Too bloody right it was near Hull, we felt it big style. Proper sh&t us up, but thankfully no damage. Don't fancy experiencing many of those, god knows what a big one in SFO feels like.

Yet another attempt to remove Hull from the face of the earth that has failed. What next? volcano? meteor strike? alien death ray?
