Nuclear War and all that jazz

Here's the topic that many of us were presumably hoping not to start. Or is there one already? So many, thoughts, worries. I would be interested to hear other life's thoughts. 
Will it not happen- Mutually Assured Destruction and all that?
Is it worth 'prepping'? 
Is it better to be close to a target or worth trying to find somewhere safer?
Have you started prepping?
Is the threat of war somehow liberating by encouraging us to live one day at a time and bugger the future?
Personally, at 46, I am too old to die young. But I have kids between 14 and 20 and that's what has me beside myself with worry. 
I live near Leatherhead which seems far enough to avoid direct blasts from London and the South Coast, so radiation poisoning it is then!
It would be interesting to hear other folk's views on how they cope with this looming over us all. 

EDIT: Whilst typing this a bee has shat on my polo shirt. Great omen.

    I’ve been getting ready for it by watching Threads and When the wind blows on a loop.

    I predict this thread will be sunk long before any WW3 starts.

    I have already studied up on this and made sure my next home is at least 30-miles from all sources of jazz music and I’ve bought a hundred weight of ear defenders to have delivered to my bunker.
    Prepped and ready

    I'll just pop down to the pub, have a nice cold pint and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

    He clearly doesn’t know about the underground command center in Leatherhead, shall I tell him or will you?

    Charlton life will go nuclear if we don't make a couple of signings in the next couple of days. 

    So yes I am prepping

    “Heard from a friend of a friend that Harry Cornick is eager to sign before the nuclear war head drops. Just waiting on a medical”

    Well it ain't going to happen so you can carry on about your day. Read on another forum someone was going to blow everything, max out their credit cards & have a final swansong. Advice there was to not be so stupid, otherwise in 6 months time the bailiffs would he knocking on your door & you'd be up shit creek. 

    As the mug & t-shirt say.... ..keep calm & carry on.

    Bollocks, I’ve just shagged Jenny from accounts as I thought the end was imminent. I’m going to have trouble explaining this to the wife.

    I think we have more chance of signing Kylian Mbappé  than being involved in a nuclear war. It can't happen.

    Well, that's a shame, especially as we are about to shell out for over a dozen nuclear weapons carrying jets.

    That we have to ask permission to use. You've got to laugh that someone actually signed that off.

    I’m not sure about an end of civilisation nuclear situation I think that’s very unlikely but I do think we will start to see a lot more disruption via cyber attacks etc as the perpetrators can hide and deny any involvement which nobody can actually prove otherwise

    I hope that we're going to use them, it would be so typical of this country to spend a bucket load and it go to waste.

    There’s me thinking our owners weren’t splashing the cash ! 

    Was it a toss up between nukes and the Valley? 😉😆

    Maybe this is why numbers are down?

    Paint your windows with white emulsion and build an air raid shelter under your stairs using the doors in your house, that should do the trick...

    ...oh and kiss yer arse goodbye...🙄
