TheArmadillo · 19/04/2007 21:30

hve been forced to ask this by dp and lodger.

If zombies happened what would you do?

I don't have one - apparently this is unusual Have never even considered it.

SO do you have a zombie plan?

PMSL these DHs are SO funny! LiF, your DH clearly went into "OMG she thinks I have lost it.. she is going to make me look for it.. how can I get out of this?" mode as if a "zombie plan" was a house contents insurance policy that he was suspected of mislaying!!!

MrsWho · 21/04/2007 13:25

LOL at Brans toddler zombies, its 'cos when the zombies are out at night zombie kids still go to bed!

Thanks MrsWho, that makes sense.

LOL at LiF's dh. I haven't dared to ask dh if he has a plan yet, he's been working all hours and hasn't even managed to sort out a plumber (which he promised to do a month ago) so I think a zombie plan request would tip him over the edge.

nally · 21/04/2007 13:51

dd1 (5.4) says if zombies attack we should "DESTROY THEIR BRAINS" Good advice I think.

JackieNo · 21/04/2007 13:55

Well we're stuffed too - MrNo said 'A what?' and then 'No, it's not an eventuality I think will happen' (yes, he really does talk like that), and then, when pressed, 'I work with the undead on a regular basis, and I don't think they'll be able to get themselves organised', so I guess it's up to me to go buy a sword and some bottled water.

motherinferior · 21/04/2007 16:02

Mr Inferior said first 'panic and die'; but then he said, right, then he said 'ah but actually I have been thinking that the veg I've been growing in our garden would be very useful if we had to be self-sufficient. It's a good First Step'.

WTF?

JodieG1 · 21/04/2007 16:05

I asked dh and he didn't even know what a zombie plan was, needless to say he doesn't have one. Not something I've ever thought about either.

Sense of humour cod? Irony? Have you misplaced them somewhere???

Rhubarb · 21/04/2007 17:33

Funny, dh just said that.

Rhubarb · 21/04/2007 17:33

Have a few bottles of wine and think about it is the general consensus in our house.

Somewhere there will be a dadsnet discussing the best zombie plan

NotQuiteCockney · 21/04/2007 20:15

(Oh, bran, what sort of plumber do you need? I can recommend a) a toilet etc sort of plumber, and b) a lovely heating engineer guy. Oh, also, are you coming next weekend, to the sew up?)

bran · 21/04/2007 20:30

We need to have a new shower door fitted and the underneath of the shower checked to make sure it's not leaking. We have a plumber, but dh phoned him once and left a message which the plumber hasn't returned. DH reckons there's nothing else that he can do. I'm trying not to get involved as
a) he said he would sort it out
b) I do everything else except some of the bill paying.

Yes I will be coming to the stitch up, are people bringing children? I may need to bring ds if dh is working the weekend again, otherwise I'm tempted to leave him with dh. A whole day alone with ds always brings dh to his knees, I can then be outwardly sympathetic and inwardly smug that I can (usually) manage it. Would it be ok if I brought a puy lentil and roasted veg salad? Alternatively I could do Thai green chicken curry and bring my rice cooker with me to do the rice.

NotQuiteCockney · 21/04/2007 21:51

I'm sure either of those would be great!

The plumber I know lives in Hackney, and does decorating etc etc as well. He's very reliable. Ok, I lie, he sometimes has pancreatitis and is in the hospital. But if he says he will come, he comes. Tidies up after himself, the whole deal. Polish. (Shocker)

I can pass on the number for you to give DH, when you come around. If you want it.

FrannyandZooey · 21/04/2007 21:51

NQC you are still here! I thought you were out black tieing

please come back to skirt thread where I have linked to your present

NotQuiteCockney · 21/04/2007 21:53

Ah, will come to skirt thread.

No, black tie is not tonight, that would be sensible. It is on Tuesday.

Still don't know if I'm getting a motorcycle taxi there, but am leaning towards 'yes'.

FrannyandZooey · 21/04/2007 21:54

oooh how coool

and if zombies come you can escape on the motorbike?

NotQuiteCockney · 21/04/2007 21:57

Well, it is cool, and also fast. I went on a motorbike once, and really liked it.

I thought DH would disapprove on safety grounds, but he doesn't, thinks it is a cool idea.

I phoned one motorbike taxi place and they were fully booked, I have one more to try ...

themoon66 · 21/04/2007 23:47

I wish we had motorbike taxis in rural Lincolnshire. I would book a ride just for fun. Was a biker chick in my teenage years

SparklyGothKat · 22/04/2007 00:55

I asked DH and he said 'I'll just get eaten and join them' We're stuffed!!!!

exbury · 22/04/2007 18:06

OK, so I finally managed to drop it into conversation with DH without him realising it came from MN - and it turns out that he has a ZP, and says that all men have ZPs, but sensible ones wouldn't tell their DWs in case the DW is one of the first to be zombified - because then the zombies would know the plan and the plan would be useless, IYSWIM. So he won't tell me his!

So maybe Franny's DP does have a plan but is too sneaky to tell?

bran · 22/04/2007 20:01

exbury, that's obvious man-speak for "I don't have a plan, but I know that a real man should and you've caught me unawares".

Give him a little while to make up a plan, and then tell him that zombies don't really think, they just act on instinct so you won't be able to remember his plan if you're zombified and you certainly wouldn't be able to pass it on to the wider zombie community.
