You're dead!
Congratulations! You never saw it coming. Consider yourself lucky that there was no suffering. Not even the cockroaches survived.

Alive! but do you want to be?
You live in the middle of no where or are lucky. The planet isnt looking good though. Get ready for some great skiing in the incoming nuclear winter

I'm OK. I have a tinfoil hat.

[JohnnyWalkabout]

I only get first degree burns

It tells me that cancer is only a matter of time for me but hey what's new!!

[davidy2980]

we will all be ok if we just duck and cover

[GRASSMAN]

Head to toe 2nd degree burns, dead in a fortnight.

Any one smell toast? cause that'll be me.

Gman.

Well thats rubbish. It says Swindon (19 miles away) will get nuked (hooray!) but RAF Fairford (AKA USAF Fairford) will not be nuked and thats 3 miles away. I call bullshine on their diagnosis of alive but 2nd degree burns. I will be a lot crispier than that...

Same here - it ignores GCHQ at Cheltenham which would be a prime target.
The good news is I'm within range, so no worries about a lingering death for me then.

Happy days.

This might have some relevance to a cold war M.A.D. scenario. But if there is a nuclear war, it will almost certainly be fought with limited capacity weapons in the Middle East. Deaths here will mostly be due to massive food and oil shortages leading to unprecendented worldwide civil unrest, and catastrophic climate chance resulting from nuclear winter originating in the Middle East. I reckon.

It doesn't ignore it as such, but the only options you can select are population centres and the type of (all pre-1970) bomb.

GCHQ wouldn't require a nuclear strike, just a power cut.

And there I was worried about the economic crisis at the moment... So no need to worry about it anymore...that's a load off my mind..

Well there is that too - the imminent failure of the Italian and Greek economies is likely to lead to the complete meltdown of the European markets, mass unemployment, rampant inflation, and a total collapse of public services.

Just kidding - it'll all be fine. The ECB is going to lend itself some money that it doesn't have and leverage that money into more money which it will recoup by way of structured debt packages backed by, err, the ECB. What could possibly go wrong?
