Re: In the event of nuclear war...
If Vlad does decide to launch, I hope he does it at the end of the season, my team East Fife are five points clear at the top of our league! Being serious, there will be a lot more than 10 targets. But playing the game here, where would I be evacuated to? The infrastructure isn’t there in the border...

Re: Cannabis for pain relief
I know someone who is frustrated that cannabis is so hard to get legally for medical use It is the only thing that works on his chronic pain beyond strong opiates with far worse side effects. Yeah, I agree with you. I take prescription strength cocodamol every morning for my arthritic knee as I can...

Re: Cannabis for pain relief
I’ve used CBD oil for pain relief and while it doesn’t cure it, it lowers it to a 2/10 if that makes sense. I then went onto the gummies which are expensive but if you shop around, you can find a BOGOF deal somewhere. I found the gummies weren’t as good but that’s a personal preference. Admission ti...

Re: New Zealand Civil Defence website
Roughly the same size as Blighty. The South Island is about the size of England with just over a million folk in it so they tend to be a bit more resilient than most.

Re: New Zealand Civil Defence website
In the last few years… White Island blew up. Christchurch was flattened. Forest fires every year although not on the scale of Greece or Australia. Tsunami warnings a few times a year when there’s an offshore earthquake like the one that his Samoa a few years back. Mt Ruapehu - an active volcano, the...
