Is there anyone preparing for when it dose go BOOM !!

If all out war starts in the middle east the first thing that will go wallop will be oil supply. If its serious enough it eventually will strangle transportation, movement of goods and services and worst case scenario rationing the power grid.

Preparing would be anything from downgrading to a more economical car or getting a motorbike / scooter, organizing and getting accustomed to push bikes, purchasing a generator set, (While they are available at Lidl / Aldi), decent lED flash lamps, Gerry cans for fuel, and stocking up with non perishables.

During the 70’s fuel crisis the old man had to queue for up to two hours to fill up. and sometimes being turned away if garages ran dry, some places rationed fuel to regular customers only. We were made cycle to school.

Go away with your depressing threads.

Smoke some weed bud, get some sex, relax, light a candle, read a fiction book, go to the coast and breath.

Life is grand.

Who on earth was driven to school in the '70's?!

My advice to you is to batten hatches in your parent's palatial mansion.

You can issue a good BER cert for the house so you wont be suffering from fuel poverty anyway. Burn a few twigs and tell yourself its A++ rated youll feel warmer straight away

I'd only gotten as far as beer, prophylactics and a crossbow, hadn't thought of food!

Oh and some oil for my bicycle, don't want my chain getting rusty.

I would reckon some oil companies would surely welcome a war? ... a chance to raise the average oil drum up ten times the value or what not? .. Unless said oil company gets its oil from Syeria :P

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there will be no war in the M.E.

The 70's fuel crisis brought of a four fold price increase.

The Oil companies would look for any excuse to jack up their prices.

It wouldn't make a difference where it comes from, they all work in cartel.

3 miles, 2 main roads, no cycle lanes either.

I bet you wouldn't let your 10 year old child out on the streets on his bike after dark not alone cycle two miles to school.

am I the only one who'd want the apocalypse? like not depressing The Road stuff but like Mad Max, that'd be class.

My 9 year old cycles to school on her own. About 1km, not in the dark as school's not open then.

In my own primary school days I cycled in from the age of 8. In the 70's everyone did. No one was driven in. Few had cars tbh.

Funnily enough I was speaking to a financial adviser on Saturday and he was saying that there's no hope for the Euro and the whole this's going to go belly up any day now and we'll only find out when we turn on the radio some morning. When I asked him about what I should do about money etc. he said I should start buying up beans and guns!! It was a bit alarming tbh but i'm starting to think he may be right........:eek:

I'll be grand. I've got enough spice to last 50 generations.

Run_to_da_hills, did you hear anything about the water being dumbed down by lithium to keep the masses from revolting? I've heard a few people talking about it lately and a lot of people seem to have shocking memories of late.

Winter months it would always be dark leaving the house particularly if it was raining. The school use to hand out reflective arm bands.

My older brother was knocked down by a car on the way to school, he was 11, ended up in Cappagh on traction for 3 months.

Mormons have been preparing for this for quite some time.

I think Run_to_da_Hills is himself, a conspiracy.

a government ploy to brainwash us into assuming all conspiracy theories must be just as ludicrous, and to dismiss

My next door neighbour used to drive his daughters to primary school every morning, collect them by car at lunch, drive them back after lunch and collect them by car after school every day. They never, ever gave us a lift to school, even though we were in the same year, the stingy bastids. The school was about a 10 minute walk away and a group of us used to walk together every day.
