Fallout patterns over the US make for some terrifying no-go stripes if there are enough ground bursts. Granted the typical use would be airbursts over anything not buried or otherwise hardened, but then you look at the possibility of, like NORAD getting hundreds of megatons of ground strikes and the same for a bunch of the minutemen silos all over the upper plains.

True, but if you're lucky enough to have a route through you could GET to Canada/Mexico and maybe eke out an existence.

I'm not sure that there would be anywhere in the UK that's not an irradiated mess 2 days after 0 hour, even in northern Scottland or Nowhere Wales. Given the nuclear plants are all getting blatted in the first round, that's a hell of a lot of long-life radiation to go around.

*FBI agent cracked off a few rounds at Tarp Ghost, did not actually hit Tarp Ghost, and the indictment upholds it as A Good Shoot with regard to the super troopers who actually ghosted tarp.

The FBI shooter hosed up, the FBI dude shot at the car while everyone was in it, before Tarp Ghost made his suicide-by-cop run. Those were the mystery shots that nobody remembered and nobody admitted to, then they IDed the FBI dude as the shooter but he never admitted it or claimed he never shot.

By the way, that FBI dude hosed up by not killing them all.

Seems to me that he lied about not shooting, when he did, and it sounds like it might have been before the infamous jacket reach.

Super stupid. Not the shooting, but the lie. The consequences were likely a slap on the wrist rather than the obstruction he's facing now. I mean, gently caress, you can gun down black folk like plunking at cans in this country and just barely lose your job.

There are secondary Airfields (probably as many as we have Fighter Aircraft) that are all over Southern England that can be made ready in a couple of days. I'm sure there would be a liberal smattering of nukes across everything South of Coventry and then every population centre above it, although good loving luck if you could tell the difference between Middlesborough pre and post Nuclear War.

A few years ago the Soviet plans for an invasion (1970's I think) of the UK were released and they had picked the coastline by Blackpool to land because everything south would have been Glowing.

Most of the airfields that I think you're referring to are in various states of disrepair and the facilities (hangars, control towers, munitions storage) have been torn down or left to rot since the early 90s. The runways and taxiways are in some cases maintained reasonably well (though not to the standards they'd need for modern warplanes since they only deal with RC toys and general aviation at most) and could probably be brought up to spec relatively quickly, but others have not been touched since the USAF left and will probably have to be completely replaced.

What the gently caress did I just read

quote:

And Amy would be there, too; he grinned at the memory of that prepubescent little body plastered against him. She was going to be a handful, all right. His manhood understood Amy a lot better than her mother did; no cerebral phase for Amy … But Anne, his exquisite shy one, with whom he'd found the way into the almost unendurable transports of the flesh … First the conventional greeting, he thought; the news, the unspoken, savored, mounting excitement behind their eyes; the light touches; then the seeking of their own room, the falling clothes, the caresses, gentle at first—the flesh, the nakedness—the delicate teasing, the grasp, the first thrust—

Seriously what the gently caress did I just read
