A large transporter truck with a tank and enough RPG's and ammunition to destroy a small city on the back, first port of call would be out to a good sized airport for some target practice on idle commercial aircraft, before heading into central London for some carnage. Buckingham palace would be levelled and i would set fire to the shard just for the sheer hell of it.

Once I've had my fill in London it's through the channel onto the continent to continue my adventure before I ultimately admit that my existence is pointless and shoot myself.

So, vandalism then?

[Quickmoose]

Would it be vandalism is there were no-one to witness it/complain?

I'd actually be really fascinated to find out why I'm the only one left...
Wouldn't there be an old bloke living in the Andes, or an Inuit, or Aboriginal left to get rid of?
Or hopefully some attractive lady who had, up until the moment I found her, been kept against her will in a basement...

Hell yeah! I would completely trash the place, why not? And who is going to stop me?

The idea here is to do the things you can't do in your current mundane existence due to pesky interference from police, wives and other humans as well as lack of cash. If I didn't know I was the only person I would set several huge fires to try and get attention, so the shard fire would be beneficial not just mindless arson.

do all the normal stuff, fast cars etc.

but i'd also find books on farming, fixing stuff etc.

depending on when it happened, you might be able to drive through the train part of the channel tunnel, if the trains are asleep for the night and everyone goes, then it's just a train tunnel, it would have to be something meaty to deal with the tracks, sleepers etc, but i suspect it could be done.

i'd also head south and set-up shop somewhere with sunlight and try and set-up solar panels.

i'd also learn to drive left hand drive cars.

think i'd have a couple of dogs, just in case. i think i'd have freed other animals, no need to let them just die of starvation.

having watched a documentary on ch4 about this a while back, after a while the 4x4s would be a better bet than a super car.

If your over 6ft it will be very uncomfortable and if you have back issues these will be hard to twist your body in and out of the cab.

I'd probably wander about for a while, visiting a few places I always wanted to see. Then I would die from a mild and currently easily curable disease or infection

Raid the nearest pharmacy and stock up.

No, you don't get this...all the women are dead.

I knew you could drive the tunnel! so getting something to cope with the tracks wouldn't be so much of an issue. width restrictions will be tho so trucks/tanks are limited to the actual tracks

Assume command of all 4x4 response groups and bestow the title of gold command upon myself.
Then spend the rest of my days sleeping with one eye on the phone. Just in case.

I think you'd struggle. Remember, you're the last person on Earth. Therefore, there would be nobody around to teach you.

You could avoid the problem by only driving a McLaren F1, or BAC Mono.

If I woke up tomorrow and was the last person on earth, well firstly I'd search the place to make sure it wasn't some sort of elaborate hoax or reality TV.
Then once I'd established that it was actually happening I'd have a good long panic.

Then once I'd calmed down I'd see how far lifeboats will actually go from an oil rig, and if I needed to load a lot of extra fuel to try and make land.

After that? I dunno. Travel about the place looking for people I suppose, or set myself up somewhere nice and fire off large flares at night in case people might be looking for me.
I'm perfectly happy being by myself but I don't think that would last forever.

I'd give my survival time to be up to a year or so before I got bored or complacent.

[amancalledrob]

The psychological effects would be interesting to say the least - I wonder how long most of us would last before becoming convinced we were god incarnate and trying to fly

[Quickmoose]

The way my life is going, I'm halfway there and really looking forward to finding out.

First port of call for destruction, Stamford Bridge, Old Traford, Emirates and Stadium of Light. I may leave the UK, travel to America, break in and nuke them whilst watching with satisfaction via satellite. I accept I cannot return to the UK having made it a nuclear wasteland but why stay here anyway.

How do you travel to America ?
