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!

FellatioNelson... maybe you could factor all those things into your poncetastic Christmas?!

I feel a new MN book coming on...

Yup. Xenia and her island.

If you search MN for private education and/or working mothers, you'll find her. She's an oldie.

ooooh, i have skills too!
i can
cook
sew
ride horses
i have a good aim with a gun
i can slaughter and gut rabbits and chickens (could be used for other animals, but not tried that yet)
i can climb trees too

Sorry, we would have to be on the Zombie's side...this is my DP!

Aw smallclanger, he looks lovely

so will you be safe with him then?

Hang on... So we plan to borrow a warship yes? Would we not all be far more comfy if we aquired a cruise ship? I'm thinking of a huge thing with a million and one bars, a pool, gym, and a shopping mall? It may be the end of the world but, surely there is no need to slum it

I hope his sense of loyalty might remain, otherwise, it's eating brains for us. Which might be easier, as we ahve eaten all the food this week, so would be rubbish in a real enmergency.

I see this thread has moved on . Sadly I don't have many skills . Although I do live very close to a country/shooty type shop, I'm sure I could loot that, being forewarned and all. Well as long as the owner wasn't around, I can see a fatal flaw in trying to loot a shotgun shop .

In the event of armageddon, I hope there aren't any supernatural shenanigans as per the stand. I'm sure to be stupid enough to be lured to the Randall Flag blingy style survivalist camp .

I think somebody should remember to loot a pharmacy too, valium antibiotics and morphine painkillers would come in handy.

What would be on the menu, apart from rice/pasta in a tomato/tuna sauce with tinned vegetables? With lazy garlic, I suppose.

Ooooh Bear Grylls does naked push ups in the snow doesn't he?

Not sure we'd still get our five-a-day in a zombie apocalypse. Still, I suppose scurvy is less of a concern than brain removal.

But what about onions? Who is doing emergency ration menu planning? Can't have horse stew without onions?

Good. The world is ending. No more fireworks.

Hmmmm like its meant to end in 2012. Or when we had the eclipse in 1999!(was it)

"They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures."

grin.

I tend to not notice things that are directly in front of me, so I would wound the zombie's feelings by ignoring them. Then they could start an "AIBU that my moaning and blood crazed eyes were ignored" and whilst they were busy typing someone else could chop their heads off.
I don't want on the bus though. I am confident the zombies will be considerate like in the first stages of "Cell", when they were scared of going into houses and also took time to sleep.

Can I go to bed now or will I miss it? The big event that is.

I think its just starting, so you can go to bed and get some rest and see what we wake up to in the morning!

Still here. So much for that apocalypse.

Im still here no Apocolypse happening where i live.

Well

Medicine cupbooard stocked up - check
Box of last resort stuffed full to brim with potentiall useful things - check
Dental emergency kit - not done
Water purification kit - not done
Geiger counter - my god that anythingradioactive site is interesting, but no, not done

I suppose I should press on with plans even though the world still seems to be outside my window.

Do I have time for another cup of tea?

I think the world is about to end here. My 15 month old is eating nicely with a spoon. That never happens!

So presumably, our plan is to see how today pans out and if it doesn't look like the appocalypse is going to get off the ground, we refocus our planning on the 14th?

Well, it might be the end of the world here...the sun is shining on 6th November in Belfast...

Scurvy actually SHOULD be a very real concern. Your cells lose the ability to renew themselves or something and you start to decay - hence teeeth falling out and old wounds re-opening or something. we are going to need a LOT of limes/lemons. And gin. And tonic.

Interesting fact - we are one of only a few life forms which need to consume things other than calories, IYSWIM, to survive. No anti-scorbutics, we eventually keel over.
