We could probably beat you at tug o war too.

And competitive seesawing.

Yeah, I agree. On the diet front today I ingested:

• No breakfast
• 1 cup of coffee (hand ground beans, vintage French coffee bowl, sugar, milk)
• a jar of artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil
• two 100g tins of sardines (how do they pack them so neatly in the tin?)
• part of an avocado (it was too hard)
• two Kiwi fruits
• a wedge of some sort of Italian cheese (parmesany it was)
• a whole jar of anchovies in oil
• two plungers of coffee (vintage tea cup, sugar milk)
• several 'Hollandia' Dutch Lager beers (ongoing)
• two glasses of $2.99/bottle Cab Merlot
• four cigarettes (ongoing)
• three glasses of water (water is over valued, I drink hardly any)

I'm a little embarrassed about the whole jar of anchovies and the cigarettes...

Tea (as soon as SWMBO gets on with it) is bacon and eggs...

Yes, again, I agree. There are many benefits to having some mass. But I always go back to moving one's body. My ten years in the army taught me one needs to be able to move easily, rapidly and dynamically while retaining the ability to carry heavy weights. I do (rather stupidly) consider Zombie Apocalypse scenarios where I'd need to be climbing on the roof of my house, etc. Of course, you and Mick would be mowing them down with a FBG (Fu*&ing Big Gun), whilst I'd be nimbly scurrying off to the hills to muster my loyal band of partisans who would stealthily enact acts of very mild terror (annoyances, really) on the Zombie population by way of setting charges of plastic explosives on key stress points of railway bridge girders and interrupting the (normally) steady supply of croissants to the village coffee shop. While you are mowing down zombies with your FBG à la Duke Nukem (biceps bulging), I'd be engaged in slightly more than a tête à tête with Mme Flaubert who appreciates my athletic body (as much as a bottle or five of the local Chardonnay) and sex. After all, if my memory serves, sex is a great workout. Mme Flaubert is, of course, young for her age, considering she's a Mme and not a Mle...

No well yes. And it's SO much more European and interesting...

[MickR]

My FBG is going to be used from the hills...None of this close in stuff for me mate. If it helps, I'll be watching you scurry along your roof tops through my scope and picking off the more nimble zombies that follow you ...Ed just better get a head start on you.


As an aside, for Christmas I bought myself a Longboard of the skate variety and not the surf variety. I think this is what motorcyclists do when they hit mid-life crisis...Well I can't very well go out and by a motorbike. I already have one. A car?! No the wife owns a 4WD and will soon take delivery of a top of the line Pulsar as well. There was just nothing for it. I already have a good Mountain bike, so a Longboard it had to be. Now to see how long after Christmas day it will take for me to end up in the emergency ward with a broken wrist or something . At least it means exercise up until that point though .

Whadda ya mean 'as an aside'? How can you call it an 'as an aside'? I'm talking about fit nimble footedness and you're on about standing on a board with little tiny wheels affixed to it going down a hill! I KNOW you mean 'as an aside' to mean 'let's get back on topic', but ZAPPA (Zombie Apocalypse Partisan Preparedness Activity) is key here.

Bee Tee Double You, how come you're not going to join my band? We're not 100% fixed on the uniform yet. It's going to be vintage army greens, a beret and an arm band (unsure of the colour, maybe paisley?) but we're open to suggestions on the pants (or loin cloths) and footwear...

You can also advise on tea for Tuesday nights; the rest of the time it's black tea, rabbits and sweet potatoes (and a brew made from fermented radishes spiced lightly with kale and cardamon)...

Hope this helps.

BTW, feel free to find a partisan leader in your area, they're listed in the Partisan Wiki (Library)...

Well for a start off I would stage peaceful protests, such as sit ins. And secondly if you break your wrist how are you going to shoot stuff?
