    Seriously! If there was a nuclear attack or a meteorite strike while sitting in your gaff right now what would you do? All electricity and phone lines are down and your estate/apt building is in a heap and you're left standing in your PJs with no way of contacting your friends and family.

    What would you do?

    This pops into my head every now and then and it freaks me out. I dont know anyone within a 20 mile radius so to get "home" itd be a long feckin walk in my polka dot fake silk pennys pyjamas.

    It must pop into a lot of peoples' heads because I see an awful lot of knackers wearing pyjamas to the shops, maybe they're just preparing for the imminent strike!

    Oh and I wouldn't be concerned about being see in your PJ's outdoors. Given today's trend, I think you'd be well in fashion.

    I'd go back to sleep. Sure everything sorts itself out after a good kip.

    I would stand, look up at the heavens and applaud.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,362 ✭✭✭K4t


    I'd dry hump my pc screen with a picture of J-Lo's arse as the wallpaper.

    I had this one prepared.

    A good old fashioned ride could be on the cards. I would have to hide the fact the world just ended from the moth. She would be devestaed without her phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,231 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I'd come on here, moan about it, get banned and then try and get half the money back that I'd spent on a diary.

    Actually, I'd stand facing the disaster and just close my eyes seconds before it hits, so I can be cool like Liam Neeson in Batman Begins...... just in case this world is ALSO a film. Gotta be cool for whoever's watching!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭LD 50


    I'd log on to Boards, spam every forum with "YORE MA" and wait for the impending doom, knowing my work was completed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I'd run into town and give the Molly Malone statue's tits a good long squeeze.

    There always seems to somebody around whenever I pass.

    In the event of an impending nuclear holocaust, I wouldn't no longer have to kowtow to restrictive societal norms.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭Random


    I'd hide the evidence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,377 ✭✭✭An Fear Aniar


    I'd blame it on 800 years of oppression then binge on "survivor guilt".

    Something racist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 384 ✭✭Banter Joe


    I'd get me a shotgun. Stop those zombies. Uh huh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,150 ✭✭✭kumate_champ07


    if it was ending or if there was destruction and chaos?

    there are a few options.

    A. go it alone. find the nearest shop and stock up on water and tinned fish and high calorie foods, tinned foods, oil and other stuff. depending on the weather id collect wood for a fire. id use my bike or walk around the area to see whats going on.

    B. gather up my neighbours and organise others to go around the immediate area and set up a meeting that evening. find out who are the doctors, smart people, managers, leaders etc. form a committee and make a plan. gather supplies and make out rations. organise a team to head into the city and see whats going on. use bicycles or a car. take petrol from all the cars in the area, store in containers and only use a couple of cars when needed.


    C. raid the nearest off licence and electrical store. ghetto blaster and booze= apocalyptic party, end on a high! no need to worry about a hangover/where to sleep/work in the morning/std's/unwanted pregnancy etc

    D. sleeping pill overdose

    E. fly off to another planet

    so much in life is taken for granted. running water, fridges, supermarkets, animals killed for us so we can eat meat. what if we lost everything and had to start over? ive thought about it, but not too much, its good to be prepared for any situation. 'dont panic, think it thru'.

    i dont wear pennys pj's but i do wear their seamless boxer briefs, some kind of microfiber i think. very comfortable, very sheer like satin. umm, ye...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,378 ✭✭✭✭jimmycrackcorm


    As I work in IT, I was just wondering if in this scenario there was enough time to do a server backup.

    Also as I'm in management I'd like to do a total backup policy first - can we delay the whole mass destruction project until all the stakeholders are ready by any chance?

    Hit the supermarket, the chemist, the off licence and the pub. In that order.

    Just another day.

    Also, thread title fixed.
    You can change the title on your own threads by double clicking beside the title of the main page. You're limited by time though. 2 days I think.
