If that Nutter in N.Korea does shove one up the spout and press the titty button, we're just nicely out of range in Spain and the UK.
Most of the rest of Europe and part of the US could well be in deep shit but I won't be losing too much sleep over that.

Ah a war.

Just what the world needs to sort out the debt crisis and get countries back on an even footing.

I suppose a sizable reduction in World population might ease a few problems as well.

The UK news seems more obsessed with the bad weather and what the celebs are up to at the moment, however the Spanish media seem to think the fact that N.Korea has just announced a state of war, to be a little more interesting, though apparently the last Korean war never officially ended.

If its a war Dave might want to back the USA and bring the UK in to help out..

Maybe, maybe not

On the Beach is a 1957 post-apocalyptic, end-of-the-world novel written by British-Australian author Nevil Shute

Russia and China might help out too..

Kim Dong diddly ding dong, is obviously a result of three generations of inbreeding. He does however posses the box of matches that will light the fuse to N Korea's big firework rocket.
As a new leader he is just trying to prove that he is just as loony as his dad and grandad, but seriously he may just be trying to get N Korea aid in the form of fuel and food. He has to be carefull that he does not upset the big man bext door ( China ) who may just take all his toys away and send him into the naughty corner.

New found importance and virtual celeb status seem to have gone to his head somewhat, sending him on an ever spiraling power trip.
He's already upset his big brother up the road, as for giving him fuel and food maybe not such a good idea.
In his present frame of mind he'd likely use the fuel to help increase his military strength and use the food to feed his ever increasing massive army.

It's before my time, but I had a pal who fought in Korea in the early fifties. Unfortunately he was taken prisoner and kept trying to escape so they sent him to a prison camp in the middle of China. He still went walkabout and when he got home he got a medal for trying to escape.

He was banged up for quite a few years and became fluent in Chinese. We used to go for meals in China town in London and the Chinese feted him. He never put his hand in his pocket.

You would have thought that after his experience he hated the north Koreans and Chinese, but he didn't, he loved them and they loved him. In the end it got a bit too much for him and he sometimes fell asleep with his head in the soup.

written in the middle of nuclear proliferation but as it is Nevil Shute (who died a couple of years later) seen as old hat nowadays, in fact Amazon are advertising it as Vintage Classic.

didnt think much of the film adaptation

wonder what I did with my gas mask

Dark inanimate forces the four apocalyptic riders begat, vomited and spat their anger at the Earth, a wrath of biblical rage tore a fury of mayhem across the land....Towns and cities rent and torn, homes and abodes lay scattered across the terrain...

Giant aged trees spawned centuries before were ripped from their roots and hurled broken and dead across the land. Bloated and bursting corpses lay strewn around the landscape.

Disease and disorder reign above all morals and shadowy forms crept and slunk amongst the bodies silently relieving the still souls of any manner of wealth and dignity.

Some survived....The few who lived through the destruction and desecration slowly changed into creatures difficult to compare to those who once walked this great planet...



Is this what we are looking forward to?......I'm having an early drink then!!!

All becomes clear ..

...and the meek shall inherit the Earth.

There's no chance for any of us lot then!
