URGENT - GLASGOW EARTHQUAKE APPEAL
AT 00.54 ON MONDAY 9th AUGUST 2004 A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE HIT MEASURING 4.8 ON
THE RICHTER SCALE EPICENTERED ON GLASGOW.
Victims can be seen wandering aimlessly muttering:"Ah wiz shittin' masel",
"Ah need some jellies" "Ah need a fag and a Cally Spesh". The Earthquake
decimated the area, causing approximately £30 worth of damage, with the
exception of the Possil area, where approx. £375,000 of improvements were
made.
Untold disruption and distress was caused. Many were woken well before
their giro arrived. Several priceless collections of mementos from the
Balearics and Spanish Costas were damaged. Three areas of historic and
scientifically significant litter were disturbed.
The cone fell off the head of the statue of the Duke of Wellington outside
the Gallery of Modern Art. That on his horse Copenhagen, managed to remain
on the horse's head, albeit at a jaunty angle. Thousands are confused and
bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting
has happened in Glasgow.
One resident, Mary-Alice McGregor, a 17 year old mother-of-three said: "It
was such a shock, little Chelsea came running into my bedroom crying. My
youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Shauni slept through it. I was still shaking
when I was watching Trisha the next morning."
Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal. The British Red Cross
have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Buckfast Tonic Wine to the area
to help the stricken masses. Rescue workers are still searching through the
rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings including
benefit books and jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos.
HOW YOU CAN HELP

£2 buys chips, scraps and "ginger" - preferably Dunn's or Alpine "Iron Brew"
for a family of four.
£10 can take a family to Coatbridge for the day, where children can sniff
glue and spike up among the national collection of stinging nettles.
22p buys a biro for filling in a spurious compensation claim.
£1.95 buys an "All Day" bus ticket to enable disaster victims to travel
between the Social, the Posty, the Offy, McDonalds, and Whateverys, and
Glasgow Green or Elder Park for the refugees garden party.

Originally an email doing the rounds a year or two back called 'Essex
Earthquake Appeal'. For Glasgow and Coatbridge read Basildon and
Canvey Island..
A nasty little troll who doctors original emails to reflect his hatred
of a large part of Scotland's population, its biggest city and busiest
airport....
Sadly for Scotland, due to such examples of sectarianism and ignorance
we'll probably never be independent. (

Hello Andy! Let me address your points.
I am not a nasty little troll who doctors emails as you can see
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Jokes__Review_5310602
I read it on a web page. I believe sectarianism means predudice about some
persons religion, tell me where i made
fun of anyones religion, creed, colour.
Well i would be happy to stay in the UK, if it means being governed by
illiterate morons like yourself under an independant Scotland.
Dont think i will get a reply from you.
Peace off!!!!

I can see Edinburgh's appeal now
Clothes;
Versace Dresses for the women
Gucci and Guess for the men
Lacoste trainers but preferably real Italian Leather loafers
Foodstuffs;
Caviar with Continental Breads
Veal escalopes with New potatoes
Red Burgundy or White Wine
Chocolate and Vannila bean cheesecake with truffle mousse
Aye right sir. Yes Glasgow has it's downside but that isn't to say
Edinburgh is just like Beverly Hills.Get your facts right before you
dare stereotype us.
