I watched that a few nights ago. Probably the 3rd time I've watched it in recent months and if I'm honest that is what helped me form the opinion I'd rather just go in a blaze of glory, or fire. I'd certainly not want to live through a nuclear winter. However, should I survive the world being put back in the stone age on the plus side some of my clothes would possibly be back in fashion.

melthebell Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Lyrics to the Subhumans song "when the bomb drops" from the single "Rats" released in 1984, somehow still feels apt now. Quote When the bomb drops I'll be a bank holiday Everybody happy in their tents and caravans Everybody happy in their ignorance and apathy Nobody realises until Their television breaks down The voices of the people are going unheard But They got nothing to say 'cause they're deaf and dumb Too concerned with money Luxury adultery Complacency and politics and apathy will never mix When the Bomb drops they'll be a 4 minute warning Three minutes of anarchy and one of Blind futility No-one left alive and no chances to survive You've heard it all Before-but I'm telling you once more To forget is to forgive but there's nothing to forget I ain't forgotten how to live and it hasn't happened [yet] They'll drop the bomb for something to do can't remember what it's for But I ain't forgot Hiroshima I ain't forgot the war Edited March 24, 2022 by melthebell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) There is no surviving a nuclear war. The only way to survive is never to have one. MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) has worked for the last 70 years. Trouble is some people have forgotten its power and destruction, and the golden rule. Some stupid people think it is survivable. Let's hope one of them isn't Putin.... Edited March 24, 2022 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim117 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I had a conversation about this with a mate a while back. She’s about 20 years younger than me so never saw the old Protect and Survive leaflets. Remember all that cobblers about propping your doors against a wall and painting your windows white? I mentioned that Bramall Lane was earmarked as an emergency burial site. She looked at me in horror and made me promise on the spot that if I survived and she didn’t not to let her be buried there, she’s a mad Wednesday fan 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
