How bad COULD it get ?
Discussion
Just wondering really.
In my relatively short life, I've seen a few wars (Falklands / Gulf etc...), Terrorism (IRA / AL.Q), Natural disasters (Tsunami / Katrina) and things like that.
There are other [i]threats[/i] looming. I.E: Bird Flu and dare I say, a Fuel Protest.
Partly due to living in the UK, the above things have never really caused me too much trouble, as is the case for the majority of PH'ers, I would think.
But, :scratchchin: I wonder how bad could things really get, here in the UK.
Is it out of the realms of possibility that we, aswell as other parts of the world could end up being in a real 'plague' like situation with bird flu? Are we prepared for this threat, or is there no threat at all?
Are we really prepared for terrorism on a scale never witnessed before, I mean 9/11 but bigger, in many different situations/locations?
Are we miscalculating oil supplies and on the verge of drying our most treasured commodity for good?
Are scientists miscalculating incoming rocks and meteors from space. That would shake things up a bit.
This may sound a bit of a morbid post.
Are we heading for the [i][b]Real Doomsday?[/i][/b]

All true of course....But glass half empty kinda thinking....What about the really good bits..............Er......Erm.......There was....Err.......Anyone??
Its not really half glass thinking, I'm not like that. I'm optimistic that I'll live a long, happy life.
I just wonder........
Erm well the civil service have planned for everything but the plans are crap and won't work because the people who did the planning were and are total tossers.
Yes its definately going to get really bad really soon cos the UK is under the misaprehension that its regarded by the rest of the world as important.
There is more oil in the tar sands of Canada than has yet been extracted from the planet.
Once house prices fall a bit more Blair is finished and so is New Labia

Just relax mate, look at the movies, meteors, volacanoes, tidal waves, aliens, they only ever seem to hit America, rather good for the rest of us I say.
People get abducted in Norfolk
how does anyone know?
I think he means they drink too much cider, get buggered, wake up with a sore behind, and claim they were abducted by aliens that "did unatural things to I"

If you were a terrorist and you wanted to cause maximum death, destruction and well terror what would you do?
If you just wanted to disrupt 1,000's of people, Knock out London Bridge, it then stops traing geting to Cannon Street, Waterloo East & Charring cross.
I wouldnt like to be working in Canary Wharf
