earthquake hit manchester [joke thread - this has not really happened]

An earthquake measuring 5.7 on the richter scale hit Salford this
morning. The epicentre was Ordsall. Casualties were seen
wandering aimlessly saying "bang out of order" "mental" and
"sorted".

The earthquake decimated the area causing in excess of £17.55 worth
of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Ibiza
and Corfu were damaged beyond repair. Three preserved areas of
historic importance where burned out cars were destroyed, were
wrecked. Many locals were woken before their giro's arrived.

One resident, Kylie Sharon Smith, a 15 year old mother of four
said, "It was such a f***kin shock, little Chardonnay-Destiny came
running into my bedroom crying, my hands were shaking that much I
could hardly skin-up".


The British Red Cross has so far managed to send 4000 crates of
Sunny Delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers
are still searching through the rubble and have found numerous
'Elizabeth Duke' sovereign rings, benefit books and Poundstretcher
ornaments.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal hopes to raise money for food and clothing parcels for
those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster.
Clothing is most sought after. Urgently needed are LaCoste
tracksuits, white socks, Burberry caps, Beanie hats and Reebok
trainers.

Food parcels are also needed. They include McCain oven chips, Aldi
beans, Monster Munch and Iceland pizza. Alcohol is also in short
supply, especially White Lightening Cider and Special Brew.

Cash donations are also needed.22p buys a 'signing on' biro, £2.50
buys a Jumbo Sausage Dinner, £20.00 buys a fake MOT and £16.00 buys
200 Regal from the back of Tommo's lorry.

Your help is appreciated.

Muwhahaha. I work in Salford with a guy who is so completely like that it's almost Little Britain-esque. I actually heard him say 'pure' once and he meant it seriously. :frown:

All this is a bit stereotypical isn't it? Actually no its Ordsall sounds very correct to me :biggrin:

Funnily enough three years ago I was in a lecture in Salford and there was quite a big quake. It was really strange one minute the lecture was banging on about the principles of MIDI the next the room shook the room was silent for two minutes then the lecture just carried on as if nothing had happened.

It turned out the epicentre was just half a mile away.

PS There was no earthquake in Manchester this thread is just a joke in case people are confused.

That's yet another rip off of the classic "Earthquake hits Basildon". Possibly the one of the oldest cut and paste jokes ever... :smile:
