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!

wetwipes won't fend off the zombie (unless they contain a hidden pointed weapon) but it will successfully smear some of the snot and you-know-what that zombies have about their person. And they will smell nicer.

Holy crap Morloth- I am never going to annoy you!

My zombie plan has always involved acquiring a shotgun, but am now considering getting a crossbow instead. I wish I had a two-handed sword though.

I have just realised that as I am within walking distance of a large ASDA, I will have ample looting opportunities. It's a pity you can't get guns and tasers there like Walmart in the US.

I shall also loot Greggs and live on sausage rolls as I won't need to worry about my weight what with all the running away I will be doing.

I for one intent to find out what George Osborne's favourite biscuits are so I can effectively lay zombie traps at the far end of the road (and make sure there are none to attract them into the house).

That and write to the head of COBRA suggesting we, as a nation, stockpile all those superfluous small cushions you get on beds at B&Bs, for blocking up the channel tunnel in case the zombie threat happens to start abroad. They could also be used to pelt Ryanair jets, as I suspect that would be their preferred shorthaul airline.

See you all in the Isle of Wight (see Day of the Triffids, on my shelf in the 'emergency disaster reference books' collection), in case the Australia tunnel gets a bit too hot.

He is being a bit wierd!

And google is proving to be particularly unhelpful. I sense a consipracy.

I had The Death of Grass for Christmas. Along with Scarlet Plague, The Last Man, Canticle for Leibowitz, After London/Wild England and Alas Babylon.

I can help by being a walking reference on How To Survive and Make a Good Narrative.

Plus, I want to be on Pedro's side.

I have just finished reading "The Things that Keep us Here" by Carla Buckley. It is all about a family coping with the chaos and disintegration of society as a killer H5N1 virus moves across America. It paints a very realistic picture of how things could develop and describes the planning that governments have put in place for such a scenario.

After reading this I am seriously thinking about emergency generators, fuel, food and solar panels.

And a zombie trap obviously .

A close and trusted band have started digging a new Channel Tunnel, we have started underneath the frozen chicken section at Waitrose in Milton Keynes. Our tools are spatulas and manicure sets ( we cry when we see the state of our nails!)

So far we have burrowed into the habderdashery section of John Lewis and made off with the whole range of pretty ribbons and little fake roses and oraganza and brocade silk trims.

Let the zombies attack that! We are Wimmin and We Are Strong!

Does anyone have any cuticle cream?

Can I take my blind friend and an oversized suitcase into the tunnel or would that hold us up?

I'm growing my own. Even if things don't go tits up its a nic ething to do. Ive always thought that self- sufficiency is a good idea.

Poshsinglemum

Ok grow your own - whatever. Do we tunnel left or right to shoes and handbags?

Is Mulberry the weapon of choice or Hadley? Maybe a trusty old Tustings weekend bag? Or a Smith & Sons brolly?

Will my old portmanteau cut the mustard in a world of zombies?

Dagnamit - will my wardrobe suffice or do I have to go shopping?

Who stocks chainmail these days?

Ok MN's this is my last post. We have on board a great gal - ex head of Roedean, feet and hands like flippers. Her father is ex-naval and once shagged a dolphin - the rest is history. We have reached Fortnums. Our tunnelling days are over.

The Zombies are dust

Please remember this;

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

etc etc etc

Bang!

(Bugger I luuurve that film)

Well I feel safe and sound. Bring it on!

hhm, methinks I need to link up with some friends - both of whom are mean archers with real longbows and kind enough to teach me to use one a while back. So that'd help.

and the armour-piercing arrows would work against Daleks as they wouldn't notice them (them not being bullets / laser weapons / gimmickry!) so would have more chance of working.

So ok on the hunting side, got a fishing rod, f.i.l. has guns (pity I'm such a crap shot!) but I still can't bake bread to save my life.
