Is DH being unreasonable to think we should start hoarding ?

[oldandgreynow]

He is worried about what is going to happen to the economy after the 'window dressing' which has gone on in the runup to the election ends.he thinks we should start hoarding non perishable food incase there is a devaluation in the currency ,we can't import anything and there are food shortages.I can see this is a remote posssibility but surely very unlikely and most likely we'll end up with loads of stuff we don't like cluttering the house!

Our cloaks cupboard is still packed to the gunwales with chopped ham&port, tinned fruit salad, rice, breadflour, yeast and bottled water which DH INSISTED we buy when we were all going to get swine flu.

bloody ninny.

WTF am I going to do with all this crap?

I have a stash of bottled water. Some of the bottles split and got my eaves storage space wet

Didn't anyone watch the documentary 'Shaun of the Dead'?

I have a National Trust Allotment which comes with a long list of conditions you have to sign to say you will adhere to. Will look up if I am allowed to use Zombies.

Currently having the same conversation with dh!

He's not a conspiracist or paranoid. He is pretty damn good regarding the economy though.

We had a conversation about applying for a firearms license due to the possibility of looting.

I have got a gun.

ALOUISEG, good fucking grief!

My goodness you've even thought of what to wear pedro! Very inspirational.

Also feeling the need to panic buy chocolate now, which I could always remelt into frisbees edged with flaked almonds for a spot of decapitation.

DS has an airsoft rifle. Should I be sending him down into the woods with some tin cans to practice on?

DS made a rather good gun out of chunky lego, which gets DH ever time he walks in the door in the evening. Maybe that would fool them?

I may pop round Oldandgrey's house - she seems to have loads of stuff to loot

• 14 gallons of wine/mead (check)

- 120 pints of beer (check)

our plan is to get the zombies drunk, and sneak away whilst they are incapacitated.

do people really think like this?

For me stockpiling chocolate would never work because I'd just end up eating it.

storing bottled water is actually pointless too because the chemicals from the bottles leak out into the water over a period of about six months and the water then becomes undrinkable...

Riven - please don't tell me cauliflower is high fat -I might cry.

What a waste of beer and wine - I shall pretend to be a zombie at your house. Where do you keep the remote controls and do you have lots of nice bath smellies?

do you think they are like snails, and if you leave th beer out in saucers you find them insensible in the morning, and can gently place them in a more appropriate environment?

Do zombies eat prunes? We have stockpiled prunes which came in handy when we were snowed in and bored.

Yes, wannaBe - eat the chocolate and stockpile body fat. Then you have a built in energy supply. It is a theory I have been working on ...

Well in that case I'm not starting back on Weightwatchers today until we know who we are dealing with. I have a very good stockpile of body fat.

the remotes are in use by the resident zombies. i have lots of nice bath smellies, because i got bought them by work, and can't use them due to an unfortunate condition of the fanjo. I am sure they won't exacerbate Zombie thrush though.

imagines remote-wielding drunken zombie in pleasantly fragranced bath smelling of 'cherry almond' bath stuff

"if you leave th beer out in saucers you find them insensible in the morning"

Would it get cats too though? Hmm, might stop them pooing in our veg patch?

And zombie thrush? Better or worse than limbs falling off?

The other thing to do in a zombie attack is to get to a higher floor and destroy the staircase.

My DP was soooooo pissed off with me for doing that, it took ages to explain and then he asked me why I was wearing a tinfoil hat. Duh!! Some people don't have the sense they were born with.

So what are we most scared of then - a zombie invasion or a tory government

Or is in fact Cameron actually a Zombie in disguise (thinking Dr Who type scenario here). I certainly have my suspicions of George Osborne.

Surely you should stockpile frozen pizza... great for decapitation.

I am ROFL at this You have all made my very grey day just a bit brighter! Thank you!
