    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.

    Every house in the country would be turned upside down looking for those feckin iodine tablets.

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

    Remember those snakes that you put at the bottom of doors? Draught proof.

    WW3? We're already in it. Its in those President Louise Hopkins threads

    Bullet The Blue Shirts

    We'd all say, "A draft! Close the feckin door ya gob****e!"

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭Cortina_MK_IV


    You'd be given a weapon and then taxed on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,775 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    A new round of iodine tablets distribution would happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,771 ✭✭✭degsie


    WW4.0 would be fought with shticks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    It'll be fought with Cockroaches.

    I took mine on Wednesday morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,086 ✭✭✭questionmark?


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,391 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    I can see some country creating a Eutopia before WW3.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,399 ✭✭✭eeguy


    We'do probably do what we always did.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12

    Don't worry there would be a thread in After Hours about it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭The flying mouse


    It would awaken a sleeping giant and we would then kick some ass.

    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.

    I don't know.... hmm... oh! Plug the ****ing tv out

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

    We're all ****ed if ww3 starts, no electricity, no nothing after a few weeks, cannibalism is the new fad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,771 ✭✭✭degsie


    At least we'd stop worrying if we left the immersion on.
