    Doom Supplies

    My mrs wants to fill our shed up with food tin cans, a small electric generator, candles, gas canisters and stove, etc..

    is she paranoid and been watching too much TV or has everyone else done this too?

      Maybe she has had enough of you and is moving into the shed?

      Or perhaps she just wants to go camping.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Collapse of the financial system, widespread panic food buying, lack of simple resources (food, energy, etc)
        coupled with Natural disaster disrupting food supply chain, falling crop yields, etc..

        she may have a point, long term....

            Having lived in a hurricane prone part of the world, it is standard practise to stock up with tinned food, etc (your basic survival stuff) during the summer months.

            A couple of weeks ago I realised that this year I had done it in the UK. Every time I've been shopping I've bought the extra tin or two, or something for if the lights go out.

            I know I'm fracking crackers. My sub-conscious is either aticipating doom, or it may be I'm just pining for the tropics.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              You know...i think that just because we havent had any problems on UK shores for many years, we shouldnt be complacent. Im going to stock up...

                  My missus has loads of tins of peaches at the back of the cupboard, although we never eat tinned peaches.

                  And yet, the fridge is devoid of ham.

                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
