He didn't really get a diploma, it was sort of a bertie job, y'know, tell 'em ya have it, tell it for long enough, and you start to believe it yourself. I was a one day course called "How to live on a farm," and Snype fell asleep half way through.

ohhhhh no, it was a real one. Mountbellew.

Worst 12 months of my life, even worst than the 18 months i spent as a hostage in Afganistan

Ok, so Afganistan is not true, but the horrid experience of Mountbellew scars for life

Ive learned from a very early age to fend for myself.

Bless my mother, shes a great woman but cant cook for sh1t. Ive seen my own missus throw out leftovers to the dog that look better than my mothers sunday dinners.

Depends on the reason for it. Get out of the city straight away. Find some fresh water and some bread for the poodle sandwich. Wear the remains of the dog on your head to look menacing. Try to find Bertie or Pat Kenny as I am sure that those jammy gits would have a shelter. Then the knife comes into play :mad:

I occasionally muse about what I'd do if civilisation collapsed, and I reckon I could do alright.

First I'd claim Áras an Uachtaráin and shut the gates of the Phoenix Park. The family could give the place a good clean and start digging up some lawns to plant veg whilst I headed out of the city on horseback to get some sheep, which the dogs could help me round up. I'd eat the zoo animals and probably use some of the enclosures to keep chickens in. There's plenty of deer in there to vary your diet, and there's a lot of wood there too.

For more hardcore survival I know how to prepare common snails for eating, and have been instructed as to how to turn worms into a protien-rich thickener for stews, though I'd bet that they taste like sh*t anyway. I also know how to cook woodlice; apparently they're delicious.
