Christchurch earthquakes

[Mom]

If it's fucked it will be a bastard, but my family are all safe and bugger all damage to my house.

Priorities intact

Want to come stay up here for a bit?

Thanks, but I just want to get back to life as normal (if such a thing exists any more). One day soon we'll all take a break, but not just yet.

When you are ready. The offer stands

I'm still alive ...

Any word on Adrian?

[Hinny]

No not harsh I just think that what Bob Parker and even the Civil Defence Minister John Carter say is more valuble because they are giving out advise and facts not speaches.
Any way my thoughts are with all our Cantabrian freinds, tough times and I would not wish what you are going through on any one. Stay strong.

John Key does have a bit of a look of a possum in the headlights but that is to be expected given the vicissitudes of his job in these very difficult circumstances. His funny eye doesn't help.
There really is no need to go into a swivet over his performance though as it is to be expected that he would be there; even though he does come across as a bit of a third wheel with others performing so well.
The man who has impressed me the most is Bob Parker.
He has been fantastic. Speaking with intelligence and clarity.
Caring and compassion flowing from his soul.
Bloody well done.

Who would like to be in the shoes of either of them eh?
Who would like to be in Christchurch? Not me.

Yay, we has lectrick back

Ironic, we got smashed in the september earthquake, this time just a bit of sand to clean up and a slightly iffy sewer system. Interesting watching the people on tv talking about liquefaction and fucked roads, just thinking yeah been there done that, and it sucks.

But anyway,

If anyone needs a bed, a bit of floor, garage space for a bike or just somewhere with lights and running water and cold beer in the fridge to hang out for a while please let me know. We also have an empty flat that is intact except for it's chimney missing if anyone is homeless, it's not going to get rented until we clean up the silt outside so if you want it for a while please let me know.

I'm off down there tomorrow morn to be there and check on my family and friends.
Taking down some empty 20l containers with me.

Is there anything anybody needs me to do for them, bring down for them etc that I can within my limited means?
Even if it means visiting someone for them.


Cheers

Best if ya filled em up... and giz a bell if in the neighbourhood

I'm still alive - only just got power back. Sadly my bike is in town across the road from the CTV building.

If it's fucked it will be a bastard, but my family are all safe and bugger all damage to my house.

Ohhhhh.. I thing you are in the market for a new bike, time for that Guzzi D

[cooneyr]

I was working in the CBD, my bike fell along with all the others beside it. Pales in comparison to the toll some people have to suffer though

Saw you (your bike) when you passed me (on my treadly) on the way to work on Tuesday morning I think.


Do any locals want any help? I've plenty of hand tools, shovels etc to help. More than happy to do a bit of physical labour Managed to get gas in the KTM EXC today which perfect for getting around town. I'm an Civil Engineer (not a structural one through) so have a bit of nouse. I'm not needed in a professional capacity yet.

PM me or text 021 2988 206.

Hey everyone!

I'm very thankful for all the kind messages of support I have had from fellow KB members in the days after this terrible tragedy. I thought people would be busting out the champagne at the mere thought about the possibility of my untimely demise.

I came out of the quake unscathed, but I don't have power at my place so I haven't been able to use a computer until now, at my mates place.

If anyone needs any help with anything, fixing up the house, water, or anything like that then don't hesitate to contact me and I'll do what I can to help.

Cheers,
Chris

quick post to help answer a few messages sent my way... I have been to or spoken with most SI KB rallyers 'Goblin' yet to contact Petra but her place is out of harms way, HOT (shit helen you have a lot of followers) is busy at work dealing with people that have had their lims removed on site by chain saw etc, however I can confirm her 100yr old viller has decesed, still livable like most houses on the flat be it no sewer water etc.
GB and lover boy Ant all good
Remember if theer is a lack of posts from locals its due to lack of power and or way to busy.

The areas I have been are under more mud and water than you can emagine, roading is 4x4 usage due to some massive holes and cracks, people are dealing with it well.

... yet to contact Petra but her place is out of harms way...

I've heard from her, she's OK. I just got power back on last night. Water could be some time by the look of the street, but I have a good supply in containers.

Thanks for the heads-up D. - nice that so far all the Canterbury Rabble seem to have come through OK.

Is there any outstanding ones? have we missed anybody?

Thanks D. Thought that might be the case but good to have confirmation.

Thinking of you all at this terrible time. Wish there was something we could do to help. Big hugs to the Canterbury Rabble.
