Innit tho, blud.

I AM a weapon. Also, it's fudge cake. Look..

Salvation! Can I join? I won't be any trouble, I promise. Plus I have cake.

Returning to the topic a bit more, I'd say the UK is princely positioned as a place you'd both have to get out of and get warning to do so. If it ever came to it, US sites would be top of the list for being hit. There is a huge amount of targets, infrastructure, etc to destroy there. Nobody, not even Russia would be focused on doing that AND hitting other countries in parallel. Hence the moment Russia/other aggressor attacks the US directly (e.g. Russian fighter planes sink a US destroyer in the Med) or the other way round, I'm immediately driving to North Norway. I'd bet there would be at least 24h to get out before strikes come to the UK. More likely a week. You're being extremely optimistic. If things escalated that fast, all borders would be closed and flights grounded. Again, people seem to think nuclear war is an inconvenience rather than the end of times. You'll never escape the after effects of global nuclear war mate, lol. Not even in North Norway. Or do you have a fallout shelter there and a thriving underground eco system so you're not effected by the following nuclear winter? I don't think anyone's read my previous posts describing nuclear war lol. This is just ONE example of the effects of a nuclear winter, and not even using all the nukes we have in the world... "A global average surface cooling of –7 °C to –8 °C persists for years, and after a decade the cooling is still –4 °C (Fig. 2). Considering that the global average cooling at the depth of the last ice age 18,000 yr ago was about –5 °C, this would be a climate change unprecedented in speed and amplitude in the history of the human race. The temperature changes are largest over land … Cooling of more than –20 °C occurs over large areas of North America and of more than –30 °C over much of Eurasia, including all agricultural regions" No light, no warmth, massive ozone depletion, so on and so on. You can't 'hide' from essentially, the destruction of our entire planet. Are you going to go it alone and flourish after the nuclear winter abates some 20 years post war? Will you pop to the local shop now and then for some milk and bread and a newspaper? Lol. Like I said, it's funny, people think "I'll be ok, I'd just go (insert location) and just wait. I've seen all Bear Grylls episodes" I can escape the end of civilisation!!

I've mentioned quite a few times about a game called DEFCON but no one seems interested in playing it with me online because it's not got state of the art "wow!" graphics. A very fun, addictive, strategic and tense game. Demo is free and has all the options the full game has, apart from the fact you get more subs, silos and air bases. Download the demo here - it's only 56mb. https://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/downloads/

Also if I remember rightly, Cheyenne mountain has been mothballed?

Yeah I was going to say. Defcon 5 is total peace time lol. It's been at 3 for ages!! Defcon. DEFence CONdition status. I think "Readiness" is in the middle if I remember correctly.

When I was 21, I was driving around in America on my own. First full day and night drive, I was in the middle of the Mojave desert in a huge storm. No lights on the road. No other cars. No radio stations. Not even static. Until the emergency broadcast sound came on. They test it daily there. Poo came out of me. It sounds like this over there (excluding the voices bit)

Hot stone massages are great Go to the Moat House Spa at Ruthin Castle in Wales. Treat your Mrs. And yourself. Trust me.

I'd have a go with it on before hand. Practice lap lol. I'll shelve the idea and just use the Syvecs traction control.

The weight of the engine does that and the air hitting the front of the car. The bumper does create a bit of downforce and the engine weight helps. The back however just lets air flow off it. The BGW is a precaution to lessen the chance of spinning out. I've been watching many videos and it happens a lot.

The news segment was just setting the scene. The emergency announcement is all we'd see. There definitely wouldn't be a 30 min broadcast announcing impending nuclear war. The news items in the clip would be over a few days with the emergency broadcast being the here and now. Not like "there'll be an emergency message at the end of tonight's news" lol. Just the 4 or so minutes warning. With today's nukes, not many of us would survive the immediate effects such as thermal and kinetic energy. Heat and blast zone. Flying debris etc. We'd mostly just be atomic shadows (created when the heat and light immediately bleaches a concrete wall behind you but an area which your body Sheilds the wall behind you from that extreme light and heat and thus casts a permanent shadow, your shadow, on that wall) The weapons they'd use are so much more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. For a start, they're hydrogen bombs now. Hiroshima was an Atom bomb. Hydrogen bombs are much more nasty. They have self sustaining fusion - fission - fusion explosions. they're essential nuclear bombs that use nuclear detonation to set off a MUCH bigger explosion. Think of throwing a grenade into a massive pile of bigger grenades. So we have weapons in the 10s of Megaton range. That's ten million tons of TNT (dynamite) going off. All over England. The Hiroshima bomb had a yield of I think, 25kt. 25 thousands tons of dynamite. Here's a picture of hiroshima before and after the bomb, shot from the air. Left side is before. Right side is after. Completely annihilated. And ground level.. Nuclear weapons aren't as survivable as the movies like to make out. There no hiding behind a tree or jumping into a wheelie bin at the back of McDonald's. We're not talking about hailstones lol. So, Hiroshima wiped out everything in a 5 mile radius. Are you going to the peak district for a better view of the giant ball of plasma that is your death while you sup a Tetleys with a hot stone massage booked in after dinner at the health spa you've booked while it all blows over? lol I'm being sarcastic. There really isn't going to be anywhere to hide in our densely populated little plot of land on this mud ball in space. All the superheated debris post detonation would create such an immense firestorm with huge winds and temperatures that would just incinerate everything left over. There'd be so much contaminated displaced earth and debris. Practically all of our waterways, lakes, streams, ponds would be so toxic and radioactive. falling soot etc would turn them very acidic never mind the radioactivity. We wouldn't see any sun for a long time. We'd be enduring a nuclear winter. This happens when the earth has itself become a huge fireball with all the fires started over such a large extent of the earth's surface. Debris and ashes would block out the suns rays for a period of time long enough to do irreparable damage to any plant life making it extinct. Wildlife too, would obviously no longer exist. This is England's outlook because we're such a small island. Large continents will obviously have places untouched by initial devastation and a much better chance at escaping the after effects to an extent. So our options are Incineration Death over an extended time due to injuries Death due to radiation poisoning Death due to disease and infection Death due to starvation/thirst Death due to fighting over resources Take your pick lol.

Hello everyone. Would temporarily putting a BGW on my Z be worth it with regards to keeping it planted while I'm at the Nurburgring? Thankyou please.

The Americans have 14 Trident style subs and they always have at least 3 and sometimes as many as 8 on patrol at any time. The Americans also have free fall nukes, the ability to mount nuclear warheads on Tomahawk cruise missiles plus the 450 or so Minuteman missiles in, Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana. Pete They have to get close enough to use those. All short range.

I said in another post, as allies of the US, they have a lot of strategic assets here. Sorry guys. There'll be no packing up the family wagon to go to a 'safe place' for us.

Be no change in Rochdale if nukes landed lol.

There are so many places across the UK that would be attacked. Not just London. 43:05 onwards...

Get a set of smartprice part worn tyres then go test the fun factor.

HKS panel filter, plenum spacer, uprev saw a 27hp gain for me. The way it feels after, the numbers don't reflect the change in the way it drives.

Key members of the gov' would be warned by America as they have SAC/NORAD with their early warning sattelites and I presume that they'd attempt to keep some kind of infrastructure going even if that's just via long range radio communication and sattelite relays in bunkers. They'd be warned instantly as a precaution and make their way to the nearest shelter. We'd be warned when it was absolutely necessary and the danger verified, after they'd made it to the shelters. I presume to avoid chaos getting in their way of escape. I bet there are thousands of people across the UK who have been selected to serve as part of whatever rises out of the ashes after a nuclear war and would be afforded shelter and know exactly where shelter is and recieve early warning, but sworn to absolute highest secrecy.

I don't know if the rest of the UK still has air raid/attack sirens but I remember hearing this a couple of years back because we have them here but it was the first time I heard it. I remember all my neighbours came out to listen, too. Eerie... It's funny how people think they'll have time to flee or escape and to where? Obviously the Russians are far too polite to to drop any pesky nukes while you're en route, right? Or say "Right UK. Get to safety because were about to drop some nasty little bombs and do watch out for the cesium 137 it has a nasty habit of knocking your DNA and cells rather out of kilter!" Between detection time, location of launch, determination of trajectory post booster burn out time, in the UK we'd have about 4 minutes warning. Luckily I have a cellar with 2ft thick stone walls and it's well under surface level. So I'd get my white ass down there. If anyone wants a nice game of chess they can play with me. Or we can play theatre wide global thermonuclear war on steam. Free.

Not far from me. Which one hahaha :-) Heywood.
