Thread: Are you stocking up in preparation for a positive Corona pandemic ?

Sage market advice there and you'd be mad to ignore it.

It's the Y2K bug I'm worried about.


It's gonna take out computers, everything electronic, withdraw all your cash now as your accounts will be reset to zero.

Are they bullets, fish? Being an American it would probably strike you as strange to hear me say that I've never even seen a bullet in real life.

This is a small selection of my tinned food supply purchases yesterday.



I also have some tasty home defence hardware, not quite on par with Fish but up there

Bring on the Zombie apocalypse

worry not young padwan, Y2K is solved i did some in 96 for nationwide and Barclays - cobol still sits behind nearly every bank computer platform much like the original windows sits at the root of all the shit we put up with. I can help you on fortran if i get warmed up.

Ronnie Reagan had and lived but I think he was wearing a flack jacket.

BTW we call them shells if for a shotgun. The 7mm are cartridges or "bullets".
We used to get 1200 round cases of the 7.62 / 39 for 100 bucks prior to the Clinton ban. I've an unopened box SKS packed in its original shipping box packed in cosmoline complete with org bandolero, cleaning kit, sholder strap and of course bayonet.
I once hunted deer with one that I had fitted with a scope. Not a bad unit though I now prefer the A-Bolt stainless steel stalker as I have never missed a deer since the upgrade.

The SK would be a better choice during the zombie apocalypse but I'd be grabbing the Bushmaster that what's his name tried to ban.

Peace out....the fish.

As for "slugs" I would launch them with the .....

purchased 15 tins of baked beans during the week and Ive about 200 face masks in the drawer at work (not sure why HR give everyone a pack of 20 everyday).... So Iam good to go, might grab a few ladies off Thaifreindly and stick them in me wardrobe.

Stocking up on things is not a bad idea, even if the zombie apochalipse isn't so bad...

Rumours started over here that toilet paper will run out because it is made from the same material as masks. This was not true, but it caused people to rush out and buy toilet paper. This has now caused a toilet paper shortage and many stores in Tokyo have run out.

seeing as the main advice from the top doctors is hand washing , I thought that extrapolating that to the full body wash would be even better

so I will advocate getting a soapy every hour to ward off the kung flu

if this precaution fails , I shall still die happy

Not really stocking up or worried about some poxy little flu, it's just when these hit the supermarkets here they go quick, so you gotta grab em while you can

As per most medical ailments really.. Just a coincidence but I had my annual blood test done yesterday. All within accepted ranges. PSA was 0.7. Optimum range 0 to 4

I wouldn't fill your freezer unless you have a genny. If everyone goes off sick then electricity workers will be included.

Yeah but the plants are automated... the [at][at][at][at] that shows up to take the meter though, he can die in a fire.

foook-kin luxury!

I'm sending the missus down to the airport to rub up against incoming chinks - maybe she'll be able to cough up something solid and c-virusy for dinner in a few days...

I might buy an extra packet of chocolate chip cookies.

Just in case it rains, and I don’t fancy going out. Sigh.
