How are you preparing for war?

I believe we will be personally and bodily at risk in the course of 2025

I live in a flat in the centre of a major city. I think there are pros and cons to this in a war situation. Inability to stockpile is a big one.

What are you doing (large or small)?

Living off my many fat reserves whilst at the same time being able to run a 7 minute mile.

(Get a grip).

No, we weren't. And please, in the name of all things holy, get a fucking grip 😬

I get the sense that the OP is almost willing a war to happen on our shores just so they can tell us nay sayers how wrong and rubbish we are.

Aren’t we supposed to stock up on toilet paper and flour ( except those who still have roomfuls from last time ….) ?

I honestly think some posters get off on trying to make people fearful. The amount of posts about this issue on here at the moment is crazy. It’s like they love the drama…

Or we can all go down the Winchester and wait for it to blow over.

I have found my people 🙌🏻🙌🏻

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 01/03/2025 16:24

@BoudiccaRising Yes exactly. Its the new COVID when people were saying there would definitely never be a vaccine, life was over and there would be a million deaths next week because there mate who works in government said so. I remember one thread listing all the potential new occupations for hairdressers and nail technicians because they would never be "safe" to go back to work!

I bet all the scornful people answering nothing were first to fight an old lady over the last toilet roll in the coop in March 2020

No, I didn’t fall for that either

ArtTheClown · 01/03/2025 17:12

Eating eclairs and reading erotic fiction.

Bless! Your getting a bit desperate OP.

Sheknowsaboutme · 01/03/2025 18:37

Very rural so wine, loo roll and cheese.

Mine too but I bloody hate the fact that it's 21 years old already. Makes me feel ancient.

Our actual government guidance says to prepare

The smug complacency will end up its own punishment

Winchester obviously is on my list

Is this the one where we have to take doors off to prop up against the wall to turn into a nuclear shelter and stockpile bin bags to stuff the dead bodies into (labelled of course)? You have to fill the bath with water and stay inside for two weeks as well.

Been there, done that the first time around. We know the drill 🫡😁⚰️☢️

Damnloginpopup · 02/03/2025 21:17

Got a pb at parkrun yesterday and a pb 10k today.

I AM READY!

Not sure what for exactly but I'll definitely be faster for it.

Bex5490 · 02/03/2025 21:33

I’m quite looking forward to giving up on hair removal…

Yes COVID was really shit for the masks and mortality, but I thoroughly enjoyed giving up shaving and brushing my hair 🤷🏽‍♀️

SnoopyPajamas · 02/03/2025 21:51

There are some mad threads on here today 😅

Close. The people fighting old biddies for bog roll are the same people posting inane fucking threads about ‘preparing for war’ whilst being almost as insulated as it’s possible to be from the consequences of any global actions. When it hits us, it’ll already be too late. Anything before this is amateur dramatics.

No, I wasn't. I didn't panic then, and I'm not panicking now.
