:roll:  :roll: Remember the Milenium Bug scare?

Evilgoat:
I made £8k for a nights work.

None of us wanted to work so they kept upping the ante. Despite us telling them that no-one NEEDED to be there.

kizz81:
i would go down to the indian have a vindaloo to keep me warm then steal all of there veggie oil from up stairs ( they always seem to keep 12 barrels) then fill my cool box full of ice beer bacon and egg with tomato sauce butter and bread and go sit up on the big hill overlooking the town with my air rifle set up bbq and deck chair on top of my 200tdi 90 and watch the events unfold then i would go steal some police sirens and lights and handcuffs and arrest random people then go back up to my hill and get in sleeping bag and sit there  in landy with heater on listening to the aleans communicate through the CB radio
i blame it on china :lol:

Evilgoat:
Kizz - CB was going out 2 hours ago :)

So where are we now?...

Well the ligt show in the skies will be pretty. I wouldnt say it'd be that bad, Tesco would be having a hard time by now. Most satelites will be out although GPS will be gtting distinctly wobbly by now.

Plane crash would have probobly been down to problems with navigation/radios.

Radio will be starting to suffer about now, interference becoomming noticable and lots of misc problems starting to show. Changes in the outer layer of the atmosphere are stating to affect very low orbit satelites.

Some will have decided this will be as bad as it gets and decided to ride it out, others are still stockpiling and preparing. Most areas will have their emergency planning teams in place and have those plans active.

Hospitals may start to think about moving ICU patients somewhere safer, I would expect govt warnings to be in circulation in the papers too. Reccomendations are going to be for people to stay put, warnings about air traffic being curtailed and vehiclar movement suffering the same fate. Lots of reassuring talk about it all. The Utilities assure us that their derv/gas backup pumps will keep things going. Larger companies will probobly still be trying to get ready.

The internet would be suffering by now as would the telephone networks as equipment is now being shut down and the first storm causes failures and issues. Its becomming obvious that those off the grid are staying that way for a while.

Forecourt fuel supplies are under pressure and tankers arent able to keep up. Stock levels in stores are running dangerously low with staples almost if not exhausted. Getting hold of Gas bottles if becomming hard and places like Towsure are taking a pummeling. 12v gear is being purchased in large amounts as are engine generators.

TV wise, the service is going to be reduced, outside feeds being realyed by microwave which in itself may be suffering or worse IP telephony over already congested networks. Each operator has suffered a service outage of someking by now with mobiles being unreliable.

Communications via radio are suffering but as night has fallen its easing off a bit. The US is dealing with the problems we've been having. There have been 'flashovers' of violnce in some areas and the cults are having a feild day.

The roads have quetened although things did get a bit hecktic earlier, the increased number of accidents over a normal friday have been cleared and police & A&E staff are breathing easy again. There'll be more incidents tonight than normal though.

Some of you guys with Rover Alarms might wake up to flat batteries tomorrow as will a few other manufactureres. All in all it seems to be a storm in a teacup.

Theres been a few more odd accidents since earlier too, a guy getting a belt off of his telephone, your VCR needed to be reset when you got in and maybe your cumpter seems to be having a bad day.

Internet wise, things are slow and you'll find a lot of sites gone or showing holding pages as expendable kit is left running. Mud-club is probobly still here but slow, and I'm guessing it'll be BUSY :)

rollazuki:
For myself Id log onto Mud-Club, check out the Discovery section, and see if that fella ever got the 37's fitted to his Disco.
If they aint done by then Id guess they were never gonna happen and the thread really was BS.





Rolla :wink:
