    best post of the day Dan....... we all get far too carried away with things that are not more important than life and death.

    Absolutely terrible and puts things we think are important into perspective

    Was talking to the Trucker earlier on and he mentioned The picture on the front of Todays Indo, It is heartbreaking, a man carrying his daughters body - Such a sad site made me want to cry i Can not imagine how the poor people will manage to get through this,

    Makes me think how easy we have things and we truly live priviliged lives

    I am going to make some kind of donation today to try give a lillt bit of help to them (very lillte i know but this has made me realise how lucky we are)

    Just after seeing this now. Heart breaking is right and an image we could all look at.
