My aunt and uncle, who live in the village of Lissington which is but a stone’s throw from Market Rasen, the epicentre of last night’s earthquake (the UK’s largest for over 20 years), reported the following via SMS:
“They ran outside as the whole house shook & everything rattled & loud ‘roar’ like train. Still no damage.” Underground rumbling..crack in driveway opened and went back together again. Took 10 seconds. All across the fields the lights were on, the whole of Lincolnshire lit up!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (UPI) — Pakistani authorities’ efforts to block access to the video-sharing Web site YouTube from Internet addresses in their own country effectively shut down the site altogether at the weekend, disrupting access to it by would-be visitors from all over the world.
PS: Ironically (29 Feb info) I’ve just found out that the current server sitting neatly in its rackspace now used for ion was originally the youtube development server.
