UK Government urges stockpiling of food & water..

What do you think they're plotting now?

Michael Brown ● 7d22 Comments

Nobody's plotting anything, you dummy: it's a simple and sensible precaution in case the internet goes down for whatever reason and affects supply lines.

Yvonne, did you see that? He called me a dummy..

Michael Brown ● 7d

Ivonne, sorry..

Michael Brown ● 7d

Hello Richard, Do you happen to know why the government is sugesting to stockpile for 3 days?  Why 3 days?

Don’t be so bloody rude Richard.😣

Sue Hammond ● 7d

Sorry?

LCpl Carter'Nobody's plotting anything, you dummy: it's a simple and sensible precaution in case the internet goes down for whatever reason and affects supply lines.'"Don't panic LCpl Carter; don't panic".Capt Burnham and Private Fahnbulleh have every thing under control.I hear they are posting armed guards outside Lidl to prevent looting, that ration books are being printed and we are to recruit more postmen to bypass the internet with hardcopy mail.This wartime spirit is just what we would have expected to be generated by our new PM and will certainly bring the country together.And I hear that Mr Ixer has been conscripted to get the internet up and running if those wicked American internet tycoons can't fix it.

Ms Hammond'Don’t be so bloody rude Richard.😣'That's the style of Mr Knowitall.

Mr Pike'SueRichard is allowed to be rude but dont be beastly to him or else Mrs C will tell you off.'😂

For those that have forgotten.Mr Brown is a well known conspiracy theorist who during covid wrote on here that the vaccine was merely a ploy to get us all injected with a 5g tracking chip.He also believes that 9/11 was an inside job.Oh and that wildfires are started by some sort of space laser.So I think calling him a dummy is acceptable.

Mr Brown may have had some outrageous views in the past but so what, nobody’s perfect.🤪 À la Some Like It Hot - best film ever!

Sue Hammond ● 7d

Very true, we should give him a second chance.Come on Mr Brown, do let us know if you still think the covid vaccine is a ploy to get a 5g tracking chip in us all!

Michael Brigo ● 7d

Some Like It Hot the best film ever? Well, there's something we can agree on, hooray!

Richard Carter ● 7d

My favourite line in the film? When someone asks what happened to Spats Colombo  who's just been gunned down by a man hiding in a cake, he's told "There was something in the cake that disagreed with him."

Richard Carter ● 7d

I am not sure whether 'Some Like it Hot' is the best film ever, but it's still brilliant. My favourite line is when Little Bonaparte says, 'Last year we made a million dollars before taxes, only we don'ta pay no taxes'.

Steven'I am not sure whether 'Some Like it Hot' is the best film ever, but it's still brilliant.'I can't think of a funnier comedy, though the master of bad taste Mel Brooks' 'Blazing Saddles', where a gay, black sheriff is appointed in a typical butch cowboy town comes close.Pre-woke times of course !My favourite line in SLIH is when Jack Lemmon dressed as a woman to escape the mob finally admits to his 'fiancé', stage door johnny Joe E Brown that he is a man, and receives as a reply the film’s exemplary last line, “Well, nobody’s perfect.”

John Hawkes ● 7d

Yes that’s the scene and line I was referring to.  Blazing Saddles is an epitome of bad taste but oh so funny!

They've discovered how dangerous the Just-in-Time lifestyle has become as well as Just-in-Time manufacturing and buying in of goods.  So many people now don't know how to or aren't experienced cooks, don't have any long-life food or the ability to create meals with it in the home and just live off ready-meals in the fridge or home delivered meals!  All are vulnerable to disruption. It is made even worse when you have children who insist on only eating one type of baked beans or fish fingers or pasta sauce.  Once upon a time you were just expected to eat what was put in front of you - and quite honestly that made meals a lot easier to make and children a lot more flexible in what they ate.  Some meals you liked better than others but you certainly didn't have children only eating this or that to the same extent.

Mr BrownHave you or anyone on this Forum read a justification as to why this cataclysmic attitude is being put about by the Government ? A week ago all was fine, or as fine as it has been for the last couple of years.Now it's "put on your tin hat" time, build yourself an Anderson shelter in the garden (difficult if you live like me in a 3rd floor flat) and stock up on tinned pilchards. Or twiglets if you are the PM or Sauvignon Blanc if you are his deputy.Sounds like if you are hankering down in Downing Street it could be quite a jolly affair !

Mr HawkesReading your post, you are possibly experiencing a slight awakening. Welcome news if this is the case..

Michael Brown ● 6d

A 'Russian' cyber attack, knocking out our utilities for a few days must be high on the list... and maybe the cutting of a few cables on the seabed.Get your tinned food in..
