United Kingdom D-addicts?

OMG yes, I was studying in my room and I thought "who's running in the stairs that late?"
Then, I figured out that my housemates were thinking the same when we all met in the stairway pinch

That was the first time I experienced earthquake in my life. And I'm a bit surprised.
I called my family in France just to tell them nothing happened for me but nobody knew there was an earthquake!

lol ~ It sounded like someone was running up and down the stairs? Laugh

How are you liking life in Britain? Hope the Quake doesn't put you off pinch

Yeh thankfully it wasn't a major qauke...I doubt this country has the infrastructure to deal with anything major becasue if I'm correct the U.K. does not lie totally near any tectonic plate. Quakes happen here but albeit rarely I wonder if anyone knows what the highest/largest Earthquake to hit Britain was on the richter scale and when?

Well, the house we live in is quite shabby but the rent is low so I don't complain a lot actually.
But that's why I thought that someone was running in the stairs pinch

And we all experienced the earthquake feeling all together, it was OK.
It was the biggest quake since 1984, it was 5.4 on Richter scale, they kept saying that on the news...

It's been 2 years now that I live in England, not so far from London (Reading in Bershire), like is OK I mean no major problem, I did well in my studies last year but I'm definitely going back to France then when it'll be over.
I miss France and Paris so much, well especially Paris.
London is great but it's not the same or I still see London with "tourist's eyes" maybe ^^

But I've made very good friends here and I'm having a good time.

The thing I hate in this country is why do clubs and pubs close that early?!!
I couldn't believe it the first time I arrived here.
I don't know, in France, you begin to party at midnight, you can still in clubs until 6 or 7 or even more...

my sister on the other hand, she thought he deseased husband came back to haunt her as book were flying off her bookshelf behind her

I woke up to it actually snowing >.< However the snow didnt settle *sobs*. British weather is indeed insane. I kinda like its unpredictableness though, it means we can always blame the weather man.

Im not sure, but the only kind of places that might, would be in New Malden, in one of the suburbs of London, as its practically mini Korea.

Nice to meet you!
