    Hope you guys are OK down there, especially Crim. I see that liquifaction is in your area.

    Transalp fell off centrestand onto sawbench. Damage will inevitably be less than excess, so it'll just have to stay that way. Fortunately hardly any liquefaction at our place this time. Spare a thought for those in the east....

    Your poor Transalp.... again.
    Mine was up on the trolley jack and I was undoing the front axle at the time.
    Got a good look at how they rock in my garage, would have made good video.
    I actually leaned against the wall and held on to the handlebars as she was rocking a bit on the jack but in the end I think it was stable enough to stay put without me (it's a wide jack).
    In the slightly bigger shake which came later on I was upstairs and had to brace the PC tower. Don't stack a couple of external harddrives on top of your tower, it makes it top heavy which is bad.
    Bikes stayed up unassisted in that too. Feel very lucky to be living in this Flat.

    Glad you and your shed are OK (and you Crim). I was at our work's break-up function, which needless to say got broken up. Severely uncool - didn't even get a pudding on the company.

    Nothing of any note happened at home. Was just having a couple of beers at work in our new building. False ceiling makes strange squeaking noises but all good.

    Phones started going with fellas having to get teams out looking at bridges and roads. Fell a bit sorry for the contractors who were hoping for a bit of time off and yet also feel sorry for those who need power, water, sewers working again too. Bloody terrible timing for all parties.

    Anyways - hope all have a very Merry Christmas whatever their circumstances. Have a good one guys.

    Cheers R

    No no, but it sounds like the pom may be cancelled if he does the Dusty Butt.

    Not a good thing to have I expect mr thepom.

    Hardly worth going if the Pom's not going to be there, what will we do for laughs???

    Thanks mate. After all the work getting ready you do something stupid and it all has to be packed in

    Probably better than having to arrange a chopper for him. Given Fran is coming with his camera I'm sure there will be some entertainment.
