Search the internet for "what to do if you only have 5 minutes", prioritise the options, start a poll on here and take the most popular.

Put the kettle on and have a nice cuppa - and phone my daugher at the same time!

What? All in 5 minutes??

I don't think I'd do anything actually, I'd rather not know at all and if I found out that would mean I couldn't ring my family to tell them I love them in case they didn't know, I wouldn't want to upset them!

Plus, you wouldn't even be leaving anyone behind would you?

I know this isn't the best way to be a Christian, but I'd pray too. Make sure, I'd done everything I needed to with God before it ended! Sorry I'm very tired, so I can't write what I was going to, as I've fallen asleep three times whilst writing this reply!

Wake my 7 year old daughter, cuddle up with her and her mother, tell them both how much i love them and tell them not to be scared and that we'll all be together again in a few minutes time, in a better place.

I'm not religious but given 5 minutes, it's the best i could do.

What about you brooksy?

Vidster, would you really?
you see, I wouldn't because if they didn't know, I'd rather leave it because otherwise I'd have thought it'd just upset a little 7 year old too much!

If I knew and my family didn't, I just wouldn't tell them, but then that's only me. I'm not picking faults, just very interested as we both have very different opinions!

I don't think i would go in to detail in the 5 minutes i had left. I think i would try to make sure my daughter knew we love her and that if 'something' happened, we would all still stay together, wherever that may be.
Bare in mind that all this is happening in the space of five minutes. I placed myself in that situation when the question was asked and i didn't allow for any time to think about it. My brothers,sister,mother and father never entered the equation at all. I only thought of my daughter and kblade.
My daughter would obviously know that something was wrong anyway. The more i could reassure her the better IMO

I would read my favourite poem, whilst cuddling up to my husband.
And pray that we would still stay together in 'a better place', as Vidster said.

I'd make some cheese on toast. Or I could go for my last ever Jimmy Riddle and not worry about leaving the bog seat up.

If I knew it was a tsunami, I'd be up in the loft looking for my 'Benidorm 1971' snorkel and goggles set.

Oh, and I'd telephone the Inland Revenue and say "This damnation is all your doing - and by the way, all my returns were a shed load of cobblers. I owe you 50 million pounds! Na-na-ne-na-naaaa!

"Adious".

When my mum was little, she heard on the radio that the world was going to end. (You know how you always got those end of world threats) so she went and emptied her piggy bank of all the money she'd saved up for weeks (possibly months) and went to the sweet shop, she spent the whole lot on sweets and then woke up in the morning! She thought 'oh no! I'm not supposed to wake up!'

My grandma went MAD!!!!

Here here. Or wait, is it hear hear?

I think I would just cry, probably. Log onto the forum and start a thread about it.

I love it in Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, when they go into the pub, and ford tells the barman that the world is going to end. Theres an important footy match on and the barman says "good news for arsenal if it does!" and ford just looks confused and says "no, not really", it makes me laugh so much.
"Shouldn't we all, you know, lie down and put bags over our heads" "If you like, yes" "Will it help?" "Not at all"

I guess it depends if everyone else knew or not. I mean, if there was a radio and TV announcement or something, then there'd probably be a bit of strain on the phone networks and a bit of a queue at the bar for the ultimate "last orders", and probably some craziness going on in the street. I wouldn't want to spend my last 5 minutes getting stressed so I'd probably just stick the kettle on.

On the other hand, if for some hypothetical reason only I knew of the impending doom, I couldn't exactly run up to a stranger in the street and say "the world's going to end, let's have sex". So I'd probably just stick the kettle on.

Strip, run for the car and drive to the nearest airport and hope theres a helicopter for my to steal, then try and figure out how to fly it to a level high enough to avoid the wave.

I dont think id do all that in 5mins but what the hell. also not sure why id strip but im sure it would feel right at the time.

If I had 5-15 minutes left I would rush to Chatanoooogas Pizza (opposite the Big Tree in Woodsesats) and order one of their "Special Kebab Delux Meals"

I once saw one being made:

It was based on a large cheesey garlic bread (instead of a pitta) and seemed to include about 4 lbs of kebab meat, chicken kebabs, loads of onion and cabbage, some undefined slop and (for good measure) a couple of beefburgers perched on top.

The whole thing looked like it weighs at about 4 kilos and would KILL you
