... 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 think it might take us a bit longer but you can wait there for us can't you? Fire engines sound good and probably faster/more spacious than the tank.

TandB · 07/11/2010 14:34

Sorry, Tiny. I must have sort of conflated the two Irish members of The Plan into one person. It would obviously simplify the itinerary if you were to get yourselves to one port for easy pick-up.

Can we bring John Simm too? If we get bored we can just set the Doctor and the Master against each other in a series of fiendish plots.

nymphadora · 07/11/2010 14:57

Oh yes John Simm& how did we forget Johnny Depp?

Should we get this thread moved in case it gets deleted before the apocalypse? Can someone report it to mnhq, i can't do it on my phone

MaDuggar · 07/11/2010 14:59

We omly have 1 page left before its too big to post on!

Can I suggest we have apocalypse now by MUSE as our theme tune whilst stealing boats and running riot on the streets all in the name of survival.
I feel you should allow me on your warship (I still think some mega huge cruise ship would be far more tasteful but, i'm willing to slum) I am a Librarian, We ALWAYS save the day Grin

Horton · 07/11/2010 15:57

There is a HUGE black cloud hovering over my house! This might be it, people!

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 07/11/2010 16:17

I am FREEZING :(

And I have realised we have forgotten to make contingency plans for a Day After Tomorrow senario.

A mega huge cruise ship would be far more luxurious but the warships are set up for self defence/offence. Plus there will be plenty of room and the decks will accommodate the harriers

toddlerama · 07/11/2010 16:17

I don't really want to throw in the towel re civilisation because of a cloud....

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 07/11/2010 16:24

Oh :( I'm secretly really looking forward to it now. Life on the party warship will be most interesting.

FellatioNelson · 07/11/2010 17:43

Just so you are all on standby, the first day of armageddon high alert is tomorrow, the 8th. It will all kick off somewhere between the 8th and the 11th, there'll be a bit of a plateau (but an exciting one with all sorts of dastardly things going on) until the 15th and that's when we all fall of the edge of the world good and proper.

Are you ready?

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 07/11/2010 17:46

Yessir Grin

nymphadora · 07/11/2010 17:59

But can we have a break on the 14th for my afternoon tea party? It's the first birthday I've looked forward to for years!

FellatioNelson · 07/11/2010 17:59

That's my girl Sarah. Pointy walking sticks and leaf blowers at the ready. Four Small Pony Riders Of The Apocolypse - saddle up.

Who is our leader again?Confused

FellatioNelson · 07/11/2010 18:02

I'm sure we can Nymph. They had a game of football between the Brits and Germans in the trenches on Christmas day, so I see no reason why the apocolypse can't have a brief hiatus for your birthday tea.

Housemum · 07/11/2010 18:10

Hmm, we do need a sexy doctor (medical not Time Lord). Struggling to think of one. Under no circumstances is Dr Christian from embarassing bodies allowed - fancies himself too much.

If this apocalypse kicks off next week I'm now p'ed off that I spent hours listing all my crap pre-loved items on eBay this week. Do you think that's why it's a free listing weekend, they know the world will have ended before they can get the fees?

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 07/11/2010 18:18

Dr Christian is gay, he's no bloody use to us :( Err what about Dr Hilary Jones? I'm struggling to think of a decently sexy doc TBH.

MaDuggar · 07/11/2010 18:21

Anyone got 100% wool blankets?

OP posts:
SarahStrattonsSparkler · 07/11/2010 18:44

I have some, why? I've got loads of double duvets, comforters and throws too, for some reason.

badgermonkey · 07/11/2010 18:47

I'm bloody annoyed that it kicks off on the 8th now - that means I have to get up and go to work tomorrow and I was really hoping work would be shut in the event of the apocalypse. (Though as I am a teacher there would still b parents complaining about schools shutting at the drop of a hat, we had an apocalypse every year when I were young and school never shut etc etc)

thanksamillion · 07/11/2010 19:01

I was going to ask if we had any teachers/home edders - if we're bringing DCs there probably ought be some educational provision for them. It sounds like we've got the extra curricular stuff covered (music, pony riding, scout-type survival skills etc) but maybe we could give some thought to a curriculum? I can offer DH to cover economics and theology Hmm

mitochondria · 07/11/2010 19:10

I'm a biology teacher.

If this apocalypse is coming, it needs to come next week and then I won't have to write reports. I'd be really pissed off if the apocalypse came after the report writing.

badgermonkey · 07/11/2010 19:12

Sadly I spend most of my time teaching Media Studies. Not the most useful post-apocalypse skill. Although I could teach everyone how to make a great film about everything that happens, as long as someone else works out how to run an editing suite on solar power.

Housemum · 07/11/2010 19:27

I used to work in banking so perhaps when we are on an even keel after the apocalypse I could invent some complex financial systems and c**k the whole thing up for us Grin

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 07/11/2010 19:42

I can't do anything apart from useful housewifey/motherish stuff. I used to be able to do secretary stuff but it was a long time ago and I'd rather skip about baking/cleaning/growing things now really.

If that's ok with the rest of the army crew.

TandB · 07/11/2010 19:51

Well the world may not have ended, but the thread is about to! Can I suggest we all congregate on a new one. Perhaps "The Plan" or "Apoccalypse now...or next week."
