What would you do if your DP was a zombie

Would you attempt to kill them.

If zombies turn humans into zombies would your rather be a zombie like your DP

Would also depend on the nature of the Zombieism.

Slow walkers...maybe.

Rabid fast runners a la 28 days later...hell no.

No way will the life assurance pay out if you've caved his head in.

Steer him in the direction of a neighbour with a golf club.

Grennie · 03/11/2013 17:24

I wonder if a zoo would want to buy a zombie? Obviously it is different if it is only my DP who is a zombie, or if there is a general zombie invasion.

Lweji · 03/11/2013 17:25

But he would already be dead.
Does life assurance pays if our OH is attacked by a zombie? What would the definition of death be? Surely they don't have detectable brain waves...

Lweji · 03/11/2013 17:26

If there is a zombie invasion, you'd probably be better off as the exhibit at the zoo, safely behind bars in a cage.

DifferenceEngine · 03/11/2013 17:26

Dh zombied alone would be shot or beheaded pronto so i could defend dcs.

If dcs were zombies, I'd have to let em bite me.

misterBad what about the British 1908 pattern cavary sword, that's the gold standard of pointy cutty things IMHO. Though I am more of a class 1 firearms person when it comes to Zombie apocalypse armaments. Im a Bit too short for hand to hand stuff irl.

Where would the kill shot be on a zombie? Does the brain still control it, so destroying C1 vertebrae? Or would you need a dumdum in the head to obliterate the brain [overthinking]

Grennie · 03/11/2013 17:26

I am sure zombies would be excluded under Acts of God

Good point Lweji. As long as you could tell from the body that he was clearly a zombie at the point of head being smashed in then all would probably be well re the insurance.

Clean swipe off with the head or sword through the head a la Michone is probably the best bet then.

Lweji · 03/11/2013 17:30

There is already a tv series about some of you. Zombie Family

There goes my chance of pitching it. Angry

Lweji · 03/11/2013 17:33

In any case, it might be better to make the insurance payable to the children, in case there are any doubts and you do have to kill your OH.
Surely murder is ok, just as long as the murderer is not the beneficiary.

As long as they were not living dead too. But even so, you'd only have to take them to the bank (mask and leash) and sign up for them.

Cookethenook · 03/11/2013 18:04

Bash his head in.

We have had this conversation and both of us agreed killing the infected one of us would be for the greater good.

But then, we have go-bags and a plan for this kind of thing, so it's possible we may be a little odd.

ZombieMojaveWonderer · 03/11/2013 18:06

I would smash his brains in! I may just do that now and say that 'I thought he had turned in to a zombie' when the police turned up to arrest me ;)

StealthPolarBear · 03/11/2013 18:07

I'd probably be killed by him while shouting DH HAVE YOU SEEN THE OH FUCK RUCKSACK ANYWHERE?

SilverApples · 03/11/2013 18:09

Decapitate him with a machete.
Yes, I have an OH, a machete and can fence with a sabre.
Sorted.

Grennie · 03/11/2013 18:10

Maybe I should contact the insurance company and see if my policy includes zombie attacks?

StealthPolarBear · 03/11/2013 18:13

Littleredzombiesquirrel errrr what documentary?
Worried about the number of people who have had serious conversations about this - is there something I should know?

complexnumber · 03/11/2013 18:13

Isn't being locked in the shed male Zombie heaven?

ShatnersBassoon · 03/11/2013 18:17

Official guidelines state you need to remove the head or destroy the brain. I'd stand a better chance of destroying his brain, so I'd go for that. Probably use the crowbar or garden fork through the eye.

StealthPolarBear · 03/11/2013 18:19

Can you imagine setting up the life insurance
"Details of pre-existing conditions:
Death, decomposition, rabid killer instincts, taste for human flesh. Type II diabetes. Mild glaucoma."

StealthPolarBear · 03/11/2013 18:19

WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAT official guidelines?
Someone put me out of my misery here!
Back in 5 mins - off to lock the door

ipswichwitch · 03/11/2013 18:22

I would say I probably wouldn't notice but for the fact he'd be considerably less feckin moany. A bit of "mmmmmreegehhghh" would be like music to my ears compared to the bloody whinge-fest he's had today

DulcetMoans · 03/11/2013 18:42

shatnersbassoon is my new favourite MNetter name. Plus, accurate quoting of Shaun of the Dead. You made me happy!

gordyslovesheep · 03/11/2013 18:45

am I the only one who'd be a zombie - much more fun than the constant, exhausting, endless running and hiding and fighting Grin

You all need to get one of these.

I like your thinking Gordy
