The emergency services are trained to cope with a wide range of emergency situations, but if a terrorist attack happens, they'll be so snowed under with calls they won't have a clue what to do. So, you'll have to deal with it yourself.

* Reduce fire hazards in your home. Children are the worst fire hazards; consider giving them up for adoption.

* Fit and maintain smoke alarms - at least one on every floor. But if they go off every time you cook bacon, like ours do, just take the batteries out.

* Most fire deaths and injuries occur while people are sleeping. Plan an escape route should a fire break out at night. Here's a hint: throw your children out of the window FIRST, then follow.

* If there is a fire, get out, stay out and call 999. Not necessarily in that order, though.

* Never use the lift. As if you have a lift in your house. Tell you what, though, if you have one of those Stannah Stairlifts? You're screwed.

* If moving or trapped in smoke stay close to the floor where the air is cleaner. While you're there, do some hoovering by putting your mouth to the floor and sucking.

* If a door feels hot, do not open it, as it probably means there is a hot hot disco party on the other side.


hehe some of it is quite funny

Kind of lame.
 
Negotiate using sign language, if possible. Failing that, and assuming they aren't armed with futuristic ray guns, run like hell.

Alien invasion

Funny stuff.
 
Run like hell, particularly if you caused the emergency.
Trample all others in your desperate attempt to escape.
Loot on the way out.

Haha...Gotta love these things really :)

glad you cleared that up, I had no idea what that meant
 
Its the law of the universe. If someone doesn't make a pointless comment in a thread then something bad happens. Some say that the universe will implode, others say it will merely end up in a nice tidy happy thread, but no one believes them.
