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?

I will discuss with DH later if he has a Zombie plan (he probably does...)

ledodgy · 20/04/2007 08:31

Hmm I'm not sure if dp has a zombie plan will ask him when he gets home from work. I have just thought about my zombie plan and it entails staying as far away from inlaws house as possible as their house backs onto a huge graveyard!

Katy44 · 20/04/2007 08:33

Will email DH now and tell him to prepare a zombie plan for tonight.

aol · 20/04/2007 08:35

I would ask my dh about our zombie plan but I know he would straightaway mention mumsnet in his response and ask if we'd managed yet to incorporate sex and shoes into the conversation.

Humm. I will have to do all our zombie planning alone.

mytwopenceworth · 20/04/2007 09:03

so how many of you - and / or your other half, actually did come up with a zombie plan after leaving this thread last night?

and the dps that were , how many had a 'faraway' look for half an hour or so.......

750,000 families now have a zombie plan.

we need a new zombie plan tshirt and mug!!

mytwopenceworth · 20/04/2007 09:04

i mean we need a zombie plan tshirt and mug. i realise we're not replacing the old one.

oh cut me some slack, i haven't had enough coffee yet.

CountessDracula · 20/04/2007 09:12

Though I have given mn up for lent or something I just have to dip in to object to sophable's assertion that vampires are silly

filthymindedvixen · 20/04/2007 09:18

this is so great! I speak as one who had a 'triffids' plan aged 9. It was years before i could watch a fireworks display without being entirely convinced we weren't all going to ake up blind the next day...

I firmly suspect our zombie plan would be Shaun of the dead-inspired and involve locking ourselves in a place of safety containg much alcohol. And, of course, vinyl...!

tarantula · 20/04/2007 09:23

PMSL the lads at work arte all now disscussing this avidly

bettys · 20/04/2007 09:44

On the subject of triffids I have to nerdily correct whoever said the Isle of Wight was safe.......it wasn't. It has several triffid farms which they had to clear.

In our house I'm the one with the secret zombie/triffid/when the kraken wakes plan.

bettys · 20/04/2007 09:45

Ha ha I said 'has' ('cos it's real)

harpsichordcarrier · 20/04/2007 09:45

lol at CD breaking her mn silence or this thread to defend vampires against charges of silliness

Hallgerda · 20/04/2007 09:47

I take each day as it comes and have no disaster plans whatsoever. I don't even stock up on tins of beans when we invade somewhere.

(Which is particularly negligent of me as DS1 was breeding triffids in his bedroom a few years back. Lock up your wrapping paper tubes!)

MrsBadger, I'd love to know whether your plan involves an ark. But if secrecy is part of your plan, I'll respect your privacy.

exbury · 20/04/2007 10:00

Literally LOL at the thought of zombies in crocs...

exbury · 20/04/2007 10:01

..and trying (I have a feeling I am not alone) to think of a way to ask DH if he has a ZP without him realising the question was prompted by MN...

Marina · 20/04/2007 10:09

I will struggle with that too exbury
He is still reeling from the Wottingers/ethnically cleansed hypothesis on In the Night Garden.
In fact, I think before I ask dh about our Zombie Plan I might check he isn't one first.

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 10:10

CD... you are aware that Lent finished at Easter?

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 10:11

We have half a plan for nuclear disaster,poltergeist plan, and an escape ladder in our wardrobe for fire. And dh thinks we'll be ok when London floods as we're high up. But no zombie plans!

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 10:11

How about "they mentioned on the radio..."

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 10:17

What radio station would that sound plausible for? Or wouolsd that be on the news ,reporting new gov plans?

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 10:20

Local radio station running a new feature "Random chat board topic of the day... "How many of YOU have a "zombie plan?!"""

filthymindedvixen · 20/04/2007 10:21

Betty, I think us lone voices of reason should band together so that we have a network alarm system when the Day comes....hah! They'll not be scoffing when all around is panic, and we rush to our crystal radio set in the wardrobe, twizzle some knobs, speak in code then come back and announce.''Right. They've not progressed over the Pennines yet. Pack some mint cake, loo roll and water, we'll go on foot....''

Graveyards aren't a problem. Obviously dead people aren't going to rise! Only people who have bitten by zombies turn into zombies!

Do people generally have disaster plans etc? DH keeps trying to find ways to convince me to stock up on pasta, rice, etc. I keep refusing because it will just go off. And if things did go really wrong, how on earth are we going to eat the pasta, rice etc? We don't have an aga. We don't have a camping stove. If it all goes wrong, gas and electricity will surely be cut off, right? So we have to take 72kg of rice and pasta with us on our bikes?

custy · 20/04/2007 10:42

i have a kind of what i would do in the event of not dying in a nuclear attack plan.

this includes a ram raid on local chemist.

remembering the tin opener

and killing the dog

by no means exclusive
