what would you do?

me and a friend decided a while ago that we would meet at some police station in Holborn where the armoury is. i'm not too sure of its location though, and so this isn't the best idea.

i think i'd do a lot of looting and steal either a hardass van or a BMW/Mercedes and drive away. far away. to the country. somewhere. also find guns or massive machetes. yes.

cricket bat

OH YEAH


heavy though.

but that has pros and cons.

i think a machete AND a handgun are my preferred weapons.


handguns are rubbish

they're too inaccurate.

you, my dear, need to read The Zombie Survival Guide.


i have it!

meh, i've got good aim.

thank the lord for Time Crisis.


I don't want to be relying on you to shoot the bad guy

whose climbed on my back and trying eat my brains.


looked back on my zombie survival guide after saturday night...

"Blades don’t need reloading."


:D

i have that as a day-to-day calender :D


On the roof anyone?

have a picnic an d throw pavement slabs at them till they get bored or die


roof tiles*

Mistake 2 in a row :(


Are you stoned?


get a snow plough

attach it to the front of the car as a zombie plough.

then i'd arm myself with spades, baseball bats, cricket bats, etc. to fuck some zombie cunts up. i'd rather get up close and personal with them instead of shoot them or something.


That is

INCREDIBLE!


you're all so violent

I would run away to cornwall and live in the wilds eating plants like Ray Mears.


:D


i guess

the smart thing to do would be to find somewhere isolated which was uninhabited before and try to settle there.

but it would much more fun to do shooting practice on them....well. not so much practice. just shooting.


I'd tool up

and start a guerilla outfit and take the fight back to the zombies. I'd blast as many of the fuckers as possible or steal a helicopter and get 28 Weeks Later on their ass. If I was overwhlmed, I'd just blow me brains out


i like the 'blow me brains out' thing

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRS!"

wouldn't it be the best movie ever if each of these survival techniques crossed paths?


the correct answer, of course,

is you head north, especially if you live in the south of england. head towards scotland or north wales or maybe ireland. the south east, in particular, would be an absolute death trap of an area.


since i'm already north, i don't have to move

but why go north? if you live in the south of england, you'd be able to attempt and escape to mainland europe.


how would that be any better?

the netherlands and germany are as densely populated as the south of the UK! it would only help if you could make it to the alps, and that's probably further than heading towards scotland.


plus

in the event of a class 4 infestation, the north would be far easier to secure and cleanse of the infected, allowing for the neccessary buildup to retake the rest of the country and OH MAN THEY NEED TO HURRY UP WITH THE MOVIE OF WORLD WAR Z


I seem to recall that one of your plans

involved getting up to the top of Wood Green shopping city and then picking zombies off from there in relative safety?

Although the thought of heading to Wood Green fills me with enough dread as it is, let alone with added zombies.


yeah

there are flats up there. living quarters PLUS good defensive opportunities PLUS a nearby bagel shop to raid. shouldn't be sniffed at!


I talk about this very often.

I'd probably drive down into the countryside. Take a load of food. Then eventually get on the motorway and drive until I found a service station. Stock up on loads of food there. Rob the bandits just in case the country ever starts up again, and then keep just driving here and there, with the radio on, hoping Chris Ecclestone has a band of crazed soldiers ready to help me.


find some where

the safest place would be out of the country so i would make friends with pilot and fly out of the counrty i might nick a van to get there and mad like mad taking out as many zobies as possable


no way

id go to the winchester and re enact shaun of the dead.

in seriousness, id probably go and steal a lorry, and tug an audi convertable behind it just because i can. Load it with food and looted electrical appliances and take it to an army base somewhere. If army base is deserted, i have a lot of tanks and guns to play with. Id ditch the lorry, load the tank up with stuff, mnybe nick a lugger and then go around the country shooting down landmarks.


fast zombies or slow zombies?

traditionally, all zombies were slow but there's been a slew of films suggesting they might actually be fast


george romero

says zombies aren't fast.


under romero rules

they should be slow.

the ones in 28 days later (not real zombies blah blah blah arguements aside) should be fast.


blah blah blah :)

I'd prefer fast zombies though. EXCITE!


kill myself

am i the only person who would do this?


I probably would

It would be better than moving to Cornwall in search of safety.


my plan

is to get to wales.
there’s an island just off the coast by tenby called caldey island.
its a religious retreat and there’s a monastary there. the monks make fudge(no gay jokes please).

first, we're on an island. unless zombies remember how to swim or sail, we're safe.
if this does happen and zombies get on the island the monastery is likely to be built to last and survive a fair amount of battering.

on the way to tenby there is an raf base called st athens. load up with weapons there. in fact, it's likely to have a sea king search and rescue helicopter so i'll get that and fly to caldey island. for further fuel and supplies there’s raf brawdy just up the coast and raf st mawgans down in cornwall(there’s a base at portreath but its a spy base, not much supplies i imagine).

did i forget anything?


done

next?


zombies don't need to swim

they can just walk across the seabed.


no,

really?

this poses a small problem.

i suppose they'd only come if they knew we were there.


of course!

it's not like they need to breathe, or anything.

of course, you're right to say that where they exit the ocean can be totally random. in a way, this is really useful. in others, it's not - it would take potentially centuries to clean up the planet after a substantial outbreak,


but they'd float?

would they know to tie themselves down with something heavy?


they might float

depends on how far decomposed they are. if their insides filled with water they'd sink.


No helicopters at RAF St Athan

......fast jets are repaired there though, pretty tricky to self teach yourself how to fly one though and you'd probably have to land it on a road.

Oh, there's a battalion of the Parachute Regiment based there so it would probably be a good place to hide from zombies.


yeah

i worked on some of the red arrows once. one of them has(had) my initials written on the firebox :)

i have basic flight knowledge so i suppose i could fly it to brawdy, grab the sea king and come back for the rest of you.
if there was a harrier there that would be cool...


what if the monks have been turned into zombies

monk zombies are about 20 times more evil than regular zombies.


I'd invest in a nailgun.

That and a good ol' hammer and stake. Lets make it brutal.


actualy

rather good :)


water balloons


i'd hit B&Q

stock up on planks and nails as well as various DIY related weapons such as hammers, axes, spades, nailguns and saws. If possible i'd drop into the local antiques store and grab some samurai swords. Then i'd hit Sainsbury's and clean out all their foodsupplies, particularly the canned goods.

I'd then return home, board up everything and survive with the family, occasionally heading out on zombie hunting trips and zombie decimating car rides

All in all, i think it would be quite fun


misread that

as id have a barbecue.
i still think that would be an amazing idea.


I would steal a Cheiftain FV 4201

And 'hole up' somewhere down near Putney - by the bridge.

I would park my Tank underneath an apple tree, and next to a garden hose, in doing this I would be able to survive for around 6 months before I shitted myself to death.

I would keep my hawk eyes on Putney bridge, and as soon as I saw a clutch of those undead fuckers I would loosen off a round or 2 of the brenn gun. Just to wake them up, let them know where I was.

then I would drive over them all.


We hole up speedily in my bedroom,

board up the entrances, remove my vastly proportioned bedroom window and lean a variety of rifles outwards towards the maze of gardens before us as we wait patiently for an array of multicultural zombies to begin leaping fences on their pursuit of unaffected flesh.


I never really considered what would happen

*when* we ran out of ammunition. I suppose i should tout de suite.


i'd make an

Anti-Zombie-Racism group and try to make peace with the zombies.
I'd like to think that I'd put time to start one up, but the truth is I'd probably just end up making one on facebook... if it still exists.


id sit in the middle of a field

and blast out the new supergrass single.

all dead-o's would combust from boredom

zinger.


Looting!

become a pirate. yeh.


Looting?

What good would a new set of GHDs be when the zombie apocalypse arrives in MK Emmi?!
:D


Are you implying that GHD's would be top of my list?

You sayin I'm shallow, or wot?!


Nah!

I'm just suggesting that being a glamorous type you wouldn't see the minor inconvenience of a zombie apocalypse as sufficient reason to let your standards of personal grooming slip!

X


Glamorous type?! :p

But I'm a pirate!
*that's my other gemini speaking....
x


Oh yes!

....would that be the 'open minded, nimble, experimental' Gemini?!

X


I was thinking.....

nimble! lol :)
x


Oh you said nimble.

I didn't see that.
Did I mention blonde?!


Actually, I know what I would do now

I would go to the supermarket and steal their entire stock of something inessential but loved, like booze or chocolate. Then I'd be the Chocolate and Gin Dealer and get mega mega rich by going round the zombie bunkers and selling at vastly inflated prices


To spend on what?!

If there is one thing that zombie movies have taught us it is that fuel, canned food and ammunition are the only things worth having!


Vodka and ice cream

from my rival the vodka and ice cream dealer.


I HAS PLAN.

Step 1: Take over supermarket (tinned food and stuff)

Keep Z's out, kill as many as possible.

Step 2: Two weeks later, go on the rampage using spike-laden supermarket delivery truck and anything that can CAVE-IN THE FACE. Head for nearest military base for explosive supplies.

Step 3: GUNZ. FUNZ. (alwaysalways with back-up pointy-stick)

In short. Hunt the fuckers down. Where's the fun in hiding?


...

Good plan. We should decide which supermarket to meet at though. Safety in numbers an all.

I would pick the Sainsburys in Bethnal Green.

1) It's right opposite the hospital = medical supplies.

2) It's surrounded by drug dens = guns.

3) I hear some zombie electronica band will be playing at one of the many venues nearby.

It's win/win.


I'd pick

whatever was closest, tbh. Zumbys?


i would suggest the one in vauxhall

plenty of gunz in the local area, and some highly defendable blocks of flats directly opposite.


plus, it's a riverside location

with good transport links into central london and the city.


...

South of the river though? You = on crack.


It would help get you through

the unending horror of living in a zombie-filled world.


Because you're going to be

the only individual with that particular survivality objective?! There will be supermarket rebellion as crowds of enraged shoppers leap en masse upon the most favorable cereal brand.

you plan fale.


Supermarket arguments

regarding who gets what cereal will be decided by a round-robin system of ro-sham-bo.

In the event of a tie, both participants get the contents of the fresh deli and a map to rival superamarché to fend for themselves.

Thems the rules. MY PLAN WIN.


I don't think the DiS survival

rate would be very high


compare to..?


good question

let me have a think about that


we'd all sit here posting our every move

complete with related LOLcat pictures.


fucking run.

find a group of people. band together.

I have a fencing sabre and a shitload of tinned food, so that would do until I got hold of real supplies.
