Things you learn from watching Threads


When you hear the Attack Warning get pissed out of your mind and strait underneath it (the bomb) when it happens

YOU CANNOT WIN A NUCLEAR WAR

Jimmy’s Daughter inherited most of his genes – neither can speak understandable English and both attract less than desirable mates

Don't make a song and dance of it (nuclear war) – just get on with it.

Headphones will ruin your hearing

Packing a Bird Watchers book will ensure your survival for at least 13 years after a nuclear attack

SHEIFIELD HAS GOT NO INDUSTRY!!

Panic buying is unnecessary

National Emergencies are a good way to line your pockets

Steam Irons exploded during an EMP

Morning sickness only last a week or two.

It’s bloody ridiculous to stop people like “that”

-The news reporter's red hair doesn't suit her flamboyant sweater at all.

-Finches will explode like popcorn when a nuclear blast occurs.

-The texting zombies of today's society would go into withdraw if this film ever became a reality - and video gamers would probably kill themselves, having no electricity.

-We all need to GET BACK TO BLOODY RUSSIA!

-Spiders in the U.K. always build webs right before the Americans and the Russians fight.

-We should all feel very sorry for the actress who plays the woman who wet her slacks as the bomb went off, she'll never live down her one and only role as "Woman Who Urinates on Herself": http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1856457/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t53

-After killing criminals and stealing their crisps, it's of vital importance to ask what flavour they are.

-During a nuclear attack, the mushroom cloud will change its shape and color repeatedly, and mimic stock footage to an alarming degree. Oh, those silly mushroom clouds!

-After a nuclear attack, children like Ruth's daughter still have the benefits of getting cavity fillings and ear piercings.

-Despite the electromagnetic pulse burning out most devices, video games still work so nerds will take over with them.

-This is the skeleton of a cat! A cat's skeleton! :)

If you're on the shag in Sheffield and the earth moves, it's sadly not you. It's likely to be the British army on their way to the middle east :(

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland where everyone is starving, meaty looking dogs will be permitted to roam the streets unmolested.

After a nuclear war, any future offspring will call parents by their first names.

It'll be like camping.

In your precious bag of scavenged supplies, there will be numerous curtain hooks.

Said hooks will be a huge pain to pick up if someone throws you and your belongings out onto the street.

School is closed today.

Michael's too young to know about abortion.

After the bomb, there's no time for babbies.

Mr. Beckett is fire proof. When the bomb detonates, his wife and kid catch on fire. But not him.
