PhilippineSaint Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 Bit late on here. Will we be able to update our status on FB after the world ends? You know, just shot 27 Zombies, home made Ark working fine after the Tsunami, which way is North now the Poles have reversed. If the Poles have reversed, does this mean FMDP now bats for the other side? I thought she would have done anyway and you were the meat in her sandwich or you will be at the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudders Posted 17 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 17 December, 2012 will the zombies (if thats the outcome) be allergic to anything like erm Kaffir Lime Leaves or Bran Flakes as we could stockpile these now. 4 days to go and despite yesterdays warning not to get too hung up on it being Zombies as there’s only a small chance of that happening, Jillyanne seems to have become obsessed in the detail of a zombie attack. For anyone who is not Jillyanne, please just skip the next paragraph. Jillyanne, apparently they are allergic to Peanuts, pollen and mold. You may be able to capture some zombies (good luck) and carry out some additional testing for your Bran Flakes and weird leaves but it’s a risky strategy, I’m no expert but I’d advise staying away from them or just killing them, rather than feeding them bran flakes. For everyone but Jillyanne, take a break from planning today, you’ve earnt it. Sit back with a cup of tea and chuckle to yourself whist you think about how much more prepared for killing you are compared with others who are thinking about trying to give invaders an upset tummy or seeing if they have gluten allergies Here's todays countdown photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got to Start at the international date line and go forward from there. You lucky sods in the UK have got 8 hours more than us in the far east. But the TV pics will show the horrors of what you will have to endure. Whilst we will already be in full zombie mode killing and eating anything although Stains had better be quick or the Koreans may get all the dogs before him.

Jillyanne Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 I am due to work at 6pm, would be handy to have the heads up n whether to go in or not, would rather either die, get zombiefied, vampirefied, or be fine at home rather than at work tbh.

dubai_phil Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 Well, in true takeover thread style, the good news for us down here is that Friday is our Sunday. So we'll all be down the pub having our Christmas Brunch all day. Oh crap that doesn't work. Because in theory IF the world ends on Friday in the Pacific Rim countries it will still be Thursday night here. OK, so Thursday night is our Friday night. Yep can still be down the pub until 3am. This whole not knowing whether it is going to be instantaneous for all of us or a creeping disaster is worrying me FAR more than fighting off Zombies. We have to do that down here every time we get on the Metro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 I'm thinking that in terms of metres above sea level, higher is better. First, you may survive any tsunamis caused by an asteroid dunking into the sea. Second, the daunting uphill climb may deter chubby zombies. Finally, good sight lines and defensibility. What would people recommend as minimum safe height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillyanne Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 If Tsunamis are a real possibility Here's a whole new thought, how about we build a wooden boat, that way we would have wood to burn when the water subsides. We could take a couple of each living animal, insect etc (apart from spiders, they are bad and could get zombiefied and turn massive) and when everything is ok, they can all reproduce, oh hang on....

pap Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 I think we've left it too late for any ark-based plans. People in houseboats are well prepared, provided they survive the initial splash. I plan to be at least 60 metres above sea level, with the option to go higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Fred Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 What would people recommend as minimum safe height? You want to get it just right, and get a property just the right height above sea level. I bought my current house as I worked out once global warming kicks in it would just above sea level (Currently it is 10 miles from the sea).It's slightly higher than the places behind it so it should become a beachfront property. I reckoned it would at least quadruple in value....Not sure how the apocalypse will affect property values as the general "worlds ending scenario" may cancel out the benefit of the sea front property though? However break even will still be better then all those suckers behind me with their flooded houses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colehillsaint Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 Spudgun; sorry if you aren't doing requests but are you covering advice on transportation later in the week? My wife is suggesting we should rely on public transport, but that kind of thinking is not going to see her past the first onslaught. Presumably we can loot stuff so do we go small and fast, (dirt bike), or big and unstoppable, (bull dozer)? What should we get, and what should we weld to it?

Spudders Posted 17 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 17 December, 2012 Good call colehill, I'll make travel tomorrows subject, but my advice would be to ensure that if you survive the initial onslaught, make sure you are wearing footwear you can run in, tell your wife flip-flops are a no-no. You may also wish to highlight to her the scale of the end of the world as it sounds like she's confusing it with an increase in fuel prices?

Presumably we can loot stuff so do we go small and fast, (dirt bike), or big and unstoppable, (bull dozer)? What should we get, and what should we weld to it? As requested, today we’ll think about transportation and movement from location to location in the days after the apocalypse, before you die. If any of your family are like colehillsaints wife and think it be better to get the bus as they don’t want to risk getting the car damaged with all the carnage, they’re not comprehending what the end of the world means! The reality is that we’re all going to die Friday or in the following few weeks, so is there really any point in trying to survive those extra weeks anyway? If you do want to drag it all out so you can see lots of pain and suffering and maybe participate in some looting, raping and pillaging, then you are going to need to get about! The better transportation you can find, the more of a target you’ll be to others trying to nick your wheels. Colehill has referenced two things, a dirt bike and an unstoppable bull dozer. I’d question if a bull dozer that travels at walking pace is really unstoppable? I’ll leave you to think about that. A dirt bike would be great but sooner or later some big bully like the stain will nick it from you (and he’ll probably give you AIDS for fun at the same time). So your best option for wheels isn’t wheels, it’s your feet. These are less likely to be stolen from you, so get yourself some footwear that you can run in as you’re likely to be doing a lot of that if you survive. If you are a total fatso you are doomed, don’t bother prepping over the last few days, just get some family sized bags of doritos (two for one at tescos at the moment) and enjoy your last couple of days.

Thursday evening you need to make your move as once the chaos starts on Friday it will be too late. Take the captain and crew out first then all other men and then the muntas. You and your army can then sit back and await the armegedon in full control with a hoard of beautiful women at your beck and call.
