Emergency! Emergency! Will you get the alert?

[TopCat]

Chaos and panic later then.

Chaos and panic later then.

The smiths were so prescient

 

[moochedit]

No I mean the government don't need to "know" anything about you to broadcast to all 4 and 5g phones.

ah ok gotcha. Yeah i'm aware they don't need to know peoples phone numbers to do it.

 

[Numbers]

My iOS is below the one required

 

[WouldBe]

That said i'm sure it will surprise some people as some people pay no attention to the news.

Followed by a hugh influx of 999 calls from all the heart attacks.

And panicked "has my phone got a virus?" posts on fb etc.

They don't care about you

 

[Elpenor]

They don't care about you

He’s just a number to them

 

[SpookyFrank]

I've turned them off.

Mrs Frank was all like, you can't do that what if there's an earthquake?

Um, if there's an earthquake, I'll notice.

Only posh phones get the alert cos tory voters innit

We don't get proper earthquakes in uk anyway. Think it's more about putin's nukes not that you could do anything about it

I'm planning on being in the supermarket at 3pm and, when the alarm goes off, screaming very loudly.

Bet that'll be noisy with all the phones in there

A good excuse to do some shoplifting - you can use the excuse that you panicked and didn't realise you were carrying the basket as you fled the shop to seek safety.

 

[maomao]

I'm in a supermarket and would like to see the panic but I don't think I can hang it out nineteen minutes.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Only android phones, so iphone owners will be left to die.

Seems reasonable. They choose the Apple after all.

 

[clicker]

Daughter and bf currently having a stifled, but prolonged row upstairs. I'm hoping the alert will shock them out of it. Only 10 mins to go.

 

[Sasaferrato]

I sit here awaiting the signal. I know it is coming, but when it comes, I'll jump anyway.

That's assuming it does come, and isn't a 'Waiting for Godot' scenario.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

The excitement builds...

Think he was talking about the reading test in 2021 there but apple get this one.

No, the posh folk are those with the overpriced Apple phones, plebs like me have android.

My daughter's iPhone cost over a thousand quid!

 

[Sasaferrato]

The excitement builds...

If I could summon the enthusiasm, I'd pee myself with excitement.

 

[cupid_stunt]

No, I was only joking.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Mine has just come through

 

[cupid_stunt]

If I could summon the enthusiasm, I'd pee myself with excitement.

Well, excitement at your age....

 

[Ax^]

[farmerbarleymow]

That was a bit disappointing.

 

[oryx]

I got it at 14.59

 

[Sasaferrato]

farmerbarleymow Ditto. Changed the ringtone as well.

 

[8ball]
