As an aside:
If any of you men are having a good day (or week) and need it absolutely ruined, you have to watch the BBC docudrama Threads (1984) about the dropping of nuclear bombs on Sheffield in the UK when the Cold War boils over. The grainy feel of it and the non slick feel makes the images that much more real and...awful. It goes into the future as well and its....don't think about it.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT watch if your in a bad mental state already, it puts the other media on nuclear war in its rightful childish place, no you're not going to be a badass, it would be beyond comprehension, its the ultimate horror film IMO and I'm just getting despondent thinking back on it and its been a few years since I watched, its so palpable.
It used to be on full on youtube, but can be found elsewhere, beyond masterful and the best compliment I can give it is:
I never want to watch it again.
Lived in Sheffield for a short while. You are fucked 100% in bad weather conditions in winter let alone if a nuke dropped nearby.
And at the time of the video it didn't have the large number of third world gimmegrants and 3rd generation Pakistani gangs in it like they do now.
Sheffield is a Trump Certified Shithole City now if I'm not mistaken?
