    Will smokes be good as currency ?

    No idea what a super 6 pepper list, but it'll probably be tricky to get if they do.
    No
    Always

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    No idea what a prepper list is.

    Of course not.

    In some quarters, yes.

    What does prepper mean?

    Someone who prepares for a specific situation is known as a "prepper".....like doomsday fcukers.

    As long as there are enough yellow Snacks to go around, be grand.

    What does prepper mean?

    It's short for prepare, even though it has the same number of letters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Are Am Eye


    I'd say your main preparation would be to build a fallout shelter
    in advance. These have to built to very specific standards to withstand
    the shock blast and keep out gamma rays. Food and water for two weeks. Air intake and exhaust pipes and air purification system. Generator and diesel supply. Deck of cards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭worded


    Is there anything to deflect a stray missile from your roof ? A trampoline roof would be good o suppose ..

    A few boxs of matches are always handy as are lighters. Off to Henry street .... lighters - 5 for a euro

    Ok I've got to make a list

    What does prepper mean?

    Someone who prepares themselves for the apocalypse by buying loads of canned food and boring the shyte out of everyone else by telling them how well prepared they are.

    Basically, they are the sort of people you would least like to be with in a post apocalyptic scenario as they would be very smug with their non-iron 'I told you so', 'I told you so.'.

    If door mats, snow chains and a screwdriver with 4325 attachments would be helpful during WW3, then Aldi has us covered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭worded


    Any other Aldi / LIDL must haves ?

    I havnt eaten ambrosia rice since a camping trip 30 years ago

    Must put that on the list

    There's no war on the way.

    If, by some astronomical odds, some sort of conflict did break out, it wouldn't affect us in the slightest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭worded


    A home razor so I can cut my hair in the new North Korean look and now world leader .... in case he wins like

    Agree with this, Rocketman™ is over in NK and about as far away as you could wish for.

    There's more chance of directly being affect by any of the following: Niribu (due today Google?:23rdSeptember2017), MegaVolcances (Yellowstone or Naples), 100meter+ Asteroid impacts (that sure would make a bit of a mess), Pole-shifts (very unlikely), the GCanaria landfall, XC100Solarflares etc.

    But just in case, this is all you need for 6mths:

    1) 1,000L of <4oC chilled, filtered and restructured water
    2) 180 Tinned Soups (variety, but remove labels for some extra excitement)
    3) 40kg of Flahavans Organic Oats (can't beat it)
    4) 1,080 tins of Guinness (provides most of your nutritional needs*)
    5) 180 cartons of Orange Juice (*the remainder of the nutritional needs)
    6) A nice aftershave, some flowers/club(opt) in-case all the niteclubs are still closed after 6mths of the Tribulation and re-seeding is needed.

    I'm just on Tesco home delivery now and they have none of that italian filtered water I like bit looking good for the rest ... now to pick a good delivery time. Lots of club points on this !

    Don't want to be a scare mongrer or anything, but in ww2 a. Lot of planes got lost and crash landed here

    Some of those missiles could go astray

    An apology wont be enough when all the water is poisoned and you are gagging for a pint of Guinness

    Just saying


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,314 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    Food
    Water
    Flashlight
    First aid kit
    reading material
    flares


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭worded


    It would be like a year of good Fridays people !

    Time to stock up on booze for a very long session in the bunker!

    We are all just 48 hours and 3 meals and a few pints away from being savages.

    Imagine being sober for a year, ah the dread

    People over look the importance of a flesh light. Stuck in a bunker with no lights... Grab the flesh light. Guaranteed to brighten up any dark bunker.
    Wouldn't encourage sharing a flesh light, no matter how dark it is.

    You do realize we live next door to the United Kingdom? They are just as bad as the Americans for war. While there is no signs of a imminent nuclear global war,. Wars between countries will continue to be a real thing. Eventually countries with nuclear weapons will clash, when and where? North Korea clash with the United States has the highest probability right now of being a shooting war with nuclear weapons being used?

    And it's not north Korea that you need to worry about, It's their Chinese allies who would be obligated to take their side in a conflict.

    But now opting for grey flares as an essential, is showing too much faith in the glorious leader's chances of world domination.

    adding binoculars so we can have a good aul shtaaare. We as a nation like two things a good aul gawk and shtare, and throwing stuff at people (rocks, cans, sweets, chips)

    Sure who would invade us, or blow us up? We're more likely to succumb to guinness farts of a sunday morning.

    It's not the invading we need to worry about, Ireland has been designated N.W.B. (nuclear whipping boy). Meaning that in the event of a nuclear war, all allied nations will first calibrate their missiles by bombing Ireland.

    You need 4325 attachments because each one is fecked after one use.

    Thats if the cheap crap can survive a nuclear blast.

    What they sell as "food" would be grand.. If it has not gained legs and walked out itself!
