Anyone got their evacuation plan sorted?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics...

Mrs oilydan has been given instructions to keep a suitcase full of baked beans, dried ham, rice and red wine on full readiness. I also have $20 just in case I need to bribe my way to the front of the queue at the border.

Unless the RAF want to give me a whistle-stop tour of the inside of a Typhoon, then I'm fit for duty. Tally Ho chaps.

Oh FFS..I am NOT going through another bloody evacuation..! Had enough of that to last me a lifetime.
Best get on the phone to my mates in the Italian airforce and see if they can swing by when it boots off.

I'm up for it - I asked the missus that if Iran get feisty, could I buy an assault rifle. She said yes.

I wonder if it did kick off, if I wandered up and said that I'm ex-Army, they'd give me something to do. I'd happily defend Barasti from the Persian hoardes.

Just as well I don't work next to a large US Air Force base housing B1 Bombers, which would be a likely target.

Oh wait, balls.

I'll take 2!

Perhaps we could star our own PH version of the revolutionary guards? I can be the leader because I'm in my dinner jacket.....

I say we take up residence at Hatta Fort in a 'Hotel Rwanda' type escapade - there's three lookout posts there which will ensure that the rest of us don't get disturbed in the pool/biker fuelled Gazebo/weird 70s bar/weird 70s restaurant.

Plus, they have an arsenal of weapons: air rifles, darts, archery, golf balls and crazed peacocks...and we can do military type fitness training on their rope course. I love it when a plan comes together!

Oh, Oh...I know the owner of the Hatta Fort and Mrs C gets a silly discount of about 99.9% or something. Would be have to dress up and put that black sh!t on our faces? Now, guns...which one will I need? I'm more of a sniper type guy than running about shooting people...yeah, much prefer picking them off. Will I be able to sit and smoke whilst doing this, or will that give me away? How long will this operation last, as I've got visitors at the mo? Oh, and I'll defend Barracuda with my life.

Mattt, I think the poo farm shall not be in the Iranian's sights hahaha, although you should go dig a foxhole jus in case :P I think there is more chance of Iran swinging for Israel before anyone else.

Thing is, isn't their hardware in a state that if they did launch anything, it wouldn't end up anywhere near where it was aiming for??!!

I'll keep the Kartdrome safe. But I'll need a rear gunner for my kart. Anyone?

You are confusing being able to put a J-Dam through a window in a building and being able to hit a base the size of a town. I am sure Mattts poo farm is safe, (but you wouldnt catch me anywhere near it if the gloves do come off!)
