Richard (OldStager) Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 just a bit of fun, but what you do given the following info... as in react, behave or just hide under the bed... nasa and the rest of the science community have just announced there is an asteroid headed for earth , it was spotted 12 months ago, but it's course could not be calculated that far out, finally with 6 months to go more info started coming in, it was only with 1 month to go did they confirm that it will hit the earth . with only 4 weeks to go, no space craft or defence system could be constructed to divert the asteroid, governments can't help and have no sensible suggestions. so you have 28 days to do all the things you have wanted to do what would that be....

corsechris Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Quickly figure out the least painful way to top myself so as to avoid the ensuing 28 days of total madness that would follow the announcement. In an ideal world, I’d get myself to a nice quiet tropical island and just chill while waiting peacefully for the end as it would be good to see it happen. Doubt that would be possible though.

Commit as many bank robberies as I could and build up a huge stash of cash and as NASA has been wrong before, do it while wearing a @Blatman mask in case the asteroid misses. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'd post some pictures of the asteroid on the forum. Assuming its fixed by then. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIY-Si Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Have you been watching Don't Look Up? I'd probably run off with the family to somewhere sunny to watch the end of the world, whilst sipping as much beer as I can lay my hands on. Or, spend the next 28 days living my dream of being a gangster, robbing every financial establishment and PO van I can, whilst looking very sauve and dashing.

It's a Netflix film on very much this subject, where a bunch of astrophysicists find an incoming world killer asteroid only for the US government to ignore it.....

Richard (OldStager) Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 i'd do that at the 12 month notice, as it seems they takes ages to do anything at that place.😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Read 'On the Beach' the novel by Nevil Shute. Australia is one of the last countries to be destroyed by creeping nuclear fallout and they use the last few gallons of petrol to have a last motor race. Much fornication too, no doubt, but those were more discreet times and it wasn't mentioned. The film isn't bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
