I felt it, Mike across the way felt it, no-one else mentioned it, how strange. Or was it just war-paranoia?

location?

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Were both Mike and you engaged in an amorous clinch at the time?

Nothing's moving in Dublin AS PER BLOODY USUAL, btw.

Yorkshire appears to be stable.

This was Uxbridge, and no Lara, I am only clinching forecast reports at the moment. No one else in the office felt it either, which is a little odd.

Have you seen Tremors?

You can always look here: www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk in a day or so and see if you were the epicenter of a small quake!

Maybe you had a Vindaloo last night?

hey chris i am just a couple of miles from you in Ruislip but i felt nothing...i worry about living so close to the Air Force Base though

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Lara you are very very cheeky.

oh crap, I forgot about the base. (bases if you include Northolt)

Right now I'm hearing choppers whirring overhead.

yeah, it was probably just a stealth bomber coming in to land.

we hear and kind of feel Concorde quite clearly, every morning at five to eleven, but this felt quite different.

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

I here helicopters all the time, and if I look west on a clear day at sunset, I can see loads of vapour trails from jet planes, it's quite pretty.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

I can hear a pneumatic drill right now as it gnashes its way through concrete.

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I can see the endo fthe runway at Heathrow over my left shoulder. The first time I saw a plane coming into land I didn't realiose it was over there and thought I had witnessed a plane crash. Just as well I didn't shout about it to therest of the office.

I love working on the seventh floor.

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:30 (twenty-three years ago)

working in Ealing is also 'classic' for catching the roar of the Concorde - but they seem to be rotating the flight path a bit more so it was very inconsistent

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I was at Bedfont FC last night and their pitch is right at the bottom of one of the Heathrow runways - having a 747 soar over your head every 60 seconds at 100ft is scary. A bit on the loud side an' all - I kept feeling myself ducking.

Where I live is underneath Concorde's inbound flight path. In the summer I like to sit in the garden and watch it go overhead.

― j0e (j0e), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:51 (twenty-three years ago)

possibly also classic for catching bits of it as they fall off.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 12:51 (twenty-three years ago)

*glares at Ed over nose cone*

Erm... isn't this ever so slightly distracting for the players? Not to mention windy...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 14:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Wasn't windy at all actually. I suppose the home players are used to it - and anyway we still managed to beat them 2-1.

Up on 27th floor of a high rise on the south bank and felt nothing. Although whilst i was eating lunch by the river four ambulances shot along the Strand followed by a police boat on the river itself.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

ten years pass...

Someone's using a big JCB attached pneumatic drill in the street outside. I think they'll be hear all weekend.
