Pretty useful holiday home given its location I guess although you would want to add a periscope so you have a view.

Personally if I knew there was going to be a nuclear war, I think I would just wander out and enjoy the flash as I wouldnt want to live afterwards anyway!

High security but low speed judging by the phone connection in place. and you'll need a big battery if there is no mains

although it only has limited protection and mostly from fallout.

Youd really want a proper hardened shelter with proper air conditioning and filtration system with protected water supplies and decent sewerage, air lock entry etc.

I think your kind of missing the point that you should drag the nearest fit bird down into the shelter before the blast she will be grateful at surviving and as your the only 2 left alive youll be garunteed a regular shag all in the name of repopulating the planet

Unless your unlucky enough to grab Tony Mannocks ex by mistake in which case shed rather the species die out than get fucked by a bloke

That might survive the shock wave from a blast but the initial high altitude high yield EMP (HEMP) device would fry all of your equipment!!

I'd be heading over to our training facility to escape a blast:

http://www.urbansickness.co.uk/Crowb.../img_6445.html (scroll using the right hand side arrows to see the bunker interior).

Pictures don't really convey how grim this place is, and down on the third floor it's seriously depressing - its so quiet and bland, it feels like sensory deprivation.

It was built by the Canadian Army, and used in WW2 to broadcast "black propaganda", to try and unsettle the German populace.

The outer buildings are now in disrepair, but are still handily used for training.
