It's the end of the world as we know it

This weekend multiple police forces on social media have been advising us to prepare for an "unknown" emergency by having a Grab bag ready




Looking at the contents what are we preparing for ?


Twitter theory is Zombie Apocalypse amongst other things (maybe the orange dust on the Rye has some indication of what's coming)


All very strange


Personally I think they missed the obvious items out including alcohol, packet of chocolate biscuits, pick axe (for the Zombies) and a pair of sunglasses (in case of nuclear glare) box of matches and two Boy Scouts to rub together to make a fire when the matches run out. (Don't forget the kitchen sink)


What would you have in yours ?

I think this is more something that applies if you live in an area where a natural disaster is a possibility. (I'm not quite sure what natural disasters are commonplace in Scotland but I'm sure the good folk of the EDF could come up with some hilarious suggestions).


If you're worried about a zombie apocalypse, I would suggest that a pick axe would be far too heavy for battling approaching hordes of the undead. It seems that a samurai sword is pretty effective, if that's any help?

They will come!


Renowned studio Nikkatsu (born of the post war studio division by the government, interesting story there) who gave birth to the genre of Roman Poruno or "Pink Eiga" had an experiment producing a set of films exploring grotesque horror, super violence and just plain good old dirty fun. The hope was to attract a healthy enough outside audience for them to continue, but, sadly, they were kept to a cult thing due to snooty, unimaginative audiences preferring to be spoon fed Hollywood trash instead of far more fun Japanese fare.


I highly recommend getting some friends round and reenacting your very own night at the Scala by holding an all-night viewing of the whole Sushi Typhoon gamut :)

    • If I buy a soap dispenser and want it to produce foam, do I need to add water? What is the ratio of water to hand soap? 
    • That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it 
    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.    
    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
