Im seeing two possibilities here

1) use bloody big bulldozer to clear cars off the roads

2) use bloody big bulldozer to clear a dirt track in a quarry or something, and go hooning in a stock-car

Raid a big army base for fun stuff

Blow up a skyscraper

Raid a few choice homes for awesome photos

Steal a super yacht

Drive an F16 to my house

Collect a lot of guns

Raid the local Ferrari and Lamborghini garage

See how fast I can make the city from my house in an Aventador- 42kms I'm thinking 10mins or so

See if I can get a 767 to even start

Steal the Mona Lisa, JFK files, Crown Jewels, Da Vinci's notebook from Bill Gates library, raid the Sultan of Brunei's garage etc

I'd be Peter Ustinov in Logan's Run.

Either that or beat myself to death.

The definition of 'to steal' is to intend to permanently deprive the owner of his property. You can't steal stuff if nobody owns it.

Why 'steal' it anyway? You essentially have free reign over every single building on Earth. In effect, you own everything in the world. Why drag all your loot back to your hideout? Why not just leave it where it is, and go, and see it when you want?

Oh, and you're going to need to learn how to sail, or at least navigate at sea if you want to get to all those places and you can't fly.

As already stated, it'd be incredibly depressing. It would also be important to carry some means of ending it quickly if I ended up stuck down a deep hole/trapped in a car injured/stranded at sea, etc

Supposing the means of ending it didn't work.

You might be horribly disfigured - even uglier than you are now, possibly.

Supposing you lost the use of your legs. You would have to crawl everywhere.

I mean, you think your life now is bad, it could get even worse.

No. It's no good, you will have to think of something else.

I think would turn my stereo up.

And give some serious thought to what I could actually kill and eat myself, and how, given my starting point of "I've got some M&S cutlery and a garlic press".

I'd steal a speed camera van and run in past a speed camera whilst speeding.

The world may end if I did this.

I would go to egypt so I could enjoy the coral reefs every day, plenty to see, plenty to do, plenty to eat. No worries about someone shouting Allah Akbar
I would go somewhere else more tropical but id need to get across an ocean. I could drive to egypt

Your house is on a runway? WTjollyF?

Just a thought...

If I'm the only person in the world, who's going to make my toilet rolls?

There was a novel on this subject, The Stand by Stephen King.

After mentally accepting that he was the last person on earth, he discovered there was someone else alive, and they were out to get him.

I've just bought it based on your synopsis. Don't let me down, I'd hate to have wasted £2.99!

It was the first Stephen King book that I read, picked it up at the airport 30 odd years ago. You won't be disappointed. Quite powerful in parts.

I saw a New Zealand movie about the last man in the world. He ended up going around dressed in a women's nightie.

My house is a straight one road 20kms from the primary RAAF base here in Western Australia. I wouldn't know how to take off in the bloody thing but reckon I could power it up and get moving on the ground. You know, just for sts and giggles.

WTjollyF..? I thought you worry the kangaroos. Or am I getting confused with sheep?

I would go around the bookshops and libraries gathering and reading everything I could find on subsistence farming.

Then, given that I'm assuming there will be no electricity and petrol has a finite shelf life, I would gather tools and seeds and fertiliser from nearby farmer's merchants. I would then, before the fuel goes off (probably two or three years post the 'event' that caused all this), load everything up into a suitable, self-maintainable 4x4 (e.g. land rover) and head to somewhere in the western isles, skye or maybe just the scottish borders, depending on how difficult the journey was. I would then get my homestead set up using the remaining fuel in the 4x4 and whatever fuel-driven tools I'd taken with me, before they stop working. I would hope for a couple of seasons with mechanical assistance before returning to pre-industrialised life.

I would settle in for the long haul. Collecting food and fuel in the summers and sitting it out in the winters. In a croft. By myself. With beauty and bleakness to stare upon. I would be working too hard and be too tired to worry about being bored. I'm in my forties now. If I'm lucky, I'd make it to my mid-fifties...

I think, if you went somewhere with a bit of sunshine, your crops might do better

I seem to recall that Western Isles crofters struggled every day until they were driven out by the lairds.
