    To do what? A third world war will be very short.

    No, we're a neutral country. We couldn't be drafted as the military wouldn't be fighting.

    We'd all collectively put the kettle on.

    It'd be over by Christmas :pac:

    If anything existed thereafter I doubt concepts like Ireland would exist.

    If I survived I'd be whittling a big stick and searching for fist size stones to get ahead of the game for world war IV.

    We'd probably order a heap of ****e off the Internet as currencies collapsed and retire to the pub until it all blows over.

    I would buy lots of oats, lots and lots of oats and beans, plus dozens of boxes of tea.
    Lots of flour, and have some milk from my own cows.

    Food would be my biggest concern.

    Just hope we have a prevailing wind to avoid the nuclear fallout.

    It has occurred to me that, since I don't watch TV, the red buttons could be pressed and I would be blissfully unaware. Right up until I'm vapourized.

    Only Joan Burton and Cockroaches would be left but somehow the traffic on the M50 would still be bad!

    We'do probably do what we always did.

    Say we're supporting the English, but really hoping the Germans give them a hiding.

    I don't know how you can stay so calm. What if the red button gets pressed when some obscure sport is on BBC and the battery dies and like you can never turn it off? Curling forever? **** that.

    It'd be the end of the world.

    Loads of back seat modding as the mods will be either called up or too busy modding the WW3 forum...
