    RTE NEWS FLASH


    A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale has hit Tallaght in
    the early hours of Tuesday 2nd December 2003.



    Epicentre: The Square Shopping Centre.



    Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering "...bleedin story?","
    aaaaawrigh' bud" and "fUUUcksake".



    The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately ^30 worth of damage.



    Several priceless collections of mementos from Crete and Santa Ponza were
    damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were
    disturbed.

    Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheque arrived. The
    Tallaght News reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
    bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that the damage had
    not been caused by illegal means.



    One resident - Alexis Crystal Duffy, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "Ih was
    such a ****in' shock, me little wan Chardonnay Mercedes cem runnin' into me
    bedruem cryin'. Me youngisst two: Tyler-Morgan n Megan-Brooklyn slept tru ih
    all. Buh I was still shakin' when I was watchin' ****in'Rikki Lake leh-er in
    the ****in' mornin"

    Apparently though, looting, muggings and incidental crime did carry on as
    usual.



    The Irish Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Strongbow,
    Dutch Gold, frozen pizza and John Player Blue to the area to help the
    stricken locals.



    Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
    quantities of personal belongings, which include welfare books,jewellery
    including thousands of sovereign rings, many large medallions and Hash leaf
    ear rings from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and fine Bone China from Tommy's
    Wonderland of Value.



    HOW CAN YOU HELP

    This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing, parcels for those
    unfortunate to be caught up in this disaster.



    Clothing is most sought after, items most needed include:

    * Fila or Kappa baseball caps,

    * Hoodies (any type)

    * Tommy Hilfiger tracksuits (his and hers)

    * Nike/Adidas Shell suits (female)

    * White sport socks Rockport boots and any other items usually sold in
    TK Maxx.

    * Anything from Magic or Unique Boutique.



    Food parcels may be harder to come by, as refrigeration may be a problem,
    but are needed all the same.

    Required foodstuffs include:

    * McCains oven chips

    * Heinz baked beans

    * Goodfellas Frozen Pizza

    * Coke/Fanta

    * Strongbow Cider

    * Smirnoff Ice.

    * John Player Blue 15's. (unmarried mother handy pack)



    And remember that your contribution counts!

    Just 22c buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms and bookie slips.

    Just EUR5.00 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.

    Only EUR6.00 will pay for a packet of 20 Major to calm the nerves of those
    affected.



    Note: Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of such plush
    accommodation is unfair on the population of the local halting sites.

    I've a little tip for ya - next time you are gonna cut and paste an email, please remove all the details. We dont need to know the name, address, phone, fax, or mobile number of the person who originally sent it to you. And they may not be too impressed when someone uses their details, for a little "fun"

    I'm surprised that there isn't some sort of back lash with a post like this, does this mean there isn't a single person from tallaght on boards?
