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 :)

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
