    I do not blame them. I would be feeling the same.

    At least you've got one that still works, they start digging up the road tomorrow to completely replace the sewer line here, portaloos for a bit longer yet I think.

    At least you've got portaloos. Still no water here, no portaloos, and no idea when the water's going to be back. There was a flurry of activity in the street when I went out this afternoon with holes being dug about the place but still no water yet. Maybe they were fixing the sewage pipes 'cos they're broken too. Oh well, the house is OK, although the cracks are getting bigger as the shocks continue and the power's on. I'm better off than many.

    Yep, at least I wasn't moving out on saturday morning because the house was collapsing like some around here.

    I was amused by the people that had a look around where they live, decided everything was ok and carried on as normal, didn't seem to occur to some that what they were flushing down their loo could be pouring out of a broken pipe on the way to bromley into some poor bastards back yard.

    Exactly! Like the dumb shits I've heard on the radio who live by the Avon river and don't have water, so they're using buckets of water from the river to flush their toilets! Where exactly do they think they're flushing it? If the water pipes are broken then the sewer pipes probably are too!

    our building managers still arent giving us the all clear. I went in to the building today, and no damage I can see except one of my motorbike models (thankfully the cheap one not the real expensive minichamps one) took a dive and broke the fairing.

    And people laugh at my "Integrated, floor level, horizontally dispersed filing system". Well all that shit on the floor is still on the floor, so suck on that.

    We've had some furniture fall over but I reckon two hours work and we're good to go..... when they let us back in.

    same. but the council do say that if you have water you are allowed to flush. Just to boil drinking water.

    Same here, the word is we won't be back in until next week. The council have green stickered the building but apparently it's a mess inside and we've been told to stay away.

    Interesting site. I had a chuckle when I saw the Tourism Canterbury One - the japs must be over the moon with all the shit to take photo's of now

    And why am I still up? Well I went outside to take my pre bed leak on the lawn and heard the sound of running water - most unusual since there's nothing coming out of the taps. I tracked it down to a new spring I now have in the garden and a moat around part of the house. It looks as though the guys working in the street this afternoon have fixed the breaks and got the water back on but the mains are broken where they come into the house - not surprising really given the 50mm gap around the house now. So I've turned the water off at the street and told the council who have told civil defence. The guys I spoke too were great - very helpful. They said they're manning the phones 24hours at the moment which is great.

    Anyway, off to bed. I might have a sleep in since there's no work.

    That last one, about half an hour ago now, was a good one - got things rocking.
