I wouldn't necessarily want to go round shooting stuff for fun but, if we are assuming (and we do seem to be) that whilst all the people have disappeared, the animals haven't, would you need to protect yourself from roaming packs of dogs?

Or is that only something that happens in fiction (unlike the entire premise of this thread wink)?

Kill two birds with one stone then and lay off the sweets.

Two birds with one stone would be a good snack from minimal outlay.

To anyone who said "I'll go overseas", how are you going to get there unless you are a very good channel swimmer?

I think people would soon realise life wasn't really worth living after a few weeks, no one to talk to, no tv, no internet, I suppose you could pass the time away reading books....

There are these things called 'boats'...

Yeah, it'd be spectacularly boring, but how do you know you're the very last person alive?

You'd keep looking surely?
So you would fancy crossing the channel in a small rowing boat with no chance of rescue?

For the purposes of the thread you ARE the last person left, but I suppose there's nothing to stop you looking for another person, but you would be wasting your time.

That was a bit brutal. Can't you let him down gently, FFS..?

There are these things called 'sails' that can help a boat to travel. Some people even use them to sail completely on their own. Some even go quite a long way.

Has anyone mentioned blow-up dolls yet, or are we all going with sheep?
Only MBH.

I worry about him sometimes........
Why does it have to be sheep...

Better smelling breath, friendlier, tighter...? biglaugh
And riddled with STDs
nono

It's a matter of practicality.

Cow/Horse, too high off the ground.

Donkey...liable to kick you in the nads before you've started.

Pig....not a bad choice but they make a hell of a racket, it would be worse than shagging an Essex girl.

Nope it has to be sheep by default.
I dunno, less than 4 days in and we are discussing the practicalities of animal shagging.

This is very worrying!!

Just walk / cycle through the channel tunnel service / fire escape tunnel.

You could write a book. Publish it. Then buy it. It would be a best seller.

You'd have to self-publish, and I've heard it can be hard to make a lot of money that way.

Well, yes, I'll concede that, but that's only of use if you know how to sail, which the vast majority don't, but I guess if you are Ellen MacArthur you would be OK.

I could entertain myself for the rest of my life just trying to survive while looking for someone else and seeing the world. I'd find a way to get across oceans.

Scrawl the epitaph 'I told you those tampons were pointless' on 50hmustang's final resting place.
Until you realize I am standing behind you, admiring the shape of your skull. You thought you was the last man alive? I told you i'd survive, with a box of tampons and my boomstick. No worries mate, the tampoms have applicators.

I think I'd stick kylie in the freezer to save for a special occasion then go travelling using the nice car and yachts left around.
I think i would also have to learn how to fly and have a crack at a military jet.

But mainly kylie.
