Is that a football slogan, or a proper call to arms?

more a call to arm

Ooh, Dragon's Den idea right there, a Swiss Army knife with blade, spoon, screwdriver and AR-51 attachments.

doesn't have spoon but has attachments for your ar15 / m4

But does it have the bit for taking Boy Scouts out of horses' hooves?

yes

ar-15 attachments might be more useful

Every post-apocalyptic base needs a decent condenser mike for summoning uninfected settlers.

Will check my lease agreement

Legally it doesn't matter what your lease agreement says, unless the chickens actually constitute a health hazard (like keeping them indoors) then you're allowed to have them. Same goes for rabbits.

I didn't know Brexit was responsible for the heavy rain we've been experiencing.

Pestilence is one of the 10 biblical plagues so I suspect there is more than one of the TV evangelists blaming them for CoVID-19

We have suffered the pestilence of government since biblical times

When do we start again?

When do we start again?

I'm thinking November, so stuff will have a decent shelf life, but get in before the Christmas rush.

I still have some of mine. Have been doing stock rotation with some of it, but will have to check the rest.

When do we start again?

Two weeks ago.

 

[Badgers]

November sounds like a plan Maggot or is that what THEY want you to think?

Did Ocado fob you off with their old stock of Waitrose Cynaide pills, or did you get the new M&S/remarksable ones?

Does this mean people are protecting against another possible lockdown or brexit or simply getting ready for Christmas?

What about a zombie killing axe? you can probably pick one up in the central aisle at Aldi's

 

[MickiQ]

We've kept a rolling stock of hoarded stuff even since the first and second non-Brexit Days and carried on through the (first) lockdown. Hoarding has become second nature now.

At the start of The Panic Buying I picked up a freezer on Freecycle to, you know, "stock up".

The freezer's now full to the brim. I haven't actually used anything from it; I just kept feeding it more and more.

Anyone want a 36 pack of frozen pita bread?

Will be getting loads of mackerel and sardines, pasta and tinned toms on my next payday. Plus a load of olive oil, as there are doubts over the amount which will be produced this year

I am well tooled up for that sort of thing also they will pick off the weak neighbours in the ground floor flats first. I will grease the staircase and hallways with lard.

This is great good sense and, from experience, (if income allows), i recommend paying the extra 5p/tin for fine chopped, tinned tomatoes. Less likely to be out of stock and make a very nice sauce quickly (less gas/lecky used).

A rag on a stick will suffice
