The zombie lock expediters won't be available for quite a while in the early
days of the epidemic, and then, after a spell, they'll only do it because
"they're trying to be like us". And the next thing you know, zombie Moses
and his crew will be after our intestines.

Speaking of triffids, one of the things I couldn't get my head around, that
1970's tv series, there's a scene where there's all these newly blind folks
hanging around a supermarket, and there's this woman prepared to defend her
life for a packet of "Tide" detergent. I'm thinking, either she was
bluffing, or her powers of detection of food were pretty shitty. I mean,
there is the olfactory sense and all...

I prefer the filum to the series. But it's ages since I've seen either.

Maybe happen she was a zombie in the making. You know, acting all normal ie
being emotionally destabalized at parting with a packet of 'Tide", until she
loses herself to that zombie rhythm. The cross-over is going to be where
olfactory senses could become fuzzy. Bit of a grey area, Ollie, so I'd say
you can relax about your confusion on this matter.

Did you ever see that series "Changes"? [I think it was called] a bit like
"Outbreak" but without the monkey to cheer things up.

So, saying we were to start at the Limehouse basin, we could make it as far
as Watford probably. Not the best place to end the day with dismemberment.
Maybe it'd be better to head out to sea instead, but there aren't many
abandoned shopping malls in the North Sea. I suppose an oil rig would be a
safe bet. Or one of those wonderful sea forts... I quite fancy one of those
anyway, even without zombies and such as an incentive.

Just how long does your normal zombie outbreak last?

The crowbar, but there was an adjustable spanner in Opposing Force.

*shudder*

(You people are bringing back bad repressed memories of horrible gameplay.
In hindsight - I should have known better than to waste good money on a
product developed by ex-Microserfs...)

*shudder*

More repressed memories - this time of spending a month hiding behind a
barricade of filing cabinets in a dusty corner of BHP.

The horror, the horror...
