Yeah I saw it on the news and the first place I thought of was Monster. So, erm, considering all the buzz I take it you guys don't get many earthquakes? 4.7 is kinda weak.

I was fast asleep :)

The biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across large parts of England.

People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Manchester, the Midlands and Norfolk and also parts of Wales, felt the tremor just before 0100 GMT.

A man suffered leg injuries when a chimney collapsed in South Yorkshire.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre of the 5.3 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire.

I slept through it... although others who live nearby noticed it! I would have been gutted if my TV had fallen over because of it!

Everyone I talked to was like, "OMG Did you feel that earthquake?"
And I was like, "erm, what earthquake?"

Since the 'Great Quake of 08', I have a new profound enjoyment for Life after my Near Death experience.

It's in that I bid you farewell, I nearly died on Wednesday. It made me realise life is too short, good luck and May God Bless you All.

I was playing online when the quake struck and a few people were asking if anyone felt it, after a few seconds I heard then felt it (made me feel abit sea sick for some reason) then some frends went off line for a little while and came back saying they had had a power cut.
