    Ge

    I find it amusing I live inside his head. That all he ever thinks about is me, in the rooms and on the boards.

     

    Thank god he lives in Mexico and not in the UK because I suspect he would turn up at my house with 34 suitcases and 11 mangy old cats and toothlessly smile at me.

    Nope didn’t understand a word of that. Hopefully, someone will translate it so I can communicate with this illegal alien and find out what he is WHINING about this time.

    Nutter nice word. All your brain deals with as you one yourself :yahoo:

    “Nutter is a nice word.

    You’re a nutter Ge, you must be as you recognise fellow nutters like myself.” ?

    I think you’re being flirted with!

    Ge

    Well in beginning was hacked. Ummm. But moved on. You have not grown up or wiser either, you still hide. You still weak. You still rant on others ideas. I chat here as I like many here. I dont like your comments about me. However, I gave u credit when do on decent statements, or agreed statements in your thoughts. Now now. Go off good boy/girl play in your sand box

    LOL! Still whining on endlessly about her imaginary hacking three years ago,  for the 3745757372th time.

    You were never hacked by anyone on this site Linda, you have no fucking idea how hacking even works. I suggest, you crazy old coot, that you stay off porn sites in the future and then you won’t be “hacked”.

    God almighty, the thought of the toothless 70-year-old Linda flirting with me has made me puke a little bit of vomit in my mouth.

    Do you need a Land Rover to live?

    Im sure land rovers probably have some critical uses somewhere in forestry or agriculture, but JLR is just one example, all car makers are running a limited production due to shortages.

    Do we need cars to live?

    In the modern world, yes.

    We need cars to get to work, lorries and vans to transport goods, ambulences to take people to the hospital, ect.

    Oh God….. where to start on this :scratch:

    Our rail network was built to transport freight not people. Few in the UK who aren’t within 20 miles of railway station. The system was mostly updated to electric over the last 40 years too.  In an emergency main stations will be used for food distribution.

    For those areas outside the rail network military vehicles take over.

    Ambulance’s and fire engines have there own reserves of fuel.

    In the last lockdown: people did work from home.

    If we just cut out none essential goods our roads would empty. Lets say you don’t have a car for example:

    No car mechanics.

    No break down services.

    No fuel stations.

    No car insurant.

    No car manufacturing.

    No demand for materials to built or repair them.

    Less road maintenance.

    And you think to yourself… they cant take all non military vehicles off the road?

    Yes they can.  The plan was design for nuclear attack back in the 80’s.  Since then new cars were design not work if there was an electromagnetic pulse common in nuclear attacks. Government grants towards steam railways weren’t hand out cause some MP’s like trains.  They can be put back into service if necessity.

    And while these day’s we don’t give an nuclear attack a second thought…. the plans made were the corner stone of our covid 19 response.

    That is all very naive Fishy.

    Our rail network was built to transport freight not people. Few in the UK who aren’t within 20 miles of railway station. The system was mostly updated to electric over the last 40 years too. In an emergency main stations will be used for food distribution.

    There wouldn’t be any food to distribute without imports, the UK doesn’t have enough land to feed 80 million people. Even if we somehow magically summoned more land into existance, we would still have to import chemicals to fertalise the land, pesticides, and machinery to farm the crops.

    Ambulance’s and fire engines have there own reserves of fuel.

    Fire engines aren’t much use without a supply of water. There aren’t very many lakes in the middle of cities (where most people live). The water supply depends on all kinds of other infrastructure to function at it’s current capacity. You can’t just shut them down.

    If we just cut out none essential goods our roads would empty. Lets say you don’t have a car for example: No car mechanics. No break down services. No fuel stations. No car insurant. No car manufacturing. No demand for materials to built or repair them. Less road maintenance.

    Theres pretty much no such thing as a non-essential good.

    You spoke earlier about ambulences and fire engines, how are these able to run without mechanics or parts to maintain and repair them? :wacko:

    Government grants towards steam railways weren’t hand out cause some MP’s like trains. They can be put back into service if necessity.

    How many people are alive that know how to operate and maintain steam trains?

    Even if for some reason it was a good idea to use steam trains (I have no idea why you would use them over diesel???), they aren’t magical. They need water and coal to run.

    It would be illegal to increase coal production under th Paris Accords, but even if we ignored that (which the government wouldn’t do) then you can’t mine anything without machinery. You aren’t going to convince modern 20 year olds to go into a mine with a pickaxe, this just won’t happen.

    And while these day’s we don’t give an nuclear attack a second thought…. the plans made were the corner stone of our covid 19 response.

    Probably because it would destroy so much infrastructure that we would have to rebuild everything from scratch anyway. Theres not much point.

    I’m pretty sure we can’t even black start the national grid, because it depends on so much other infrastruture that itself requires the electrical grid to be online.

    That’s part of the reason why we trade electricity with other nations. I imagine in particular that France’s nuclear reactors would be very important in stabalising the voltage on the national grid if this kind of apocalyptic scenario ever happened.

    You seem blissfully out of date  :whistle:

    Using hydroponics, Humber  grow cumbers  and Kent grows tomatoes.   In  main cites they grow cannabis.  Its not 1939 and we can grow food anywhere these days.  In vitro fertilization means we’re no long depend randy bull in a field.

    The only reason the UK food production is down was due to EU quoters.

    Waters not really an issue.  Most places where built on springs or streams that have since been piped and covered up.  Temporary wells only take a short time to reach the water table.

    Steam trains can run on wood or coal.  A simple design, easy to fix and learn to use. The Paris Accords wont apply if we ever need reactive steam trains.

    The national grid is more robust than you think.  The UK’s hydro, wind, solar and nuclear systems  meet our needs.  Like the rest of the world the UK over produces electricity and trades.

    The plan is design to work with 100,000 people around the UK.

    For the UK to activate this plan things need to end of the world bad.  With millions dead or dying costs and accords become irrelevant…. its a battle for survival.
