    When the nuclear war begins,
    And that wall of fire approaches,
    Consume those iodine pills,
    And be eaten by cockroaches!

    That was great, some minister makes a fúck up on the radio, so the government makes it ok by sending a packet of tablets to everyone in the country. :rolleyes:
    These guys were in charge of running the country, it's no wonder we're in such a mess.

    Since I'm a Protestant, I threw mine away. It was common knowledge that the tablets were nobbled to make us stubborn and infertile.

    No, it was the other way round! They make you less stubborn and more fertile.

    IIRC basically there was a small accident , and the minister ( Willie O'Dea ?? ) was on the radio and was asked what would happen if Sellafield/Windscale ( whatever they calling it this week ) was attacked. He made such a balls of the answer ( how unusual ) and was backed into a corner . They then had to send out the tablets to try allow him to recover some of his dignity . I am sure someone can find the radio interview in question.

    ok, after a little research , looks like I owe WOD an apology

    It was Joe Jacob who made a bit of a fool of himself

    I was married to a woman who would consume anything if she thought it would give her a buzz.
    The day they were delivered, she swallowed the lot (8).
    PS they had no effect.

    Meh, Sellafield/Windscale had a Level 4 nuclear disaster in 1957 and no-one batted an eyelid.

    No-one but yerself knew about it obviously


    I think we still have our Iodine tablets in a drawer in the sideboard. And that'd be simply cos the bloody drawer is in dire need of a sort through and hasn't yet been so they are hanging on. Soon as that drawer is purged they'l be flung.

    If Sellafield exploded we'd have a Green Liffey 365 days a year, think of the tourism potential!
