... 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 the 3000 people accompanying Obama's India trip is a little excessive

'cept if it's really WW3 starting and all of Europe is nuked or chemically-bombed into oblivion, as all these 'predictions' say, Switzerland will not be exempted.

Thingymy, he also decided to take his children with him well after the initial plans were made! Make of that what you will Hmm

34 war ships to protect him also? $200 million a day to fund his trip?

Hmm

I would like a Doom Cupboard but our flat is too small. DH complains when I try to stockpile food (read, buy enough tins of tomatoes/pasta/rice for 2 weeks instead of 1) unless it's on offer. Even with food just for 1-2 weeks our kitchen cupboards are bursting.

On the other hand, we're on the 6th floor of a building without lifts so I think the zombies would collapse wheezing before getting up to our flat (plus we could pour boiling oil down the stairs on top of them).

Note to self - investigate growing food in window boxes

Shit, there's only 5 left Shock

MaDuggar · 04/11/2010 13:28

Why does he need protection like that? Does he get that anywhere else?

Apparantly, the highest security previous was a 700 entourage when Geogre W came here. Makes you wonder.

I have thought about getting an oh fuck ruck sack before, but it wouldn't be full of survival stuff but things I'd want to grab in case of fire...(deeds to the flat, photos, hard drives etc.).

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 04/11/2010 13:29

I reckon you could grow a hell of a lot of potatoes in a bath.

LaurieScaryCake · 04/11/2010 13:32

This thread is hilarious Grin

You're all NUTZOID

thisishowifeel · 04/11/2010 13:32

Don't want to add to the fear here, but I do the operator messages for a VERY large mobile phone network, and I recorded one a couple of weeks ago that referred to some kind of disastrous event which would affect people ability to use their phones, and contact customer services. The same session had a two minutes silence anouncement due to " recent events". What do the mobile phone people already know?

Frightened me and the producer to death.

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 04/11/2010 13:36
Hmm

this seems good

and this might be useful...

MaDuggar · 04/11/2010 13:37

Well i have returned from Tesco with a huge bag of Pasta, several tins of veg and i already have enough Lentils to feed the world (much to my DC's dismay) i always stock bottled water and UHT Milk, i have a ton of candles since i got the candle making bug so we have an array of them.
I have several huge knives in my kitchen draw for looting if need be.
I also have a vast collection on PJ's and Blankets so we will be warm.

Im not fond of my Cath though so she is first in the pot if we get hungry. Wink

I live in an upstairs flat so will probably die anyway....

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 04/11/2010 13:40

It seems someone has beaten us to it with a Zombie Survival Kit list

mousymouse · 04/11/2010 13:41

Soz MaDuggar.....spooked us too!

I did ask my other voiceover friends if they had had anything similar, and no one had. :)

I may stock up on tins though.....just for fear, as my Nan used to say.
