I agree that is scary shit. It's making me uneasy. I'm going to focus on it being moved back again after a peaceful Trump presidency. This 4 years can't go fast enough, it's like a waiting game.

The closest it's ever got was in the 50s when both the Soviet Union and the USA were testing hydrogen bombs

A group of scientists on behalf of the 'Bulletin of Atomic Scientists' if I recall?

Here is a quick guide.

I'm afraid it's only Wikipedia.

Well done, megle - but might I suggest some single malt to go with them? Grin

I've told DH now is the time I am finally allowing him to get the multi-year supply of MREs he has his heart set on. We are very close to the American border and I am actually genuinely worried.

Strewth - MREs ? That's second mortgage territory.

What's an MRE?
And what would be scary on the American border?
Will they really build a wall?
Sorry, I'm a bit dim.

PS - MrsTerry is at the other (northern) end if I recall. No walls there.

Yet.

Will they build a wall against the Canadian border too? Haven't hear anything like that but you never know. The Huffington post wrote about it. Out of curiosity I wonder if it, should it be built, be bigger (longer) than the Chinese wall?

Longest undefended border in the world. I don't think they have enough bricks.

I was going to agree with you, MrsTerry, until I realised that I'm still guilty of old-fashioned thinking.

You know - logical and so on.

Anyway. Enough of all this doom and gloom. Let's keep Incitatus in his stable.

Has your DH sourced any decent MREs? Smile
