  1. Here you go.

    You've got a Brompton (L6 if you like).

    You've got £75 in your pocket.

    An asteroid will hit the Earth in ninety-three minutes and you're going to
    die.

    It's a Thurdsay this coming July. Warm but raining. 6:37PM.

    You're in Tottenham Court Road.

    What do you do?

    Ride to the British Museum, nick the Sutton Hoo hoard and cycle to Buck Palace clad in the
    grave-goods of Raedwald to reclaim England and challenge Phil the Greek to single combat.

    Then buy a cycling helmet, secure in the knowledge that it'll protect me from all head injuries. The
    asteroid will bounce of my lid and I can usher in a new era of peace and prosperity as saviour of
    the earth.

    Oh, wait a minute. You said it was raining. In which case I'll head to the nearest pub and get
    bladdered.

    Smudger, Either :-
    a). You've had a hell of a premonition there, young man OR -
    b). You're in competition for the -strangest- query ever put out on an ng, including tenuous link to
    ng subject.

    Dave. ;-)

    p.s. in answer to your query, spend 93 minutes wondering how the hell I ended up in Tottenham Court
    Road, on a Brompton with £75 in my pocket at
    6:37pm on a warm yet wet rainy Thursday this coming July.....
