    And no soppy answers like 'Family photos' or 'My kids'..

    I'd pick up the sitting room, kitchen, and three bedrooms.

    Well presuming that my phone, wallet and car keys are already in my pocket it would have to be my Xbox, TV and hard drive.

    I'd then tell the missus to grab the two dogs and my laptop and close the door on the way out :)

    You'd take 3 fire extinguishers from the house, leave the house and then go back in to put out the fire? Seems a bit long-winded.

    They say in a fire you should only take stuff like cash, photos and your plasma/LCD tv...but you should only take the tv after you've plugged out all other appliances.

    I hope that advice saves someone's life one day...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    You liar. I don't even have a house.

    That "advice" is more likely to kill someone tbh!

    Fire safety is no laughing matter.

    No, it's just the northern lights

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

    I have a lot of stuff that would be hard to get/afford again, but I'd just go for the stuff that can't be replaced at all. So that'd be a couple of boxes of original production art (animation cels, comic art etc), my precious Megadrive prototype games and my atomiswave candy cab. Good luck to me getting the cab out during a fire though :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Your kids.
    Ah, but i dont have kids! - and if i did i wouldnt let you 'save' them...:)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    Your kids.

    I apologise in advance but seriously, it's 'paedophile'.

    A Judo suit.

    One Judo book - The Pyjama Game.

    My gout medication.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,738 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Computer... nothing else worth saving really. Kids and pets can walk out themselves

    One Judo book - The Pyjama Game.

    Damn, where's that "gayest sport" thread again?

    Nothing.

    I don't own anything that I can't walk away from in 30 seconds flat, when I feel the "Heat" coming.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 115 ✭✭MissMiami


    I'd probably say my laptop, camera and a bracelet I got as a present a few years ago although I know if I really did have to get out while the house is on fire, I'd forget about those and just get out as fast as I could!

    Anything that might make me a suspect in said house fire.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    What about the homeless?

    I'd take my sleeping bag
    Mcdonalds cup
    Portable needle and belt
