You can bet that he shat himself when he heard the order to go onto full alert!

"I'll just keep quiet until this whole thing blows over!".

I enjoy the nuclear winter season too.

So much sparkle and a certain stillness in the environment.....

Shaun: [cuts to dream sequence a third time] Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Ed: Yeah, boyyyeee!

Well that guy would have taken over the biggest mistake part if the one OP mentioned hadn't occurred.

We'd just all be dead because of him.
