Is it illegal to have a knife in your car if its hidden away with the spare wheel along with some other tools - i.e. not at all easily accessible? I used to have a box hidden away in the car that had all kinds of gear in it - some rope, a torch and batteries, some water, some chocolate etc etc - plu...

Hi, Recently there was a report of a radiation scare at Sellafield (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-25975785). I'm sure this was no more than the report indicated - ie not much. However it got me thinking - if there was a bad radiation situation - how would I know? Would I be relying on...

A few years ago I bought loads of large pillar candles from these people : http://www.candlesontheweb.co.uk/acatalog/Church___pillar.html They are pretty expensive - but last for a LONG time and are nice enough to use around the house in non-apocalyptic times.

Using bottled water and then refilling from mains water only makes sense if at some point (when you have loads of containers) you stop buying them. However you do then have to keep rotating them - as has been pointed out the shelf life of your tap water is likely to be less than the unopened bottles...

Here is an example happening right now. A ten year old girl has leukemia and the doctors think she has an 85% chance of full recovery with their treatment - and almost zero chance without it. However the parents disagree and are giving her a "regimen of herbs and vitamins" instead. http://...

Cancer is totally and easily cured........... but a simple pennies cure would wipe billions of Pharmaceutical profits and all that lost research cash, it goes way deeper than that.
