"You cannot be Sirius" John Macenroe -

never felt the tremors at all - I remember the ones a few years back - it felt like a rhino had charged into the side of the house and several books fell off my shelves - quite startling

like the first line Arthur

there was a minor earthquake in the eighties, and the furniture shook downstairs, everyone was at their windows, it turned out the "source" was in Wales, something like that possibly caused the Aberfan landslide
