Its funny, but disturbing. Its like the boy that cried wolf, I think if the government told me now the terrorists were attacking I\'d just say \"yeah right\".

I just saw Fahrenheit 9/11, if only one tenth of that movie is true then :( If its mostly true* then boy did the US/UK/Aus governements screw us.

I think we\'d probably be safer with the terrorists in charge...

I feel sick and I\'m probably not in a position to be level headed so I\'ll shut up now. :(


* there\'s always some bias

In case the terrorist attack, you can always hold them off with a wrist rocket and an unlimited supply of miniatures as ammo.

Protect and Survive LOL

Hah! the real Gov advice is worse than the spoof stuff.

Does anyone remember \'Protect and Survive\' a helpful Government pamphlet giving advice on what to do in case of all-out nuclear war with the Soviet Bloc.

Basically their advice was this:

Yep. Hide behind the door...:D

The fact that, in a country the size of the UK with it\'s strategic importance and military bases, by the time the Sovs finished with us there wouldn\'t be any doors seemed to escape them completely.

If you want another laugh you can see the whole document complete with hilarious cartoons like the one above here

I remember when some guys from the game store were making a list of what to horde for Y2K: mostly drugs.. They siad it was because if you were in a tough situation were you needed surgery, they\'d work like anathestics, but really they wanted marijuana after the apocalypse.. (wow my first post after Live painting.. and coherent too!) :p

Things never change...

My mom grew up in Ohio when she was little, and she had to do these civil defense drills at school. It went like this:

1) If you see the flash, get under your desk.
2) If you don\'t have a desk, use a table.
3) If you you\'re in the hall, get in your locker
4) If you\'re not near a locker, dive towards a corner, and bury your face in it.

I thought she was joking. Then I saw the same video at school when I was in High School. I asked the teacher how hiding under a desk would help, and he told me, completely deadpan, that it was so we wouldn\'t see the end coming.

I\'ve decided that all the lead in my minis will protect me. You willing to share some of that Spam Tooshy?

Years ago...

There was a poster where I used to work. It said:

In the Event of Nuclear Attack

1) Assume a seated position on the floor with your back up against an exterior wall.

2) Pull your knees up and clasp your hands in front of your shins.

3) Place your head between your knees.

4) Take several deep breaths.

5) Now lean forward as far as you can go and kiss your arse goodbye.

:innocent:

Reminds me of the film \"Where the Wind Blows\". That was done on a simular theme.

In the event of such emergencies an old survival mag I read years ago suggested:

Making an old stone cottage your residence (very thick walls good for defence). Boarding/bricking up windows and unnecessary doorways. Putting loads of nails through boards and fixing them to window sills etc to deter intruders.

Obviously stock piling food, fresh water, and drugs (of the medical kind! :rolleyes:).

Arming oneself with a shot gun (double barrelled over and under preferably) as it\'s a versatile weapon and useful for wading through massed mobs of rampaging post apocalyptic mutants. It\'s also a simple weapon that\'s easy to maintain. A hand gun, preferably a revolver as they\'re reliable and once again easy to maintain. And finally perhaps a rifle for long range accuracy and good hunting if out in the wilds.

Sound advice I\'d say.

:D

We\'re a wee bit luckier here in Singapore: the government housing now comes mandatory with bomb shelters built into every apartment.

The idea is that during a bombing raid, concrete walls and a nice thick door are supposed to stop the shrapnel and small arms fire.

I keep wondering did the government forget that a bombing run tends to ruin building supports and foundations ...
