If something HUGE was to happen ..

[MaDuggar]

... how long could you survive with what you have in your house right now?

Do you have any tins/bottled water etc put away in case of a emergency?

Have been frealing myself out reading some wacky conspiray sites (all baging on about something huge happeneing in the next 2 weeks) - Im not be;lieveing it, but it has made me think that one day there could be an event and I probably would only last a week with my store cupboard!

ohh with BBC 4 camped out in a nuclear bunker and alll ...

Yes, there are refurbishments going on currently, not sure it is exactly in a bunker some sort of 'other' building so my BBC friend tells me :)

Here

Some minor points of correction:

1. I have on good authority that it is whether the Today programme on Radio 4 goes out that determines whether or not the world has ended.

1. There would be a four minute warning and the announcer on duty would be led to the infamous bunker to broadcast an all-faith ecumenical service to the world.

1. Those of us at school in the 1970s have had training in end of world scenarios. You put a couple of doors against the wall, cover them with your children's PE kits and spare blankets, stock up with baked beans and wait a fortnight before emerging. Simples.

1. I worked over a massive bunker for years without the faintest clue it was mere metres away from me, so you may be lucky and have access to something nearby. If they don't shoot you first.

My friend has a bunker in her garden and she's not far away. But it's a small bunker and I actually don't really like her very much. What to do?

Kill her!

Thanks BoffinMUm - can the pE kits be unwashed?

Sorry, cant tell you ... its a conspiracy ....

Ok can i ask a really stupid question without being mocked to much for being a dunce?

This tipping thingy is prdicting something USA based and something financial...

So if the stock markets crashed what would happen?

Or if the Dollar collapsed what would happen?

for not knowing this!

I am uber freaked out about this now, i am particuary terrifed of WW3 starting.

Oh also... what is the given reason for Obama going to India?

Tits, dont worry I have been asking my DH the exact same questions!

His repky was that other countries would demand their debts back (this coudl lead to war)

Martial Law in the US

US imports would be very cheap, which would push teh uS down even further then affect our economy (not sure how 100%)

Stcok market crash would be felt worldwide

His officially published agenda is as follows...

Obama will leave Washington on November 5 and will arrive in Mumbai on November 6.
His first stop will be the iconic Taj Hotel, targeted by Pakistan-based terrorists in 2008. He will meet 26/11 survivors there.

He will then meet India Inc at the US-India Business Council.
On November 7, he will participate in Diwali celebrations with Mumbai school children.
The president will also interact with university students at the Town Hall, the highlight of the event will be his speech on democracy.
On November 8, Obama will be in the Capital. His first stop will be Humayun's tomb and Raj Ghat. The same day he will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and address Parliament. He will also meet President Pratibha Patil. His day will end with the state dinner hosted by the Prime Minister and his wife.
Obama will leave Delhi for Jakarta on November 9 morning.

Thanks :)

Um also what sort of thing could cause the dollar to collapse or the stock market to crash?

Just googled and got this ... "Several conditions must be in place before the dollar could collapse. First, there must be an underlying weakness. Second, there must be a viable currency alternative for everyone to stampede into. Third, a triggering event would need to occur. "

Well you learn something everyday... not that it will do any good when war is declared and were all getting bombed or called up to front line..

I must get a grip

What is LHC?

The large hadron collider - we might all just get sucked into a black hole yet.

I really hope nothing huge happens as i want to take my son to his first ever bonfire and firework display.

Can it not be rearranged till after xmas, i'm busy?

I don't really mind if the LHC ends the world as I guess it would be pretty instant.

It's stuff where I'm separated from ds and dh and/ or we all starve/ get chased by marauders etc. that freaks me out.

If any of you loonbags attempts to eat my chickens I'll....do something

The rich will be fine. They always are. Dave and Nick have promised to look after the poor.
The middle class drink bottled water and have fridge freezers.......It'll be fine.

I grew up knowing the Russians were going to blow us all up any minute.....In fact sometimes I even wondered if it was worth revising my latin for Fridays test. We would all be swept up in a mushroom cloud before then surely.

What is the LHC Eve?

What about the eggs? can we eat them?
