Can I join you?
I'll bring cats to see off the birds Grin
I'll leave the kids though. Especially DD. She has tonsillitis. So she is bound to catch coronavirus soon WinkGrin

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 10/02/2020 16:32

Can I come too? I have a torch, which we will need when we close the door to keep the zombies out and/or when there is a power failure (bound to happen sooner or later what with it now being apocalypse season).

cjt110 · 10/02/2020 16:38

@HerRoyalFattyness Yes DD can fend for herself - come on in!

Is it a wind up torch @MacavityTheDentistsCat otherwise we're fucked because my junk draw only has 3 batteries in....!

Chewy wants in. He’s just told me he hopes swine flu arrives as he thinks that means he gets sausages. I’ve yet to tell him the truth.

GoFiguire · 10/02/2020 16:56

Has anyone mentioned Brexit yet?

Bakedbrie · 10/02/2020 17:00

I get how you feel OP. It’s a stress time to be a gnat of humanity on this precarious planet that we are intent on destroying. But i think we have to try and stay sane for the sake of everyone. Do your bit and very best as a person each day and try not to freak out about the things that fall way beyond our direct sphere of personal control.

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 10/02/2020 17:01

It is indeed! I'm good in a crisis, me!

Bakedbrie · 10/02/2020 17:01

What happens when the tinned spuds run out by the way?

HerRoyalFattyness · 10/02/2020 17:02

baked I'm guessing we begin with the animals... Then we slowly work our way to cannibalism.

Bakedbrie · 10/02/2020 17:02

My dog guffs corkers; she’d be gross in a cupboard. 🤢

Howyoualldoworkme · 10/02/2020 17:03

It's because David Bowie died.

wineoclockthanks · 10/02/2020 17:24

Can I come and play please?
I can bring a 17 year old who will be useful as he knows fucking everything and is also so annoying that if we run out of space, I'll ask him a perfectly civil question and he will be so obnoxious half the occupants will leave preferring the zombies than him.

PolloDePrimavera · 10/02/2020 17:26

I'm bringing Fifi Cockapoo too. Do you have Dairy Milk (for me)? She likes mature cheddar too.

Fucking hell, the world is ending...
sideorderofchips · 10/02/2020 17:28

I have two cats! One is very cuddly. The other is a bit of a bitch. She'll bite any intruders though

dementedma · 10/02/2020 17:28

D'argh you had me until the pre-schoolers. ( nothing personal but not who i want to be trapped in a cupboard with). I will have to risk my life out here.

mindproject · 10/02/2020 17:29

Prince Philip hasn't even died yet. When he comes back as a killer virus we will know the end is nigh.

Pringlesonthetable · 10/02/2020 17:31

Can I come please....

I have 4 tins of pilchards bought to bribe the dog to eat the £40 bag of dog food she has decided she doesn't like!

Standrewsschool · 10/02/2020 17:33

Just been to Costco,, so can bring lots of toilet roll, and kitchen roll.

Lollypop701 · 10/02/2020 17:44

Can I come... I have baby wipes and deodorant...

CantstandmLMs · 10/02/2020 17:47

Why did I book a holiday to China this year?! I think it's a sign

WoollyMollyMonkey · 10/02/2020 17:53

OP you forgot about the fires (Australia) and floods (here) earthquakes and volcano eruptions! (Canada (I think) and New Zealand). Not to mention the fuck up that Brexit will bring.

I keep singing this song’s chorus

TheDogsMother · 10/02/2020 18:01

Can we come in ? I'll bring a plate of canapés to add a bit of a party atmosphere to the end of the world. I'm good at canapés Grin

They are are just types of flu or influenza. There never completely go away.

You are all crazy and need to read up on zoonotic viral infections. We are constantly on the brink of disaster. I am more concerned about antibiotics use in farm animals and bacterial resistance.
