Today's Workout Thread

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?

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.

Carl

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

It might be a bit hard for us all to meet up, perhaps we should arrange chapters.
For the trousers, I think beige, flat front farrahs.

OK, that's not bad. And 'body shirts'. Very wide (or very thin) ties; nothing in between. Cravats are in. As are bow ties. Scarves (of ANY kind) are out (unless it's very cold, and only under authorisation from me (or delegate))...

Also liking the chapter idea, though we should keep that quiet (consideration of the whole terrorist thing, remember, there's no such thing as Fight Club)...

Sorry, forgot to ask, Ed, what's the Tuesday tea suggestion?

PS, I'm taking the minutes this time, but next time Mme what's her name's doing it, I'm getting a cramp in my hand and this vintage fountain pen is leaking J. Herbin Perle Noire ALL over me! Tsk!

Well if the weather is good a nice picnic I think with good wine, European cheese and fresh fruit.
And definately a row boat, sports jackets and deck shoes.

OK you're in. But do you have a contingency plan re. bad weather?
By the way, I'll (as the partisan leader) accept bad wine. There's a WAR on you know! You need to leave some of your toffee nosed affections behind!

Not sure about the deck shoes, esp if you're considering the recent fashion of wearing them sans socks with short trousers...

Wholly agree with the row boat idea, this can be our theme song:

I think that as long as we leave IOU's at the various provisioners we can take what we like. If we are facing Armageddon then why not do it in luxury.
I did think of taking a few bottles of dry cider along too.

Ok bad weather contingency:
1- clothing, woolen roll neck jumpers and tweed shooting jackets, flat caps, well waterproofed soft leather riding boots (trousers within boots). Possibly a white silk scarf, with a map of the locale drawn onto it.
2- we will commandeer the oldest house in the area, light a roaring fire, and roast some lamb with rosemary, an assortment of roast veggies, and rich gravy. Mint sauce on the side. Dessert will be sticky toffee and date pudding served with homemade custard. Real ale will be served with the meal, and port will be served after. We will play cribbage, backgammon and risk. If possible we will play maudlin music.

I think Mick should join the band. I'd rather he join first than you. I'm worried that you'll join first and either decide on what pants (or loin cloths) we wear or decide on Tuesday's tea. I'm thinking your tea would be rather bland (bread and butter butty) and your pants (or loin cloths) would be some sort of rough tweed affair. Mick's more likely to go for barbecued 'roo and leather trousers...

I can shoot with the other hand. My long range rifle comes with a bipod.

Well I was actually thinking leather kilts and blue face paint. Under yer kilt you can wear nice thick woollen socks and boots in winter. Wear them in summer if you like too, but stay away from my side of the camp when you decide to take them off. I'll be up wind of your side.


...And Signs of Life didn't go for the whole song. That should be considered poor form in a ZAPPA .

I am sure I could shoot with either hand too, whether I would hit anything is another matter, and a moot point as I wouldn't be shooting anything.
