ALERT

[Rudolph Hucker]

Mine went off while I was sat on the khazi - I knew it wasn't a real emergency because there's always a spare roll on the shelf above the cistern

I thought my brain had gone funny again when it started speaking to me in Welsh at the end

They sent this as well..........

Damp squib, hope it’s louder or I’m in trouble

Absolutely it will just get drowned out by the sound of the Russian fighter jets flying over.

 

[Attempting accuracy]

This is the first time mine and GF’s phone has gone off.
Every other time we’ve had nadda when a national test has been done.

It didn't happen on mine though the wife got it. Checked and my emergency allert notifications was definitely enabled. Are they trying to tell me something.

Yes, you’re not classed as “breeding stock”….oh well, never mind….

Yeah thank heavens my breeding days are long gone. Couldn't go through that palava again especially dealing with troublesome teenagers. Enjoying time with our granddaughter but then able to hand her back is a far better option.

They got it wrong with the missus though as she's well past breeding age.

Missed it ,been outside putting a new shed up in the back garden .
The website said ,superb quality , top grade pressure treated wood used throughout , easy to put up in a day .
About to enter day three of the bloody thing , instructions might as well be in Chinese for what use they are .
Mrs Jega threatened to leave if i ask her to help again ( all she had to do was hold a panel in place while i fastened it ).
Then she went through the package of bits that came with it , " do you need this bit ? "
The bit that should have gone on first .
End of wifely assistance shortly followed .....

It was during my planned Sunday nap so I disabled the thing on my iPhone, I’d rather get nuked and not know it than run around like a headless chicken in a panic.

Well mine went off WTF ---i was in the garden i nearly jumped out my skin i had been pricking out winter pansy's and just sat down with a cuppa It will not go off again--i found the setting in the phone and turned them off

Personally I don't see the point or purpose of it. Whatever it's designed to warn us of will surely be too late?
Incoming air raid? Too late.
Terrorist attack? Too late.
Nuke attack? Defo too late.

That’ll be me next weekend, I cannot express my total commitment and enthusiasm for dismantling the current summerhouse and constructing the new summerhouse.
Then of course the fence panels need spraying with preserver and then paint.
Just as well weekends are a week long really

Fat lot of good when theirs incoming might just have time to kiss your A---- good bye

Not just a nuke, but also too late to escape an incoming terror attack, conventional air raid etc. You might just have time to escape an impending riot, but I doubt it would alert you of that.

 

[Byronic]

Oh, ok I see.

It still seemed very accurate to her location.

If it was on MoD land during an "exercise" then I wonder whether there were camera drones in use?
That would be very accurate.
