Plans for the coming apocalypse

    A subject of interest to me, there happens to be alot of talk of a downturn in the Irish housing market recently. To me, this is but the first murmurs of an oncoming decent into madness and anarchy on behalf of the Irish republic. So lets assume it happens, people grow tired of high mortgages and corrupt government and social order breaks down...riots break out, social unrest, civic disturbances...and where will you be?

    Me? I'll be launching sniper attacks upon the massively over crowded M50(packed with dublins finest escaping to the wilderness).

    *please note this is a completely hypothetical thread.

    If you're going to suicide bomb the dail tomorrow, won't it free up the rest of your diary?

    I'm going to stock up on tinned foods and hide out til it blows over. Once everyone has fled the cities, I'll pick out a nice big house for myself and lived like a king on tinned peaches!

    Mining all access roads to the West, then declaring West Galway clan territory with me as grand chieftain.

    Even if you managed to get to the airport I'll be spending part of my days blinding pilots with my trusty laser pointer. THERE SHALL BE NO ESCAPE!

    Working on a way to stop the decay of Irish culture and society by launching a hamster into the sun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Semtex is sooo 90's...I'm going with two phials of binary explosive and a nice Thermos to combine them in. Sure the cops on duty at the gate will think it's a hip flask and wave me on through.

    It -can- be about zombies! Due to the lack of pharmacies there shall be no methadone giveouts, junkie city man!

    Just dont go down the same road as George Romero and infer the junkies/zombies have rights. Shoot to kill!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,145 ✭✭✭Lands Leaving


    I'll take up residence in the abandoned (or very cheap to buy since house prices are so low) and take up residence in aras an uchtarain, then hunt the phoenix park deer while stting traps for the zombies. Stay out of my park.

    Then slowly lose my mind from lonliness until I start chaining zombies up and talking to them. No no Jerry, dont bite your friend. Good zombie.

    You will die before sun down.

    Apocalyse, Aschmocalypse. When the sun explodes, then I'll worry.
    If Ireland was reduced to total anarchy, the scariest thing would be the increase in off license sales.

    This thread is not funny. It's just embarrassing.

    Also, as far as I know the impending apocalypse will "not be by water, but by fire next time."

    Er maybe its not such a hot idea to discuss in detail blowing up the seat of government on a public forum? Just a thought...

    Right, I'll be leader of the roving motorcycle gang, with the happening do and the wisecracking transexual lackeys. Pa El Grande lent me his Ghandi suit earlier, so I'll be riding point, throwing people off, they will be all, oh look, theres the father of modern peaceful protest, isn't that cute, or possibly oh dear, theres a man in a nappy, better give him some change, then wham! Mad maxed baby, mad maxed. Hell of a way to go. Still maybe you could get a zombie to gnaw off your arm if you haven't the nerve to saw through it.

    Eh what does your handy alternative to bogroll have to say about the shambling hordes of mindless carnivorous undead, seeking brains? I mean what, headshot or dismemberment, or do we just tie 'em up and lamp 'em into a cement mixer?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    I'm covered by the hypothetical disclaimer in the OP.

    Besides if I really wanted to overthrow Dáil Eireann, I wouldn't be as dramatic as blowing it up....no, all I have to do is lace all the kegs in the member's bar with ricin; this is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.

    I can see the global headlines now: Irish government lost in tragic drinking accident, World carries on as normal.

    Why not? The worst that could possibly arise out of this discussion is the dail getting blown to pieces. Hmm maybe that would be bad, who would take the brown envelopes then?

    Tax returns needed to be in by 31st Oct - too late HellmO

    So if the economy goes to sh1t, everyone'll turn into Zombies?

    Awesome.

    I'll be that dude you always see in the movies who tried to save everyone, gets a big group together, has sex with some hot blonde haired chick, only to ultimately kill themselves in the end.

    Fantastic plan :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin


    it's already been decided that whatever happens i'll be taking control of the Dail bar. so yeah, i'll be leading a strategic assault on the dail with this purpose.

    that, and ripping the piss out of all the idiots who invested in property which hadn't proper infrastructure near it. or those who continually invested in property when they should have diversified their portfolio.

    Ok. Deal.

    But it might lead to some feuding between me and Biko in Galway though.

    I'll probably just lock myself in my room and masturbate until it's all over.

    Thats intentional, while you guys are fighting I'll be sleeping with your blond chick.

    I'd go around beating as much **** as possible out of scumbags...

    Then I'd go into Currys with a baseball bat and smash everything....

    Go around smashing cars....

    Hmmm... I'm not a very nice character am I?

    Ok i suppose I'll rescue a few puppies from a river or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    I might bake a cake or sort out my sock drawer, you know do all those things that I never really get a chance to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭H.O.T.A.S.


    I'd be in the Bunker cleaning the rifles and laughing my ass off as I watch the country destroy itself on the computer monitor

    You're going to lock yourself in your basement with your computer? For some reason I don't think it'll be riffles you'll be cleaning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭KIVES


    I'll have 'The Best of Roy Orbison'playing loudly in the background -nobody does 'bittersweet' quite like that man...oh and maybe a wee prayer as a hopeless attempt at reconciliation with anything that might be of benefit when Roy no longer croons in the said background - Leonard Cohen and 'The Future' would be way too cliched for a coming apocalypse...you gotta have have your tunes right for a once in a lifetime moment...

    I'll start lining up auditions in Hollywood for those zombies that wander as far as So Cal.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I'd start up me own black market trading company something like Scumlords discount stolen goods store. If we don't have what you want in stock just point us in the direction of someone that does

    Overall I think the Irish people will be far to lazy to go crazy (unless we're pisshed) and we'll probably just stick to complaining about the goverment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,417 ✭✭✭Archeron


    Right. Just finished building my apocolypse proof love bunker in the garden. Complete with entertainment room, bar, hydro spa (for the laaadies), olympic pool, 27 themed bedrooms and the patented "Apoco-cam" so we can watch the fun from the super comfy couch in the TV Zone.

    Bidding for places starts at 1000 shekels. (only bids by hot women will be considered)
