And good to see Cricket Australia, Cricket SA and the ECB contributing

Yep it is and Premier League Clubs have given £50,000 each totalling £1Million

 

[marc71178]

Although Man United's players have donated £100k of their own, and Dwight Yorke is trying to get every player to give a week's wages.

Hope they're gift aiding all this!

 

[Tom Halsey]

Shows what good people Man United all are.

 

[marc71178]

I expect it's all come from one person, who's quite vocal in the dressing room who suggested it and the rest agreed.

And I think that person would be the right back.

 

[chris.hinton]

Yep i think so too Marc...... I think Kanu will give a lot as well

Super Wes Brown!

 

[marc71178]

No, I have it on good authority that all the players just laugh at Wes Brown.

A bit like we all laugh at him as well!

 

[Tom Halsey]

Sounds a bit like Neville, I agree there.

The earthquake supposedly made the earth wobble on its axis. It also may have caused some islands to shift as much as 20m.

Over 135,000 dead now.

Heard something an hour or so ago that said something like it was rising to the realms of 150,000.
Either way it's gonna keep going up and before all that long it's going to be totally impossible to put a figure on the combined direct and indirect deaths... already well beyond possibility to guesstimate the damage.

 

[biased indian]

un said that it will be 1,50,000 plus plus, as they are not counting every body any more it could well be over 2,00,000

A Million would be 1,000,000
