    Become the landlord of a pub and serve pints to my mannequin friends

    I'd go to Penneys and rob one of EVERYTHING, then go to Tesco and loot enough food and drink to keep me going for a few months. Then I'd get really lonely :(

    Crucial question: Is my dog still here or has she vanished as well?

    Indeed. And after that, and a suitable amount of panty-huffing, probably settle down to a life of doing whatever I like and, I dunno, going quietly but productively insane. In fact it probably wouldn't make much difference, except I may possibly cultivate a beard with a rabbit-bone in it. I would probably eventually become obsessed with the idea that Elvis had beamed everyone else off to the Paradise Planet except me.

    Think I'd go to the zoo and let all the animals out. Just to make scavenging trips a bit more interesting.

    What are you planning on doing to it? :p
    No dog, complete isolation in an empty city.

    I would find a fork lift, and go around the whole of Dublin, and place cars correctly into car parking spaces.

    I had no idea what a Switzers was so just assumed it was a shop I've never heard of...

    I'd go around setting buildings on fire. And then I'd steal a fire engine and put the fires out.

    Yeah, knickers sniffing for me too.

    Most likely steal cars and go to hot female celebs houses though, like Andrea Corr, Sarah Morrissey etc, find their laundry basket and just bliss out.

    Not much else to do in an deserted Apocalypse scenario in fairness.

    Oh, and I'd have a go a few of the swings in Tayto Park.

    Drive around in Bonos Maserati with the knickers in my head! Who's going to give a damn anyway?

    Wander around aimlessly for a few days, then kill myself when the loneliness becomes unbearable.

    Petrol Station to fill up my car and some nicer cars I saw on my way to the station. Burn whatever I can't take.

    Supply and Demand

    I have the supply, I have the demand. I win 100% of the time

    You must be new here :) :P

    As for me.....I'd build a fort out of some building and when that got used up or i got bored, I've move on making another fort from another building until I found a building i liked and stayed there, and then make it my base :pac:

    I'd find these 2 movies and watch them before the power goes, for inspiration:

    Check the internet to see if any other countries are still populated.
    Stockpile Petrol (as the pumps will presumably run out of electricity pretty soon).
    Torrent every movie I can before the net goes down due to lack of power in the ISPs.
    Get down to a Builders Providers to find a generator.
    Take a spin to a landrover dealership and pick up a Defender, spare parts and the Workshop Repair Manual.
    Drive to a gun club to arm myself.
    Move into the nicest house I can find.
    Make regular trips to Easons and furnish myself with a nice library.
    Leave some sort of sign in Dublin Airport to let any rescuers from other nations know that the country is still populated.
    Declare a new Republic and re-write the legal system from scratch.

    But where will you get the time to fall in love with the dangerous yet beautiful stranger you met on your travels?

    I would take the Stena Line car ferry out into the Irish Sea turn it around and run it at full speed up the Liffey taking out all the bridges

    2 more things:
    - find some sort of Wilson-type interface that will let you practice your social skills before you go completely loo-la
    - Create some sort of self-destruct device to avoid a long and painful death if you're incapacitated. And hope you're able to press the button...
