The Albanians in the flats opposite will have killed, dressed and eaten you before you've realised the telly isn't working any more.

Don't sweat it. If it happens, you're buggered.

Just pray it's quick.

I believe it's all this shtf people who would probably prevent any measure to maintain/re-establish society.

then again, it seems to me very unlikely that this will happen in a future that is close enough that make any provisions actually relevant.

They'd be the first to die, in their eagerness to live like savages without the benefit of culture and experience that savages share, wherever in the world they live.

die as in shot to the face by cops, or die as in get eaten by a lion?

Die as in freeze to death in the woods.

We do not watch or even have a TV anymore

And this is the root of your problems - you've been thinking too much. Get a TV and get your brains sucked out. Please...

I'm going to Zuger's place. He's stockpiling dogs for food. Wicked.

The rest of us decided that the hard part about coping with the meltdown is getting together and figuring out how to work together effectively.

So we agreed to come round to your place, barbecue you and your gerbil, and talk things over in a civilised fashion over the meal.

That means we're sorted, and your worries are over. So everyone can relax.

Result!

I'll bring the cheap swiss wine and the lucia buns! I'll pass on the gerbil though.

The gerbilburger is for LiB, it's like post-armageddon KFC.

That all sounds very jolly, but if there is a meltdown how would you communicate, no EF, no mobiles and I'm quite a distance from you...

Why don't you give yourself a head start and come and meet your meal, you may after all not be able to stomach what you find ???

Hey Onei.... chill !
We're all friends here, and it's all in good humour
If you've got an issue, wrap your mind around it and keep movin'
Here, you'll find nice people just relaxing for a laugh and a smile.

Shit will definitely hit the fan! It is a question of when rather than if.

When shit hits the fan I would like to have a gun handy so I could live few weeks longer. Knowing that all Swiss are militarily well trained and have access to automatic weapon makes me squeeze my butt cheeks.

Something is brewing in Europe and as a black man I can smell it. Hatred of non Europeans is on the rise. I feel it more than ever.

Would I be allowed to smell it too being a white man?

I want to be the guy with the workshop who makes crazy weapons for the heroes. 'Cept that guy usually dies, just as he finishes the super crazy special weapon that the hero is going to use to finally kill the bad guys- and then the hero loses the crazy special weapon and kills the bad guys with his cunning and skill and somehow he doesn't lose his hearing despite guns being fired 12" from his head and he never sprains his ankle.

Can I be that guy?

You're a guy?

Just don't wear red. The guy in red always gets binned
