Did anybody from the UK feel the earthquake that happened at about 1am GMT this morning? I didn't, was still trying to get to sleep at that time.

I did. I was up reading at the time, though I had no idea it was an earthquake at the time. I thought it was just a truck going up the road behind our house, since a lot of them go up there late at night with deliveries and stuff. I had some music on, so I couldn't tell.

Was anyone hurt at all?

I didn't reach as far as Glasgow, where I'm living at the minute, nor would it have reached the Emerald Isle. Thankfully, there were no deaths or serious injuries, although I hope the guy who broke his pelvis makes a speedy recovery.

I felt nothing at all but I sleep like a log. If a hurricane came through my house I would not know about it till the morning

Much like the fact that we have millions of homeless and poor people, yet rather than putting significant funds in to that, it all goes elsewhere. I understand that helping other countries is important, but at this rate we'll not fix their problems and we'll just make our own worse. :/
