... 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!

On that 'Life after Apocolypse' programme last week, they did that the most dangerous humans in times of starvation were children, who would turn really nasty in order to get food.

So it is the Zombies then!

ClaireDeLoon · 05/11/2010 15:46

Roughly what part of the UK samay? I just want to know if it's worth going home from work or not.

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 15:47

Oh God I've been sitting here chatting. I should have been packing the OFRS.

Tee2072 · 05/11/2010 15:48

I forgot I have a baseball bat. So I can help with the looting.

I have four healthy, strong sons who are from good healthy stock. Their father got me pregnant 5 times in 8 years, also he has all his own teeth. So they would be a valuable comodity

I can ride after a fashion, and look after horses - I don't have a horse personally but I could lay my hands on about six of them with little difficulty if you lot come along with a few pitchforks.

DH and I have actually now discussed coverting the living flame gas fire to a real fire!!! Grin

BoffinMum · 05/11/2010 15:56

I have three sons and a daughter who can cook a gourmet meal with any ingredients at all in any circumstance, so I think we will be sorted for agriculture and catering.

I think this thread should be put on this list

listverse.com/2009/03/16/top-10-bizarre-cases-of-mass-hysteria/

On a seperate note number 2 on the list is quite funny Grin

nikki1978 · 05/11/2010 15:59

Arrrggghhh my post was number 666. I'm being thrown into the fiery pit when the apocalpyse comes aren't I? Grin

I am now reassessing whether we ought to be taking any DCs at all in the light of Vintage's post about feral children. Or are MN children far too civilised to descend to such levels?

On a side note, I just saw a woman clutching an old-fashioned wooden tennis racquet on Vauxhall station. Is it possible that I saw a fellow MNetter complete with looting stick?

Tee2072 · 05/11/2010 16:07

I think we can use our own personal feral children to our advantage. We can hide behind fences etc and send them out for food.

My son, for example, will be happy to attack anything that is full of buttons so long as I tell him to not touch it. Vending machines, perhaps?

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 16:09

Entirely possible, in fact, highly likely. I was particularly struck by the fact that it is entirely sensible to act immediately and not dither. If they had shifted their arses a lot earlier they wouldn't have had to put up with all that hanging about with no aircon and then fight their way through all the zombies looters.

HMNS Boden we are on our way Grin With a cavalry by the looks of it. So whoever is in charge of stocking the warships had better order some hay and livery mix in.

Secondtimelucky · 05/11/2010 16:09

DD is only 18 months, but she'll claw anything to bits if I tell her there's a banana inside. Can I bring her along, I really think she could be quite a dangerous weapon?

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 16:12

Mine will be dangerous weapons when I have to explain that there is no room in the OFRS for lots of clothes and make up Confused

I wonder if GHDs would make good weapons?

Tee2072 · 05/11/2010 16:13

Only if there is power to make them hot SSS!

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 16:15

Will there not be power on the warshops?

Tee2072 · 05/11/2010 16:16

Not sure what kind of plug though. Are they UK standard?q
