 I wasn't surprised to see reports on the Internet of a mid- scaled, 4.5 Earthquake had rattled the heck out of Britain this AM...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7266136.stm

 The British Isles have recently become a serious study of The Geological Society, with all of the earthquakes that have been happening over there for for the past few years... And they have been growing in intensity, with this recent one having aftershocks for hours that really had many people in a panic.

 I am absolutely grateful that no one has been reported as dead, or seriously injured as of yet.

 Now then, when such news from across the pond is recieved here in the USA, it is often reported of course, by BBC- America's outstanding reporting team, who all seem to display such a dis-passionate... Well, "Dryness ", that even their reporting of the most serious events, seems unintentionally funny to us Yanks... And we can't help but giggle at the "Proper Tone, Usage and Pacing of The Vocal Presentation Of The King's English" as spoken by them...

 However, the Irish News Presenter's in the hilarious video below have no such constraints, and if you think that foul language in news reporting will offend you, I urge you not to listen! :)

I love Guinness and it's my pleasure to be a member of the 1759 Society... I'll be in the St. Patricks Day Spirit all through the month of March! :)
