Thousands and thousands of lacy knickers just waiting to be lifted from the rails... nighties, bras and leatherwear a-plenty and no need to embarrass yourself by speaking to a shop assistant first. A resourceful woman could wear a brand new pair of silky knickers every day and never have to even think about a washing machine or an iron. Utopia for any woman, surely?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-25161470023967296772008-11-26T19:41:00.000+01:002008-11-26T19:41:00.000+01:00look you have some great ideas, the problem surely...look you have some great ideas, the problem surely is that the women would all top themselves as soon as they realized they would have to wear dirty smelly underwear and not shower much or use all their scented lotions. Because the days when ladies went to bathe in streams or handwashed their smalls on one of them washboards are gone, long gone. So it would be all these men buggering about but without the women to show off to about how you can make a house out of old incontience diapers etc..a pretty dire state of affairs methinksMommyHeadachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924035710478459520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-42728543959363526632008-11-26T13:45:00.000+01:002008-11-26T13:45:00.000+01:00*chuckles**chuckles*Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190578784452773984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-6560876199648790042008-11-26T13:34:00.000+01:002008-11-26T13:34:00.000+01:00Daisy, it's a well known psychological fact that c...Daisy, it's a well known psychological fact that close encounters with death and destruction are great aphrodisiacs... that's why I always embark on serial killing sprees on a Friday night (something for the weekend)...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-10023949949113101082008-11-26T13:26:00.000+01:002008-11-26T13:26:00.000+01:00steve...those pants are down right sexy...don't kn...steve...those pants are down right sexy...don't know that karen wouldn't just rip them right off...perhaps that should be your first stop :)Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190578784452773984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-59519878849563261282008-11-26T13:14:00.000+01:002008-11-26T13:14:00.000+01:00True Brother T and soiled loo paper would be great...True Brother T and soiled loo paper would be great for composting. Keep my vegetables in good supply: loads of potatoes and carrots for when I'm entertaining the peasantry from the valleys or rival King-lets.<BR/><BR/>Hi Daisy, yes you're possibly right. A quick visit to the nearest army base should put some serious hardware into my grasp. Machine guns, bazookas, the occasional tank or two. I could get a pair of those black trousers with the red stripe down the side.

A Cold War child like you, I started to write the obligatory book on a post apocolyptic theme, with a similar hit list to you - only it involved landrovers (learned to drive in those), sailing boats (could do that too) and an uninhabited Hebridean island full of sheep (not telling you; it's still my fall back plan). I also once rebuilt a ruined 'blackhouse', with drystone walling and reed thatch, so felt particularly well equipped.<BR/><BR/>My son confided the other day that he too has this fantasy...depressingly involving the survival of no one 'old' (eg, over 20). I think it is a timeless, universal urge, faced with council tax and mortgages and dehumanising jobs, to escape to the simplicity of a life which is under our control.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you should add loo paper to your list.Brother Tobiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298549883526952305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-91665540074438478922008-11-25T18:09:00.000+01:002008-11-25T18:09:00.000+01:00Damn!

My child-bearing days are over so I couldn't assist with creating your dynasty but I make a very tasty chicken casserole! If I could get the adoption papers signed, I'd bring Merlin.<BR/><BR/>Really enjoyed episode 1 of Survivors - reminiscent of '28 Days Later' without the gore. It's thought-provoking - I can't wait for episode 2 this evening!Annie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703057351436504483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-53839236290932660372008-11-25T15:34:00.000+01:002008-11-25T15:34:00.000+01:00Oh I love these adventures too - they are really t...Oh I love these adventures too - they are really the only sort of things that captivate me other than fugitive/escape from prison type films and I guess they are much of the same ilk. <BR/><BR/>I actually watched this - yes, don't fall off your chair, I actually watched (and stayed awake for) a television programme.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I did the "what if" thing too. I did wonder about glasses, Steve. So many people wear them and would be crippled without them, that I think you should also raid a branch of Specsavers and save some specs for future use. YOu wouldn't be a successful hunter if you couldn't even find your gun let alone your prey. <BR/><BR/>I have to say that I would take the opposite approach - take nothing much, head for the country (we had a spring next to our house in Wales) and just survive the best I could with the basics. My first priority I suppose would be to learn to make something alcoholic. <BR/><BR/>I guess for me the "fun" would be in starting again, not in trying to reconstruct what I had before!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
