The problem is that nuclear sites are likely hardened against emp/solar flares. So if we are unlucky enough to sent to the stone due to Sol, that wont stop the numptys from nuking what is left alive. Stockpile beans, barbed wire and bullets just in case of best case scenario though 👍

If you have a first aid kit at home for unforeseen injuries, then have a bottle (your celebratory beveridge of choice) in the back of the fridge or in a cupboard up the back for long anticipated outbreaks of joy!

The amount of times I have been looking for tools that I left in the laundry because I didn't want to make a seperate trip to the shed... my fault they ended up in a random cupboard, to be fair, but you know I am going to ask here they are

I loved this game, spent my late 20's and early 30's obsessed with it. Tried it again a few years ago, but I just don't have the time required for it. If it is still around when I retire I'll be back tho

Masterchef is a lot more collegial than our other shows! If you'd like a more traditional, cut-throat cooking competition, I suggest "My Kitchen Rules".

Sorry Lara, I assumed you were a Kiwi incorrectly. We have a spirited rivalry with our Kiwi friends and the proposition that each nation belongs to the other is longstanding joke. That New Zealand claims to have invented the pavlova is however false, a cultural appropriation and should be called out
