of all...
no thatch,
and I don't go down anymore.. I have people do that for me.

That's not what I heard...

it was the fever.. she didn't know what she was saying... honest.
