    I'd get the bottle of chivas regal out, light up a cigarrette, then have a good ole laugh at everyone giving up smoking and the new ban that was going to be implemented until the eastern coast turned into a roast marshmallow

    I couldn't resist..

    I don't read any of the rags you mention...

    the thought was prompted by Bin Ladens recent announcement along the lines of 'you ain't seen nothing yet'...

    I'd imagine hitting any nuclear plant accurately would result in some pretty nasty consequences...

    And I'm glad you have such faith in the authorities that you think you can say 'never' with such confidence... that kind of faith, my friend, is what I would consider 'dumb'...

    Chernobyl, 3 mile Island, Bhopal... ring any bells?

    If the first space shuttle explosion had happened one mission earlier... we would have enjoyed the fallout from it's cargo of plutonium/uranium for oh, the next 1000 years or so...

    Anyway, I'm just musing - I don't think it's likely either, just interested in if people have thought about it and what they might do...

    I really do not give a damn. You know every night when I go to bed, I do not know if I will die in my sleep. So, whats the big deal anyway. We are all headed in that direction in any case, it is unavoidable. Whether it be sooner or later. I really do not give a damn. As I already stated.

    P.;)

    Err... On another subject I was just reading The Guardian today, it contained an article what are the options of getting rid of or storing Britain’s 110,000 tonnes of nuclear waste. Some of which is currently in “…often poor-condition storage tanks that are rotting. “It’s a serious and urgent problem,” says Professor Geoffrey Boulton, a geologist and nuclear waste expert at Edinburgh University”…”

    The article went on to say “…the risk of an accident, terrorist attack or other incident mounts with every year that passes.”.

    O NO! The Guardian's cover page also rants on about the Saudis considering buying a nuclear bomb – scaremongers the lot of them!



    :rolleyes:

    get myself a boomstick to ward off the freaky mutants, then set to repopulating the land.
    can't wait:)

    wait for the bush administration to come in and take over europe...

    do the simple thing, get on the next plane fly to another continent. We are too far away to fear direct radiation poisoning. fallout will take it's time to travel over to ireland, enough to safely land on a nice tropical island and build myself a hut from reeds, start smoking exotic herbs, lick poisenous toads then die happily 3 months later from malnutrition

    Are you mad? Were the first landfall away from Selafield. BTW have you ever heard of Chernobyl? Half of Western Europe was contaminated with radiation poisoning.

    For all those quoting there couldn't be a nuclear explosion - that is correct. I think we are more concerned with the radiation leak... again like Chernobyl.. but times 40.

    Personally I would like to go teminator 2 style grabbing onto a chain link fence and screaming like a girl while turning to dust. Sure it would sting a bit but it would look extremely cool, as long as all those inconsiderate people around me would stop melting for long enough to appreciate me suffering for my art

    Ah but sure and it only sank the once. So that's all right then.

    I'd probably wait quietly until someone inevitably asked the pointless question of 'which way is the wind blowing?' .... and then fart on their head.

    Christ lads- c'mon; I'd **** my panths! I'd shag my best friend's mother if she let me or I'd have a ****, I'd crawl up and die!

    It's not about dying- it's a chance to LIVE!

    Ram-raid the offlicenses, steal an articulated truck and crash it right thru the front door of your local Dunnes. Appropriate guns and other weaponry, fast cars- steal a Porsche or something. Put all your provisions into your Complex (I assume you all have completed your complexs or bunkers right?) and defend it, repell attacks from outlaws and marauders, put those who oppose you to the sword.

    Rise from the depths with your loyal armies of fearsome mercenaries to enslave the lesser people, show no mercy.
    Capture the chicks with nice juicy jugs and asses and put them to work in your underground hareem.

    Wear your NCB suits to protect you from radioactive rain and outbreaks of patchy drizzle. Drive around like Mad Max. Kill people just for the **** of it because who's gonna stop you- huh? Who?

    MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAAAAWW!!!!
