Will the Earth Die Screaming

With President Trump and President Putin looking to be playing chicken with the nuclear button, I am in need of a sizeable lottery win to save myself. The world is crazier than ever now Russia and the  USA are having words over Syria a country willing to gas its own people. 

I will go to bed tonight wondering if I will wake up in the morning with Cardiff on the Russian target list. There was an app doing the rounds last week showing what if Cardiff was nuked and it showed me I was living in the you are dead zone.

While sitting watch the news I see Trump is telling the world via Twitter

Yes I follow him mainly to get the news he press the button because you know he will.

Why a lottery win? To build a nuclear bunker what else. If the missiles were to fly us average joes will have little chance of survival while a few will survive deep underground. I remember reading the comic book ‘Protect and Survive’ back in the eighties then it was ridiculous and today a joke.

UK Government idea for a bunket

So in hope of that lottery win, I have been shopping around for a suitable product but I have not found it has easy as I thought. Most of them are access via ladders not very practicable with a wheelchair bound wife so a lift would be needed or a ground level bunker, which would be less secure. I would prefer the idea of being deep down into the earth, safety and easy to hide the entrance for those who may be looking to survive themselves.

I would have to look into the above ground nuclear shelter market not the best prospect on safety grounds and my search has not been to successful. I would not want to advise the presents of my bunker. Above ground, I might as well put a ruddy great sign above it “Nuclear Bunker …. Come one and all”

I have an idea so maybe it will work but still I have to wait on that nice big Lottery win. It could be me tonight the Euro Lottery is paying out to the winner £71million.

My Nuclear home?

Back to ‘Protect and Survive’ they idea for a bunker come protection is laughable. Build a protected refuge in your fall-out room out of old doors, tables etc. protected with boxes and bags filled with earth, sand etc. Cupboards under stairs are ideal the booklet tells you.

Lucky with have a cupboard under the stairs but I can see us all fitting in there. The booklet tells you to stay there for fourteen days with food, water, and plans of disposing of food and toilet waste. God it does not sound an attractive proposition.
