When it all goes nuclear (very light hearted!£

[Lollypop701]

So if the world is coming to an end, what would you do? Turn on the heating, lights, dryer? Stockpile loo roll, spam and fray bentos pies? Have an end of the world party in your garden… no serious posts please this is silly posts only!

I’m with a back garden 90s rave with as much alcohol as possible with outdoor heaters but would welcome ideas

@Smokeahontas

If I was 100% sure the end was nigh, I’d tell a few people what I really think of them

This was one of my first thoughts recently. I would cause absolute chaos for the twenty odd minutes I had left. Then no doubt find out it was a false alarm. Much like those poor people who are told they have weeks to live and spend all their savings on booze and strippers to find the diagnosis was in fact wrong

I can only handle about 5 bites of Nutella before it's too much, so sadly not binging on that!

I'm a saddo & would think is there some 'good' thing I could still do. Enjoy the sunshine, spoil the pets. Would electricity stop before the nukes were fired as the entire infrastructure collapsed, some ppl gave up & went home to spend time with their families. Might lose power, anyway first.

Fire up the woodburner & let all the woodburner-paranoid people try to criticise that.

I'd drink the remaing bottles of fine wine and vintage port I'm currently rationing.

I'd down a couple of bottles of spiced rum and shag my DH while hoping I don't get vapourised before I finish.

It's not a bad thing to joke about, we were joking about it back in the eighties when the threat was more real than now.
Talking of which, I'd probably have Wham's Wake me up before you go go blasting out while supping and shagging.

I have no idea if marijuana goes off! I reckon it's about 16 years old now!
I just went for a walk and was thinking about this thread and the ending to Don't Look Up (a new favourite film) and wondering who I could get around to a final meal, and thinking I should prep a little by purchasing some extra alcohol!

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey

I would start smoking again. Would run to the shop for 20 cigs and a lighter

When I went to bed late on Thursday thinking the world was going to end, I just thought well I'm glad I never gave up smoking or bothered to wipe down the widow frames.

After thinking about this some more last night, and chatting to dh, I thought actually I'd like to have a beautiful meal with all my family like in Don't Look Up, which dh agreed.

I think drugs may have to feature … might as well try them -not going to do me any harm at that point. Problem is no know how to access them!

In my head I have thought we'd all jump in the car and drive the 2 mins to my parents to be with them. The reality would be that we'd spend the whole 4/8/20 whatever mins nagging them to stop gaming and just get in the car, no one would be able to find their shoes and the dog would refuse to get in.

I can't decide whether we would be near a strike or not, but I think eating chocolate, drinking strong alcohol and hugging everyone/phoning loved ones would be all I would want to do. To badly paraphrase the very cheesy Hugh Grant line in Love Actually no one was phoning people they didn't like from the planes that flew into the twin towers.

I don't think it will come to that, but it is yet another reminder that life is short and to grab it with both hands.

PO

Sorry it meant PO to all the ones who are like oh it's not something to joke about so we should just all be in doom and gloom forever and ever and ever...should we cry instead all the time?
@Lollypop701 I would probably just yeah get high, have a massive trash the house party and tell everyone who I do love I love them

I'd be very annoyed that I had paid into a pension all these years, rather than spending the money on travel :(
