Lighthearted but obviously the US congress are preparing to reveal the existence of Aliens.
What would be the first thing you would do?

This thread reminds me of the Simpsons, when the aliens were licking their lips and looking at Homer...and he said "Don't eat me, i have a wife and kids....eat them"Grin

Aliens aren't going to invade us, why would they invade a dying sewage pond. There is nothing of interest here at all. They are probably sat eating popcorn watching as we race to ruin a planet in a total of 50 years

Another nasy MIL topic?

JimnJoyce · 27/07/2023 20:58

put the news on

PickAChew · 27/07/2023 20:58

Introduce them to Ds2 and his constant stream of random chatter and confuse the hell out of them.

TheOhGodOfHangovers · 27/07/2023 21:13

If they’ve been here, blending in, for generations then presumably there’s been some potential interbreeding?
What if I am one and I’ve just never noticed? <frets>

DuesToTheDirt · 27/07/2023 21:27

If they came to my house, I'd make sure they took their shoes off at the door. Who knows where they've been?

LlynTegid · 27/07/2023 21:28

Talk to family members.

We already have a Vulcan in parliament anyway.

MrsToothyBitch · 27/07/2023 22:19

Lock all the doors & never answer the doorbell- but have the kettle filled & the good biccies in just in case they get in by force & need placating.

Wash all my knickers to make a good first impression.

Curl up on the sofa with DP, with many snacks, a cosy blanket and all of the X-Files again- might as well gen up on what we're dealing with!

Enterchat · 27/07/2023 22:22

I would get out my bontempi keyboard so I could communicate with them.

Brk · 27/07/2023 22:36

They are cats.

Cats are aliens who invaded Earth a long time ago because humans make excellent servants. I myself have two non-human feline overlords and consider myself privileged to serve them.

Groutyonehereagain · 27/07/2023 22:42

I’d eat the Ben and Jerry’s double quick. They’re not having it.

illiterato · 27/07/2023 22:43

Invite them round and then bitch about them on here when they don’t take their shoes off, take a dump in the downstairs loo and block me in with their spaceship.

I wonder if they use toilet brushes 🤔
MN will go into meltdown.

Break out the cookbooks in case they are edible.

How to cook forty aliens

Lifeinlists · 27/07/2023 09:33

It'll be OK because they always land in the US, don't they?

Sorry if you're in the US btw!

That’s true. I think the rest of us would be fine

Endlesssummer2022 · 27/07/2023 23:20

Put on my best frock, get the rest of the family to wear their ‘best’. Start drinking the best booze we have etc etc. Basically all ‘the best’ stuff just in case it’s almost all over.

WineTime22 · 27/07/2023 23:44

Cross my fingers they r friendly!!

AdaColeman · 28/07/2023 01:19

Have a drink 🍸
Mug up on some Vulcan style signs 🤘 ✌️ Not this one 🖕 Ah yes🖖
Get out LOTR in case they speak Sindarin

Have another drink 🍸 or two 🍸

Timbershiver · 28/07/2023 01:29

Made me spit my tea out laughing! It's the simplest things!

Somewhereovertherainbowweighapie · 28/07/2023 01:46

I have read a lot of books about aliens living among us and know exactly what to do.

I would shave my legs and wait for the three or four insanely attractive male aliens with super powers to turn up and tell me I am actually a princess from another planet and they need me to join them so they can train me to use my super powers. I would do my best to keep you all on earth safe from the bad aliens all while learning about how they were all destined from birth to serve me and be my protectors and lovers.

Your welcome.

By the way if anyone wants any alien porn book recommendations let me know.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/07/2023 01:55

We're already here.............

Guiltyfeethavegotnorhythm0 · 28/07/2023 02:04

Take up drinking water , pour lots of glasses and forget to drink them . Take up baseball . Oh and don't fall asleep .

WandaWonder · 28/07/2023 02:05

Tell them you may as well invade it is not as if humans have done a great job

Guiltyfeethavegotnorhythm0 · 28/07/2023 02:11

MollysBrolly · 27/07/2023 11:36

I'd want to se it with my own eyes.
Imagine sky news blathering on and on for hours that the aliens have arrived

It would have to be Kay Burley , I could just hear her wittering on for hours like she does with the royal babies , days sometimes .😂
