Iodine tabs.........

in a spot of bother..
you know the iodine tabs that were sent to every1's house... in case of radioactive iodine...!? well.. i never receved any.. an i only heard that they were sent back in june. ive looked at the back of the packet they come in (friend had them), an i checked all the sites that were on the back of it.
none and i mean NONE of them said anything about where to get them, plus Ger (the person who i got the package off) has 4 in her family.. her, 14year old, 11year old, an a 9yr old. she needs to take 2 and so does her 14 an 11yr old.. the 9 yr old needs 1 but only 6 come in the pack.. she needs 7.. i mean whats the deal with that.. an it dont even say where to get more if needed..
any sugestions..?

i don't think you have to worry about us getting nuked or a sellafield meltdown anytime soon.

in the event of a nuclear disaster it will be survival of the fittest. why not start earlier than everyone else in the looting and general civil unrest that will follow by breaking into pensioners houses and steal their iodine?

seriously what difference will 6 iodine tabs do when the four minute warning sounds?

Children don't need to take a full tablet.

If a nuke is dropped on us or sellafield has a meltdown i really dont think an iodine tab is going to do much. Sure it helps your thoride (sp) gland i think ...but what about the rest of you ?

I think my mother threw out the ones we got in one of her regular cleaning fits. If a nuke is dropped or sellafield meltsdown I'll await my searing, painful death with a pint of murphys in either hand

I know, I've had the same problem. I rang up the department of the environment looking for more cause I ate all the ones they gave me after a night on the piss (we ran out of toast) and they told me to shag off!

ere, how exactly does the 4min warnin work? a big whippy van drives around the neighbourhood and when everyone runs out to get one they are told?

Read/heard/or quite possibly dreamt that bertie and the bouys intend to send out further packets once the first batch has been delivered.

do you know of anyone who has ever bough ice cream off a mr. whippy van? no, they are employed by the government for exactly that you said. its a conspiracy.
