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.

Heathcliffscathy · 19/04/2007 23:15

ask if he has a unspecified disaster plan....BET he does....bet you!

Boco · 19/04/2007 23:16

Mine won't have. We have an unspecified disaster most weeks, and there is never a plan.

Harpsi, DH says "She's not a zombie if she's writing on Mumsnet. Zombies have got better things to do with their lives"

harpsichordcarrier · 19/04/2007 23:18

true, though
except if I was a zombie I would be on here in a trice
Am I Being Unreasonable to be upset about being one of the Undead?

Heathcliffscathy · 19/04/2007 23:22

girls come onto the swearing thread...it is also fun....

am having best time on mn tonight!

pucca · 19/04/2007 23:24

OMG! at this thread, so funny.

I don't dare to ask dh if we have a zombie plan, as i know he would just look at me as if i was a complete nutter!!

There was a very graphic zombie film on TV a couple of months ago and i don't know what it was called, was horrific though! certainly beat all the old classics that looked so fake!

ViscountessPetitLapin · 19/04/2007 23:25

First, you need a snooker queue and some Queen music.

Boco · 19/04/2007 23:26

Style - Does dribble look ok with green flesh?

My rotten arm is hanging by a thread - is it a good look, or do i give it a yank?

Food - brains - pureed or with a spoon straight from the skull?

What's the wierdest neighbours body part you've frozen?

MamaG · 19/04/2007 23:33

I actually do have a zombie plan

Lock myself in understairs cupboard with DH, DD, DS, dog and DH's shotgun

and cake

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 19/04/2007 23:48

That's not very healthy MamaG.. surely you'd want to take an organic yogurt or 3 in with you??

NotQuiteCockney · 20/04/2007 07:51

Obviously you lot need more (or better?) zombie books.

Seriously, Day of the Triffids is much scarier than any of this stuff. I remember watching out for triffids while walking around, without even thinking about it.

NormaStanleyfletcher · 20/04/2007 07:56

NQC - re day of the triffids - we were discussing that book at work the other day and someone asked "Had they never heard of strimmers?"

We all agreed that chapter two would then have to be "The compost years" and the whole thing would have been alot less exciting

FrannyandZooey · 20/04/2007 07:57

FFS

night after night I have been staying up late, looking for the mythical MN late night craic

trawling through thread after thread about knitting and frozen sandwiches

then I go to bed early and you all go frigging loopy

NotQuiteCockney · 20/04/2007 07:59

Eh, I missed it too, but I need my sleep these days.

I don't think a strimmer would do the job, tbh - they had those paralysing lashy type things, didn't they? With a long reach.

NotQuiteCockney · 20/04/2007 08:00

Frances, does your DP want our spare Zombie Survival Handbook or whatever it is? Is there any hope of him becoming a Real Man?

FrannyandZooey · 20/04/2007 08:06

I am going to have a Serious Talk with him tonight about his failure to Protect His Family From Zombies

I reckon he might have come up with one by now, though, don't you?

(do you think it is relevant that we don't really watch that type of film, and I have banned computer games with zombies in because even the box gives me the willies?)

NotQuiteCockney · 20/04/2007 08:09

Um, that might be a factor.

What zombie video games had dreadful boxes? (We have Carmageddon, and Typing of the Dead (which is ace))

NotQuiteCockney · 20/04/2007 08:10

DH doesn't tend to watch horror movies per se, and we got bored of 28 days. We did see Shaun of the Dead, though. And his choice video games are warfarey ones, not zombies.

FrannyandZooey · 20/04/2007 08:15

I think there was one called House of the Dead

I asked that it be removed (it came with a gun ) which in retrospect suggests that I alone am responsible for our household's lack of Zombie Plan

OrmIrian · 20/04/2007 08:16

Right. Well I think it's sensible to be prepared....

Speaking as one who was scared by Shaun of the Dead - not funny at all! I've always been terrified of zombies much more than just abit scary thing I can think of - even Daleks and vampired. Cyber men are pretty terrifying too. Mind you I am scared by any horror films - I hid in the shower when I was at uni and someone touched my shoulder after we'd watched some crappy potboiler called the Hand with Michael Caine, and ran away screaming when DH hissed at me after we watched that film when pods grew into people and took over the world. So this is probably not a good topic for me

So we have a plan? Scream a lot and plead for mercy I suppose which i know is a pretty cack plan. After we'd watched shaun I was a bit nervous of taking the kids out for a country walk but DH assured me that Zombies were a purely urban phoenomenon i think he was lying.... But if not I guess that's the beginnings of a plan. Hole up in the hills somewhere and kill sheep for food.

NotQuiteCockney · 20/04/2007 08:19

Zombies will be worse in the city, there are more people there.

Frances, Typing of the Dead is related to that game, only instead of having to shoot the zombies, you have to type the words that appear with them. It's a great game - I played it in the arcades in Tokyo.

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 08:22

Not read whole thread, but surely you just go to the Winchester?
