Well I'll be usein' lead 'co if it's conreate I won't ave enough space fer an 'art shaped bed an' that to enitice the ladyzz in.
Several of the Royal Observation Corps nuclear war observation bunkers are currently up for sale starting at a measly £3k. Not the nicest of places to live but, hey you never know when you might need one...

unfortuneatly if the end comes and all men above ground are killed, society will have to restart on a philosophy built on paranoid men in parkas ranting about how goblins are stealing their thoughts and frosty jacks and tennents lager will be the only food stuffs available !!!
It’s the end of the world as we know it. But you’ll be fine. That’s the implicit message of the Luxury Survival Condo, which offers a “life assurance” policy to those who can afford it.
That policy comes in the form of a living unit in a decommissioned Kansas missile silo, along with survival training (mandatory), a five-year food supply per occupant, two floors of hydroponic gardens and an aquaculture system to farm fish, a swimming pool, an indoor shooting range, a dog “park”, a gym, a game arcade and a “minor surgery centre”, among other features.
It’s all encased in up to nearly three metres of special concrete, a “nuclear-hardened” space that plunges 14 stories underground ...

Ronnor said:I was born in the early 80s and remember when I was around 10 or 11 my mum casually mentioned that her plan for when (not if) the balloon went up was to drive me and my sister out into the countryside and wait to be vapourised. I was - and remain - absolutely horrified by the idea. Many childhood nightmares were induced by this ill-advised revelation.
Have they watched ‘Threads’…? I really don’t want to survive thanks, if the fallout doesn’t kill you slowly and painfully then something else will, the aftermath would be like living in Hell unless you were on some remote islandTime to invest in a new nuclear war shelter.
IN A FLASH, a nuclear warhead unleashes the destructive power of hundreds of kilotons of TNT. The resulting inferno, and the blast wave that follows, instantly kill people directly in their path. But a new study finds that some people two to seven miles away could survive—if they’re lucky enough to find just the right kind of shelter.
Dimitris Drikakis, a fluid dynamics researcher at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, led the study both to illuminate the ongoing risks of nuclear escalation and to examine how one might have a chance at survival if the unthinkable should come to pass. “People have forgotten the devastating impacts nuclear war can have. But now we’re seeing the discussion starting again, and there’s a debate about the potential for nuclear war in Ukraine,” says Drikakis. “I think this kind of study raises awareness within the wider population that nuclear explosions are not a joke.”
His grim research comes just as the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that it has ticked the Doomsday Clock forward, to 90 seconds until an apocalyptic midnight, citing the increasing nuclear tensions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Scientists and artists developed the metaphorical clock to communicate risks posed by global, human-caused problems including climate change, but the dangers of nuclear war have been a major focus since its inception.
Drikakis combed through scientific research on what the aftermath of nuclear weapon use would look like, and he spotted a gap: There’s little knowledge of the effects on humans indoors in the “moderate damage zone” a few miles from the epicenter, far enough away that buildings might not get blown to bits. He and his colleague Ioannis Kokkinakis focused on this area and published their work in the Physics of Fluids journal last week. ...

Useful only as toilet paper or for lighting fires.I have an original 'protect & survive' booklet somewhere. Printed on government issue* paper.

Covid really has died on its arse, hasn’t it? They’ve had to blow the dust off the Doomsday Clock.
Still, the asteroids are now looking promising.

Depending on the size of the asteroid, likely not. Especially in a direct hit.There shelters could also protect you against asteroid strikes.
Isn't that an Iron Maiden track?Starting at seven minutes to midnight doesn't give you much scope for deterioration.
Seven Minutes to Midnight is by Wah! Heat. Two Minutes to Midnight is Iron MaidenIsn't that an Iron Maiden track?
That'll teach me to be sarcastic.Seven Minutes to Midnight is by Wah! Heat. Two Minutes to Midnight is Iron Maiden
My sarcasm detector is clearly on the blink.That'll teach me to be sarcastic.
