The area that they're all happening in is 500 miles away to the East. We've felt nothing here.

I know a lot of people from that area (that come to work here in the summer). I guess we'll find out in the next couple of days if they're OK.

Stop this video at 44 seconds. Two high rise look almost unscathed what looks strange considering what is happening all around.

Buildings can be designed to be very earthquake resistant, might just be a better design.

[Yambo]

A lot of the collapsed buildings were probably built before the regulations regarding earthquake resistance came into law. I think the construction laws were changed in the 1990s but may have bee n earlier.

All buildings are required to have DASK (earthquake) insurance. I renewed mine last month, cost was about £15. It may well be more expensive for older buildings but my house was built to conform to the earthquake regs. What surprised me were buildings collapsing in Diyarbakir- nearly 200 miles away from the epicentre of the big quake.

One thing stood out: In the piles of concrete rubble there wasn't any rebar visible. Not all the piles, but a good number of them.

Did I hear somewhere that a 2000 year old castle thing was destroyed in the quake? That would put any comments about recent shoddy building techniques into a different context.

Yes, I think it's safe to say earthquakes like that are rare there.

Just when you think you've seen the worst that reality TV stars can promote in the name of self-enrichment, along comes something that makes you wonder....

"To promote the product - called Lemme Purr - she posted an Instagram video of herself, surrounded by cats, as she eats one of the gummies.

"Vaginal health is such an important part of a woman's overall wellbeing (and not talked about enough) which is why we are so excited to launch this," the caption reads.

One of the main claims Kourtney makes is that the vitamin sweets can alter the taste of the vagina.

"Give your vagina the sweet treat it deserves (and turn it into a sweet treat)," Kourtney continues."

If she's talking distasteful cunts, maybe she should take a look in the mirror.

Well now hoss,you may wish to identify as a woman,but as yet there's no obligation to also own a Swedish car.

Speaking of BBC news...watching another hatchet job on the energy companies and to emphasise some point or other about the energy market they introduced 'a former BP executive' who proceeds to labour some point about the hydrocarbon world. Fair enough thinks I, he's been in the game. Wife's voice behind me pipes up, 'What?!! He was in HR!'

[Mr. Dazzle]

Still not the least qualified opinion they've had.
