Only a 5.2. Didnt feel like much in Lincoln.

....was under my truck taking the front diff out...i have been taking a few seconds to get my body under it and smacking my head on the bottom leaf of the spring every time...wheels off, one tallish axle stand under the front cross member...I cant remember even getting out from there but I reckon it took 1/2 a nano second and I didn't bash my head....fuck the return of them..that was big...

Fear and it's associated brown stuff is a great lubricant for rapid movement....Originally Posted by ellipsis
Shows how complacent we've got when you're happy to use just one axle stand Neil...felt it out here too, just rattled the windows though.

After a short pause I declared to the office "5.2" and kept on typing the e-mail I was doing. Guess that means I'm used to them.

Yeah. I rang them last week to make sure our claim was still alive. It is.

Christchurch aftershock knocks confidence
Hard to know what to say really... fuck the people protect the money springs to mind. Other than that, would an exodus of people to another area (a new Chch so to speak) leave enough "quality" property around to fill the void in regards to housing and quell the concerns of the insurance companies? Granted that would depend on what the folk of Chch think, but the options are slim given that it looks like nothing will really happen unless the insurance companies are satisfied.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Just faidin away!
My sympathy for Christchurch people gets less and less every time I see them on TV protesting about demolishing that pile of rubble in the square FFS!
Moving right along, aren't there enough "real" problems to deal with up there?

They are a minority. It's just that they get publicity. Most of us would be happy to see the back of it in the circumstances.My sympathy for Christchurch people gets less and less every time I see them on TV protesting about demolishing that pile of rubble in the square FFS!
What I wish someone would yell from the rooftops though is that while yes, it is technically feasible to save the pile of rubble, it would take a stupid amount of money ... and much more than it would cost just to build a new one.
The other thing that really pisses me off is that the protestors would be spending someone elses money not their own. If they want to front up with the xxx million required, go for it you ... you ... you ... damn. Can't think of a suitable collective noun for them.

i'm not a god botherer or anything but i think the cathedral is the most iconic building in nz, i've always looked at it more than any other building we have.My sympathy for Christchurch people gets less and less every time I see them on TV protesting about demolishing that pile of rubble in the square FFS!
shame they can't just ring fence it throw a tarp over it and let it sit for five years, then make a choice on it's future.
simple as that

Yep. A shame indeed but I think that in all respects we need to make pragmatic decisions unencumbered by emotion.
