Archery, have you considered speaking to a doc about your doomsday phobia?
No, as a soldier, in an infantry regiment, current or previous, you are trained and given knowledge about what, god forbid, if it happens.

Virtually, all analysts, now say the world, is much further closer to WW3 than it has ever has been, even during the bay of pigs crisis and the cold war.

Within the UK, if you live within 30 miles of a Military, Naval or Air Base then, lucklily you will not know much about it, especially with the aftershock. The problem is, allot will survive the initial blast and aftershock. But law and order will break down. There will be no Police or Soldiers to keep law and order amoungst the civilian population, it will be down to you to protect yourself and family, while at the same time, trying to find shelter, food and water. If you want numbers then around 1/3 will go in Round 1 (Blast/aftershock), 1/3 will go in Round 2 (Radiation positioning, starvation). That will leave 1/3 after 12 months who will make it by adapting and learning very quickly. But along the way those will have had to probably, in some shape or form, kill friends, neighbours or even family members.

Only certain members of the Government, Royal Family and Armed Forces will be totally safe. The rest will fall into one of the 1/3 that I mentioned above.

So, again, no, don't think i need to see a Doctor or Shrink as its all documented and backed up, especially if you live on a small island so close to Europe as the UK does/is.

Obviously an obnoxious woman, but 15 months for this? :shock:

Sounds good to me. :D

Many women get rape threats by cowards who have absolutely no intention or means (because they're probably impotent) of carrying it out, but don't underestimate the fear and effect on their lives. Just imagine if somebody threatened to set fire to your house while you're in it. You'd think about it every time you go to bed.

Such cowards deserve everything they get. :D

After Covid there are no excuses to be had absolutely none for any outbreak to reach these shores. Any outbreak in this country then politicians should be jailed for failure to protect our borders and neglect.

No symptoms for around 7-10 days after being infected. How would you suppose the government would prevent an outbreak in this country?

If there's a global spread, it's 100% guaranteed that it will hit these shores. No government can prevent that.

We're far too reliant on trade. Are we going to grow our own coconuts over winter?

What about essential imports or the materials to make essentials like medicines?

I think he was expressing concern for your well-being, not whether these claims are substantiated or not?

There seems to be genuine anxiety seeping through some of those posts and I may have hinted at that as well on occasion. If keeping up with all the news has a negative effect on your health I would for sure steer clear of it, if the news is important enough it should reach you anyway, that was sort of my own motto for a long time.

Obviously none of us have seen combat etc and we can't imagine how disillusioned with society one can get afterwards, but my uncle is a combat vet as well and opted to live out in the woods at one point due to residual effects of PTSD.

A judge said that if you riot with a mob, you take your share of responsibility of what the mob did, not just your own actions.

Shame they don't apply the same principle to paying for the cost of the damage. Seize the property of anyone found guilty of rioting with a mob. :D

£150 x 35 odd years = £5,250 saved in real terms.

Maximum fine is £1000 and usually it's only a third of that. And that's only if you're daft enough to get caught. :D
