This morning, I was eating my breakfast and watching a bit of the news for the snooker results. I had a cup of tea in my hand and was eating my usual breakfast.
I heard a crack and all of a suden my roof fell in. Not just a little bit, the whole bloody roof. I jumped out of my skin and threw the cup of tea into the air. After the first bit fell, I paused and saw that the rest was coming down as well. I leaned into an area by the window and watched the rest fall past me.
I was seriously lucky. I am not sure why it fell in. I checked for dampness but it was all dry. I have a mate who is a joiner coming round after work to check it out.
I keep looking up at it. I still can't believe my living room roof is now on the floor.
I need a beer.

Not got camera unfortunately. I am gonna buy one of those throw away ones later . I have looked upstairs in the area where the roof fell. There is still wooden bits where the roof fixed onto. I am trying to move anything heavy incase any more falls. It may just be old age. His house is old and I don't know if the roof has ever been fixed.

Possible causes
1: you are very athletic in the bedroom
2: You overdo it with the baked beans/curry
3: Your woodworms have been watching Fred Dibna on Sky

Sark,
you might feel at the moment as though the roof has fallen in on your life, however things can only get better, do not despair, leave it to your dad to repair.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Cheers Dewi. Yea my Dad is one of those kind of people who can walk into the pub and get a team of volunteers to help. So I am sure it will work out ok. It is crazy the amount of rubble and dust that is all over the place. It is even in the kitchen and hall.
yea Gryffles, I hope so..

Glad you're ok Sark.
This happened to me about 5/6 years ago and it really is rather scary at the time. We were settling down to play a home game, I'd just poured the drinks and we were getting ready to deal the first hand when we heard a horrofic noise coming from above and all but 1 of us threw ourselves towards the edges of the room. The whole ceiling came down, somehow none of it hit the person who didn't move and the rest of us managed to evade the falling bits as well apart from a couple of glancing blows from small pieces, no injuries.
Unfortunately a piece of ceiling about a foot across fell straight onto my solid oak coffee table and cracked it in half and the drinks were ruined, a bit annoying as they were made with a lovely vodka my russian friends had brought over for me the day before.
The real lucky aspect of it was that about a minute before it happened someone had complained about it being hot so my flatmate had left the room to turn the heating off. He'd been sat in the middle seat of the sofa with the table in front of him so it's unlikely he would've got out of the way. When the dust settled we saw the biggest part of the ceiling resting on the sofa exactly where he'd been sat.
The look on his face was priceless when he came back in wondering what all the noise was, he thought we'd knocked over the bookcase.
Not surprisingly we abandoned the game for the night and went to the pub where we got some very strange looks as 6 of us walked in coated from head to toe in a fine whit dust
