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!

I have DH and DS, who is a toddler, so only counts as a half.

Who's driving?

urm urm...I can shoot a gun and only poo once a week

Am I in?

I dont wish to alarm anyone, but it seems its all true, The Simpsons have predicted it

watch the video lol

[ponders] Do you think we should invite Riven? She mentioned today that her family have 2 blue badges and we won't fit in one parent and child space if we need to stop at Asda.

I have a DP who is very practical and will be Useful. He has a degree in engineering and can weld stuff, mend cars, climb mountains etc. Also 2 teenage DDs. I can't guarantee any usefulness on their behalf tbh but they are quite decorative and pleasant to talk to...

I can cook if that helps and am v good at keeping things neat and clean. I will also be excellent at raiding and looting as will Big Dog.

Can't think of anything useful Little Dog can do. He could be useful for cuddling if anyone is traumatised?

Yes, we have room for Riven & co.

Good thinking kungfu. Zombie traffic wardens are a nightmare.

Repopulating? Does this mean there will be lots of very necessary shagging breeding?

Thanks alot MrsC. Wine snorted all over my laptop and OH looking at me like I am weird.

You need to stress to him the seriousness of the Plan. Once he knows it all, he'll totally get it, and be on board.

As my special skills, I can pour pints, lift heavyish things, and recognise edible berries.

I also have a dh who has a degree in engineering,that's why I'm leaving him behind.

I'm getting a little worried about my lack of skills. There is the kung-fu of course. I can take the zombies who manage to slip past the lacrosse-cavalry charge. I grow a mean tomato. Oh, and I can row.
And quilt.

I have way too many children to feel comfortable about bringing them all along - but the oldest are in their twenties, and I reckon the apocalypse is as good a time to cut the umbilical cord as any. They're on their own. DH has no initiative but is very patient and fastidious - any zombie-bashing would be done in a thorough and meticulous fashion.

I have cats. Am prepared to put them in the culinary pot, so to speak.

Another OH with an engineering degree here - do you think we need to diversify our OH skill-range?

Mine taps on a PC all day

DH can come along. He nearly has a chemistry degree. That might come in handy.
He probably knows how to make explosive (in fact he does, because we made some when we were in sixth form, but our iron oxide powder wasn't fine enough, and it didn't work )

I can also read maps.

Useful, MaDuggar, useful. He could keep tabs on the internet and tell us when civilization was re-established. That is, of course, if we hadn't already figured it out by the AIBU thread entitled "AIBU for telling this zombie f*cker to get out of my house and stop oozing on my carpets?"

Well my OH has just opted out of the MN armoured bus. His exact words. "Ask them why any of you think that I would want to be stuck in a bus with you bunch of mentalists. I'll take my chances with the zombies, thanks."

one down,that's another space free!

Sucks to be him. We'll be laughing it up on the bus with our rice pudding and booze, cooking bacon on a horse shit campfire.

He'll be and also a zombie.

Did no-one watch The Simpsons video? :(

He's quite big. He would probably have spread his knees apart and occupied half of someone else's seat in an annoying man-like way. Good riddance.

I would really like to join you all but I have nothing to contribute, except the aforementioned books for fuel, 2 outdated TVs, a husband who is a Teaching Fellow (computers) and a nearly 17 month old son.

I myself am a graphic artist.

sigh Doomed to be eaten by a zombie. Why didn't I study something zombie apocalypse useful?!??

I've got no sound for some reason, MaDuggar. Can't hear it.

Shall we let Tee in? The graphic artist skills could be useful for documenting the aftermath of the appocalypse in an accessible way for future generations.
