Imagine the world is about to end..........

[julesapple]

Would there be mass (but pointless) rioting? Some thug who loots a tv then the world goes BANG! before he can get it home and plug it in........swift justice!

I wouldn't renew my tv license then....even more pointless than renewing it now.....!

[areia]

id give dr who a ring and ask for a full view of the earths demise via the tardis

LOL I started this when someone asked if we were behind or ahead and I said 'If the world ended would we go first?'
I had a chance to find out what I'd do years ago. And it wouldn't have changed.
About a week after the Twin Towers in the USA, I had one child home 'a bit sick' and a toddler. Had to go to the local shopping centre after dropping one at school. When I got there there was a group doing face painting, drawing etc, with small children. So I dropped two there, went down two floors to pay a layby, and just as I arrived at the counter the lights went out. Very dark, suddenly very very quiet. Then some emergency lighting came on. Everyone started moving to the front of the shop, then there was a huge amount of people moving very fast towards exits and stairs.
As we were racing along a voice called out of a shop 'What's going on? What's going on?' And I called back 'I don't know but we're all getting out.'
I had to get back up two floors to get to my kids, thru the dark. All I wanted was to get them all together. I grabbed them and thanked the one worker who'd stayed back with them and we all got out. The car park (massive) was gridlocked. The kids were asking what was happening (and did I like their painted faces!) I was trying to get back to pick up my other son from the school. The only thing that concerned me was getting us all together. Eventually I heard on the car radio that lightning had stuck a major electrical plant and our whole area was blacked out. Took an hour or more to get thru with the lights out as well.
Now? I'd like me family together. I'd like a really nice glass of red (or more than one if I have time) and my kids, and I'd walk around the garden with the boys while we waited. My daughter would be out in the paddock kissing the horses!

I would say "I told ya so!", climb off my soap box and carry my "The World is Ending" sign home.

On a serious note:
As long as I was with the people that matter, I wouldnt really care where I was or what I was doing.

However,
If its only people here (on the vine) who are savvie to this impending demise, then I would probably start smoking again, drink some extremely expensive wine and book a round the world trip in my own private jumbo jet!

Imagine, if you will, that Feral in Oz has just posted a message to say that the world is about to end with immediate effect
Since Feral is Darn Under it will end 9 hours before it does in the UK. Sorry Feral, but that's life.
What would you do in the 9 hours remaining? - keep it clean, children may be watching

Well, if Feral posted it, since I'm not on here 24/7, by the time I read it I'd just about have time to post "Goodb....."

[Tripmeup]

Borrow next door neighbour's gun and shoot the badgers which dig up my lawn.


:-)

Borrow the neighbours wife Ah only messin (sorry VC!!)
I guess as Feral says we need to consider who/what is most important to us, and what we want to do with them/it in the remaining hours....
Family for me.....with good food and wine and of course, a few creamy pints of Guinness

Finally, woudl ye all leave the greenhouse door open or shut
Just wondering

[Feral007]

Well I don't have a GH - but the aussie version? If it was summer I'd definately water the plants whilst having a glass of wine, with the kids and dogs, and the girl child would be out in the paddokc hugging the horses. I'd like to order a sunset to go tho.

[veggiechicken]

I'd like to order a sunset to go tho.

Is that an Aussie Cocktail?

[Mikey]

You wouldn't have 9 hours Feral, a couple of minutes at most, just enough time to let us all know, that we have 9 hours left.

I think I'd rather go a different way, I certainly don't want 9 hours notice, scrap that idea Feral, if you're not on line for 9 hours then we can all panic, so stay there and don't move then we'll all know we are safe!

[Feral007]

Haha, I'll have a sunset to go (no it's not a cocktail VC) I'll have the glass of red in one hand the hose in the other, instruct one of the kids to announce the news, and those of you who don't want to know....

Yes, staying offline for 9 hours is a bit extreme for me
