Walk !!??? Whats that??

Seriously tho, if stocking up on food also have dog/cat buiscuts as well. The kids will be more concerned about their pets than stuff which adults are dealing with.

Yeah real serious earthquake, streaming news banner on telly last night

yes how rude, splashed right across the subtitles of the movie we were watching.

Last earthquake I felt in Southland was having a pee in toilet at a pub, just thought i'd had one too many

Nervous time huh, a second one could hit, be ready.
Maybe the jolt shocked sense to those frequenting that flash Beehive building to realise the shit ChCh have been through and still suffering and wanting their lives sorted ... maybe not

Take care peeps.

Depends on his contents insurance and what the excess is. As far as i know they've bumped the excess for EQC claims up to $5000 which is one way to cut the number of claims.....and save money.

once you stop laughing or worrying that these nuts are actually out there , there are some good Ideas if you need to go quickly

Along the doomsday scenario idea an interesting read is "One Second After" by Dr William R Forstchen. A sort of diary of the living challenges and social meltdown following an electromagnetic pulse event. Not the best writing style but a real wakeup call regarding the realities of losing the use of what are considered by most to be the necessities of modern life.

HAARP's a new one on me. Another one dreamt up by some retarded conspiracy theorist I guess

The EMP thing is similar to the big solar discharges that are capable of frying everything electronic from cellphones and appliances to aircraft control systems. They can also be caused by nuclear weapons which is what the book is based on. Living without most of our current technology is like being put back 150 years but without the lifeskills folk had back then. Good way of severely crippling an enemy state!
