    I’m on the edge, Beginning to think I should buy a massive chest freezer and hunker down. (I’ve done no panic buying to date, herd mentality is setting in).In all seriousness, this is getting serious....

    How the Fock are you planning to keep sane in the next few weeks....

    Two weeks?! Hah! Amateur!

    Binge watching Doomsday Preppers on Netflix....

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

    No point buying a chest freezer, society only breaks down when the water and ESB go down. The newbies are buying dried pasta, packet soup and frozen food, all no good to you if the **** his the fan.
    You have to think about the long game!

    Sorry about that
    Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Sorry about that


    Keep busy, that's the main thing. Maybe volunteer at a local community group, no wait, that's no good. Go and visit an elderly neighbour, no, actually don't do that. Offer to take your nieces and nephews off for the day, oh no, you can't do that either.
    Just basically keep busy.

    No one expects the national grid to go down or the mains water to stop working Might be a few isolated outages and take longer to repair than usual. Food also unlikely to run out. Main thing to prepare for would be avoiding cabin fever id say

    Yeah the initial reaction is should I go and bulk buy before it's all gone! But the shops are all fine and stocked up.
    Stay busy at home do some gardening or anything to
    Pass the time away. De clutter.
    I have kids so I can't do anything different if anything I'm busier they have no school so it's a long day entertaining feeding cleaning and cleaning after them. And trying to get them to do something productive indoors as it's raining and they can't really go out

    Learn a craft or other useful discipline, fill your time with something practical - paint the house, paint the garden walls/fences, take up dog walking.

    October is when I see normality being restored, it's going to be a messy journey until then. I see martial law, rations, control of movement within the country all coming.

    Apocalypse here, Dettol wipes and bottles at the ready and even a bottle of vodka on hand as hand cleaner.
    It may never be used but it's here. And no I didn't panic buy, well I did on the vodka!

    Absolutely !

    Anyway, everyone should panic buy and leaving nothing for everybody else. We're all doomed.

    Even the alien invasion is on hold now. Drat......
