... 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!

I just made the Xmas cakes!
They may not get fed their brandy over the next few weeks, it'll be needed for important things.
Like me Grin

TitsalinaBumSquash · 04/11/2010 17:23

my boobies looke pert then!

You can offer the cake to the zombies. There's always a chance they'll go for it.

I still don't understand the zombies. But apparently they were 'behind' Swine Flu and Bhopal. Which makes everything much clearer, no?

Tee2072 · 04/11/2010 17:26

Don't worry about the zombies (humorous link)

TitsalinaBumSquash · 04/11/2010 17:27

Tits is a perfectly fine word... eh hem, but not tittys that just as bad as moist, gusset and discharge and panties....

Joolyjoolyjoo · 04/11/2010 17:27

Oh FFS- the world as we know it is due to end the day before my birthday?? That is blummin typical Angry Although if we all survive until after the day, DH might actually get me a decent pressie in the looting..

abr1de · 04/11/2010 17:28

'creeping buzzkill of logic', yup, that's what we need, Tee2072!

TitsalinaBumSquash · 04/11/2010 17:29

Nothing says 'I love you' like some looted Diamonds... Grin

Joolyjoolyjoo · 04/11/2010 17:31

Well, absolutely, Titsalina- especially if he had to fight off swarms of zombies to procure them Grin Very milk-tray-man! (obviously would want some chocs to go with them there diamonds- you can't eat diamonds, you know!)

MaDuggar · 04/11/2010 17:32

Just did my shopping and didnt even buy an extra tin of beans Grin guess Im not that worried then ...

Tee2072 · 04/11/2010 17:33

Well, abr1de, if you explore that site I linked to, there are also two articles about why a Zombie Apocalypse could happen! Grin

GuyFawkesIsMyLoveSlave · 04/11/2010 17:33

We are two doors away from local Sainsbury's express store so I am banking on being able to get in there before the other looters.

Would probably be OK on food for a bit, but water more of an issue. Have lots of wine, though...

Tee2072 · 04/11/2010 17:35

I am greatly amused that most Mumsnetters would die of thirst but be plenty drunk!! Grin

RibenaBerry · 04/11/2010 17:43

I have tons of food, but few drinks and, as I live in a highly populated bit of London in a tiny house, I will be dead within minutes. We will be looted by the scary teenagers who hang around on the corner by the Co-Op.

Is it best to be one of the first to go?

Alouiseg · 04/11/2010 17:43

Dh was thoroughly over excited about a once in a lifetime meeting in US last night.

Could have all sorts of repercussions Hmm allegedly.

RibenaBerry · 04/11/2010 17:44

Ooh, do tell Alouiseg?

MrsChemist · 04/11/2010 17:48

Can't be the 17th, I'll miss the new Harry Potter film Shock

Alouiseg · 04/11/2010 17:52

I'll have to ask him to explain it to me first without tuning out.

Then it'll be like Chinese whispers when I attempt to explain it on here.

Safer just to buy a giraffe knife, some gin and zombie repellant.

Hassled · 04/11/2010 17:52

You don't want looted diamonds. Think of the handbag and shoe potential in a zombie/ apocalyptic/no Barack/no water but lots of gin scenario. I'd nick SarahStratton's horse and head for the Mall. DH lacks initiative - I'd have to do it myself.

MrsChemist · 04/11/2010 17:55

I've heard zombies are allergic to baking powder.

True story.

The Mayan Calender Long Count will reach 13.0.0.0.0 on 21 or 23 December AD 2012 - a not too distant future.

MaDuggar · 04/11/2010 17:56

Alouiseq - was that the feds 100 year celebration?

NorhamGardens · 04/11/2010 17:57

I might have to have a media blackout as 2012 approaches..sigh. Can you imagine the build up?

Probably good for high end resorts, people probably securing places on wonderful islands just in case or good excuse etc.
