So the world is ending - will you watch or hide?

faceman

Ok, so we know one thing. The world is deffo gonna end anytime soon. If it isnt the Large Hydron Collider its Cold War 2.0 with it's stray nuclear missiles. Or maybe it will just be a big flood. (Thanks God, but you promised Noah you wouldnt after the last one!)

So when the inevitable happens and we are all told when, what would you do? Would you hop on the bus to the phoenix park, sit in a field and watch the place explode in a mushroom cloud around you (or a black hole consume you) or would you rather in a last minute futile attempt, hid your head in the sand thinking it will make it go away?

I wonder if the bombs were dropping, how many people would take refuge in their fridge?

You know you can edit titles.

LHC is a crock of ****.

It's up there with steorn.

I'd watch it all happen on boards.
Seems to be the place I find out about stuff first!

id probably say goodbye to family and friends, and then spend the rest of the time running around in circles, screaming 'im too young to diiiiiiieeeee'

or else id get my group of oil drilling friends together, get a spaceship and go sort out the problem

rational, i think

Pighead

Pighead would go out in a blaze of glory. Like James Cagney in White Heat but without the explosions. There would be dual accounts, calling mods cnuts, starting Dublin threads in non Dublin City forums and maybe even PM's sent to minors asking if they'd like to come round for some kreepy karaoke.

We should invest in a massive clock, which would count down the seconds to the end of the world.

Oh and we should put it in the Liffey, so that all might be able to see it.

That'd be good.

I invited a bunch of minors to a karaoke recently but the only songs they knew the words to were some BeeGees song about New York in 1941, one from an old Disney film about some stoned slut and that song off the Pot Noodle ad.

Shame on them for not knowing 'Going Underground'!

Well, the world is ending, so hiding isn't exactly gonna help.

I'd watch it from a field or the mountains or something, probably regret not having someone with me like a girlfriend

Phlann

I'd climb to the top of the trade union building and watch, butt-naked and laughing like a madman, as it all came tumbling down around me. Like some sort of nudie king of the apocalypse.


Maybe. I haven't given it much thought.

They were great crack though all the same. Really livened up the party by flashing their helmets. It seams the girls were all over them because they kept telling them that miners go deeper and stay longer ore something in that vein.

Silenceisbliss

id be on boards also. see who gets the last "yore ma" joke in....:pac:

Apocalypses (sp? Not sure what the plural is. One is usually enough.) are the great leveller though. Just look at Mars Attacks. The first daughter wouldn't have looked twice at that greasy haired loser before but when the aliens are coming along destroying all and sundry, she suddenly got a lot less picky.

minxie

id drink myself into a stupor and watch it all unfold.....:p

chopperbyrne

When the Zombie Horde starts attacking I'll go to contingency plan A.

Very good point, we'd all get laid no matter what!!

Have all the goths and emos gather around it during the day.

rossie1977

there is nowhere to hide if a blackhole is created on earth, ditto the sun going supernova or a something as small as a one mile wide meteor hitting the earth; not sure anyone would survive a super bio virus either, maybe those in the southpole might

as for nuclear war if i knew a few days in advance i would probably head to south africa or maybe chile, should be free from fallout there as i watch usa, europe, russia, middle east, india, pakistan, both koreas, china and japan go up in mushroom clouds

I'll hide with yore ma!!!! :pac::pac:

adsgirl

Duvet day, only way to go on a day like that.

truecrippler

I'd go on the lash in town naked. Would be fun.
If the world was ending, I'd accept it and just have one last laugh... or get laughed at. Either way works.

ART6

A packet of fags and a bottle of good Irish whiskey, a deckchair in the garden under an umbrella in the pouring rain (what else). Get quietly pissed with her indoors and watch with interest.

Drink loads and shag like it's the end of the world...

Sex. So much sex. Better than the once in seven years us vulcans adhere to.

Sounds like a plan. I would go on a knacker hunt. I'm going to hell anyway.

Hopefully we'd get to or three days notice about iot so then i'll have time to get an aeroplane ticket, go to Florida and Hijack a Spaceshuttle, there's bound to be one unmanned, and then i'll watch the world end from space. Afterwards i'll go back down and try to see what i can salavage and try to find anymore surviors while fighting off Darkseekers and whatnot. OH LET IT BE:D

I was really disappointed when I realised I was a human.
