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!

And I have grade 4 recorder - I have a sopranino, descant and treble - if someone has a tenor and bass we could form a consort to go with the string quartet

(and Dd1 is almost 18 btw before you question the sourz and call SS!)

Psammead - of course you can come. Can you build the houses as well as design them?

Re: the strike on 15th/16th. I am kind of assuming that the appocalypse will be something we notice, rather than something we need to be told about. Or is there such a thing as a discreet appocalypse?

Seeing as we now have a lot of space on our war/cruise ship, do you think we ought to be thinking a little more about saving others as well as ourselves? Only good-looking, famous men people obviously.

Can we save David Tennant?

Might be wise to just go ahead and start the Apocalypse right now then. It would save time and mean we get ached start on the Netmums, who are sure to have spies out to infiltrate us. Has anyone been over there to check this possibility out yet?

As for pies, did the Great Melton Mowbray Smash n Grab Raid yesterday not make National news?

I like your thinking kungfu, could we add Christopher Ecclestone, Peter Jones and Clive Owen to the list please? I feel they all have qualities that could prove very useful to us.

Sorry, in the event we run out of children and horses to eat, we start on Peter Jones - too smug for my liking. Could we have Kevin Mccloud though so we can have the most exquisitely designed post-apocalyptic world?

The Oceana cruise ship was at Southampton the other day- if it's still there we could get a 99p breakfast in ikea then commandeer it for world domination humanity saving purposes?

world domination

No I fancy him, he will be good breeding stock for me.

........Can I be the mysterious beautiful (ahem) stranger who turns up half way through the disaster and no-one knows whether she can be trusted? Or have I just read Stephen King's The Stand too many times? I've just read all 38 pages of this thread and I've a feeling it's too late for me to join-in? I do have chocolates and Crunchy Nut Cornflakes to bring, if that helps.

Peter Jones' cheeks alone could feed a whole family for a week. He looks a bit like a chipmunk to me.

Swoon at the idea of Clive Owen. I shall join an orderly queue to help him help us repopulate the earth.

You'll presumably have to pass the Are You Actually A Zombie test, i'd think.

Yes yes to David Tennant ( for sex looking at) and Kevin mc cloud (for house building)

Can we add Steve Blackshaw( if that's his name from deadly sixty?) dh suggested he would be good at identifying animals to eat. I feel he would be an asset at walking the deck topless

Oh and no rats on the ship (also a James Herbert fan when younger)

Oohh Rats was the first horror I read as a teen. I have been terrified of them ever since.

Can I see if Robert Downey Jr wants to come? He's funny and v gorgeous. Also he might have some drugs left over from his mis-spent past incase we need them (for medicinal purposes, of course)

kungfu i'm not gonna take it personaly that you "forgot" for mention collecting me when in Belfast. So just yo be on the safe side I'm gonna locate and atalk Tee.

Umm have noticed a flaw in the plan. See the Moldova part (to visit/live here/rescue me) was conceived when we were talking about the BodenBus but now plans have moved on to a warship there might be a problem. Moldova is landlocked

We definitely need some muscley men. To help build houses and dig holes and such after it's all over. Why else? I'm thinking a couple of fit young farmers, some strong builders, conscientious plumbers, brave electricians and some well oiled mechanics. Yes, that will do nicely.

Us helpless lasses can watch them work over next summer whilst bravely quaffing some of that Pimms which was mentioned earlier.

thanksamillion maybe us continentals should get a BodenBus and meet the Brits in some pre-arranged location? Say... Venice? Then we can talk about where to settle. My vote is for a Greek Island somewhere. Easily defendable from the zombie hordes, nice climate and millions of empty tourist traps full of alcohol.

I think we should comile a list of men who are not our DHs who should definitely be reserved as place, but we must justify their relevance and useful qualities, other than the obvious ones, ie. shagability.

I've already said Matt Cardle
Mrs Bear is bringing Mr Bear, his uses are quite obvious.
David Tennant might be ggod but only if he was Doctor Who with proper leadership skills when facing zombies or aliens. That single father persona on the other hand, would be crap - he just snivels and looked bewildered all the time.

David Mitchell would be a popular MN choice. Hes still a bit of a sex-god mystery to me, but I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was a GP in Jam and Jerusalem, and we will be needing a GP.

apart from water we could easily survive a fortnight without me having to be "creative".

although we have lots of beer in the loft.... and would have to crack open the red wine stash

and we need to save Dr Mac from Green Wing. After all, we will need surgeons..

Good plan Psammead. There is a tank in our village so I could always get that, then drive to a prearranged place (MmeLint's?) and we'll meet the others in Venice. Excellent.

Oh yes, we could get to Switzerland in a few hours. There is a fire station a minute's walk from me so we could loot some huge fire engines and ram our way through the crashed traffic and piles of corpses. We could loot two and get to Venice in convoy.
