Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

Hey guys! Great set on friday, well played, Sirs! Doug's solo at the end of Bubble was just great, by the way. And good on you for beating Ben at foosball, he deserved a loss for all that rubbish he talked! Jolly good!
I sent Mr. Zeal an email, we still have a limited number of original songs (we hardly ever play together) and so if the heats require a small number of songs or if covers are allowed, we're in! Haha!
