Hi guys, in order to confront all the left wing vituperative bile that we sadly have on the forum I thought I'd go off on a tangent. What is your favourite location to escape from the world?

It wouldn't exactly be secret if it was posted here would it?

I'll kick things off. I like to sit on the banks of the river Wye in a little town called Hay and have a few Marmite sarnies.

Share and share alike my friend

Dosser trying to find out the dogging hotspots round this way... bit cold for that I'd reckon!

Shittest thread ever.

I've learned a new word thanks to this thread. Vituperative ! And from a drunken lunatic as well, wonders never cease

Have fun.

The Maharese in County Kerry

Finding it real hard to break the 7 million initial causality mark. Will have another go at work later. Might try nuking Manila next.

Just killed 13M in New Delhi and surrounding areas with a 100Mt bastard.

Tokyo is the most densely populated city in the world. 100000 kt gave me 13.18 mil casualties.

Poor Japs, again.

11.45 million dead in Seoul. Happy with that.

13.279mil in Mumbai. I WIN!

A re-calibrated attack in Tokyo gives me 13,434,660

Aiming at Eden Gardens in Calcutta gives me 13,513,730...

Now I win.

13.979m is the best I can get here

You guys using custom payloads? I juts picked the biggest Russian badboy from the drop down.

The big Russian one is the most the model can handle. Put in 200000 and you'll get the message.

Try that bomb on Delhi, but surface rather than airburst.

Tokyo - 18.3 Mil

Wouldn't let me do Bristol. Pop up box says the place is improved enough already.

Interestingly (or not, depending upon your perspective), both the US and the USSR gave up on single multi-megaton weapons quite early on in the arms race, in the late 50's. MIRV (multiple independently retargetable entry vehicles) systems like Polaris - and then Trident - gave firstly a much better chance of breaching anti-ballistic missile systems plus secondly a shedload of smaller (approx. 500kt) warheads is much more effective in vapourising an insanely larger number of people.

The largest bomb in that model was a dick waving exercise by Stalin, tested at 50Mt it had an optional third fusion stage that was the 100Mt version which fortunately was never tried out. In terms of how many more worldwide cancers would have resulted.

Nuclear weapons are totally sick but I find the history and physics intensely fascinating.

The bill for Trident has just gone up by £6 billion....

I'm not going to get into the politics of this as it's a waste of time but it is a fact that no nuclear weapon equipped nation has ever been attacked by another country, even one with their own stockpile.

If anybody is interested in this stuff, the definitive site is:

And just some info around these horrible things and how powerful they became.

Fat Man that obliterated Nagasaki, 21kt:

Tsar Bomba, that insane 50/100Mt replication of hell on Earth:

(http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Russia/TsarBomba2Big.jpg)

It was so massive it had to be carried outside the largest Russian bomber:

Even more scary is the minaturisation that has continued over the years. This is a W80 cruise missile warhead, 170-200kt yield, still 1,400 deployed. That's a ten times bigger bang than Fat Man:

Coming full circle to Trident:

(http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Uk/Trident.jpg)

Trident II D-5
Missiles: 58    Warhead loading: 1-6 x 100kt    Warhead number: 192    Total yield (Mt equiv): 41.4

Pretty much correct Talk Talk. The reason for MIRVs is that they give a larger area of destruction. A one megaton bomb will destroy 80 square kilometres, but 8 X 125 kilotons will destroy 160 square kilometres. Destructive power diminishes as a square of the distance from ground zero.

You wouldn't happen to work within the Newbury/Reading/Basingstoke triangle would you?

 :hmmm:

Exactly, how many countries could build these things but choose not too? They all seem to be doing OK.

No I don't, I am interested in science, like you. I've been lucky to work in some great places.

I guess that you have an umbrella?

No, but I have a Davy Crockett hat

Just dropped one on the Kasam, and it wiped out Blackbird Leys and Cowley, but left the Historic city centre.

PHNARRRRRRRRRRRR

Tiny tiny nuclear weapon! 10 to 20 ton yield and fired from a special rifle!

Bloody typos. I'm sure that you meant Kasim.

No, he meant Jason.

Another observation on nuclear weapons.

In an hydrogen bomb, it is a two stage device. An atom (fission) bomb is used to ignite the secondary (fusion) stage. For fuck's sake, the primary is a Nagasaki type weapon that could destroy a whole city centre easily. That's used as an initiator for the bigger bang. It's like a massive stupid bonkers fuse in an insane hand grenade.
