An Ebola house in the Highlands or Wales ...

[AlphaBravoHenryFoxtons]

or possibly the north of England.

I want to buy a remote house for my family. Somewhere we could go and sit things out if Ebola takes hold in the UK.

I plan to basically furnish it and then stock the cupboards and freezer with pasta, jam. tinned food, packet foods, flour, rice, sugar, dried egg and meat in the freezer. I would also buy seeds: parsley, lettuce, rocket, spinach greens, so it would need to have at least a small amount of garden and a greenhouse would be good so we aren't

I have £100,000 to spend. I won't be using the infrastructure, so you needn't worry about schools, access to jobs and leisure facilities.

Was it lamb's blood noble?

Don't forget the tin opener.

Zombie apocalypse threads are very funny.

This thread is fucking disgusting.

Why? You have to ask????

LEM - Your swearing is disgusting.

Why is this thread disgusting?

Sometimes it's good to laugh in the face of scary things. Doesn't mean You don't care about those affected.

More people have died of Malaria in the same time period. No one appears to be at all bothered about that.

Because people are fucking dying but because the likelihood of it taking hold here is low and its only in Africa people think its ok to make a fucking joke of it.

Of course if it is genuine then i apologise

Im scared of getting cancer. My dad died from cancer - oh stop its just tooooo funny.

This shows that malaria is a major threat to health in these countries. The reason everyone is so worried is that Ebola can be transmitted over hereNo one would be bothered otherwise.

Exactly.

But I don't see that as a reason not to joke about people's overreactions in the UK.

This church is on the south side of Loch Ness.

TheBogQueen - Well quite.

The Mail on Sunday will likely have an Ebola House supplement next weekend.

Not in good taste, OP, really it isn't.

Well its beyond me. Perhaps im boring

I think this thread is in poor taste.

OP, if you're serious you should maybe look into some anti anxiety medication or counselling.

Well I hope you easily offended hand wringers didn't watch HIGNFY. No doubt you've written in.

Oh, I love HGNFY and their outrageousness

And I deeply loathe the Ebola hysterics - still think that making fun of people's fears is poor.

If you find somewhere, please let me know where so I can commandeer a land rover and come and evict you. I have shotgun and lots of ammo.

I think most people reading this thread are smart enough to realise it's a joke about press hysteria surrounding Ebola, not a joke about the victims.

Well my ebola thread died a death, yet I was only making light of a scary situation. They came at me with pitchforks when I mentioned landlords
I was a bit the worse for wear when I posted it. If we all stood like rabbits in the headlights would that make all those that have no sense of humor happy. I like to think I am a caring person but I admit I have a wicked sense of humor. It's what keeps people going in stressful times .Who is to say the next chart topper wont be called bring out yer dead by a band called virus.

aha, you're an American. Lightbulb moment!

Stock up on candles and laxatives

Tobeabat you are right I have just finished re-reading it. Somehow I hoped the end had changed!

Can't believe hiw seriously some people have taken this. I've seen plenty of threads on here before about how to deal with the end of the world! Why all the hysteria and handwringing on this one?
It was clearly meant to be a joke.

Smartiepanets79 Thanks for your support. :)

You're not totally crazy. I was wondering if I could live on rice and tins of tomatoes. We'd need toilet paper too. My shed is full of loo roll and crackers. Ebola wouldn't get in to the water supply would it? I'd have to give up tea as I couldn't go out for milk until it was all over.

Even though I think about this stuff, I also think about whether it's too late to paint my kitchen grey. Is grey, like, todally OVER now?
