    Zombies on a plane..... now that reminds me of a trip back from Spain with a load of Rangers fans.....

    If you're being chased by Zombies you don't need to be faster than the Zomebies you just need to be faster than your friend/girlfriend/loved one.

    I've put this into practice, see. It wasn't a zombie, it was a dog. Unfortunately, your friend can trip you up...

    That's OK until you have multiple zombies / dogs after you.

    Then tend to just go after the first kill leaving the other one to run off...

    Who takes a bike to a Zombie fight?

    Now I know that we all like bikes right - I get it. That does not make them an ideal mode of transport when the gates of Hell have opened and the recently deceased are stumbling down the fresh foods aisles at tescos looking for people.

    In this situation you need heavy machinery - something big and noisy - preferably without a lock on the door and prone to breakdown.

    You get the other guy to drive this one way down the road - attracting the zombie plague to him - it breaks down - cue screaming / feeding blood all over the pavement stuff.

    You and Joely jump in the landy and head off for some "reloading".

    If there is one thing you have to have in the face of the undead is plenty of expendable people around to take the horrendous death instead of you.

    That's not very environmentally friendly of you! If enough people thought like that, we might lose Norfolk in 50 years time.[/b]

    That's part of the Zombie destrucion plan - remove their breeding grounds and you start to win the war.

    That's why Zombies can't climb stairs - Norfolk doesn't have any.

    We're going to run out of Landrovers - personally I would rather go for a Toyota Landcruiser - much more reliable, shotgun of course - not an automatic - they tend to jam if not well cared for, 7.62 SLR - ex army loads of them around - can put a bullet through a brick wall - I already live in a first floor flat an keep the bikes upstairs - sorted

    And that's a bad thing ?

    What if the zombies can actually ride pedal bikes?

    I would think having little forebrain activity they would not be restricted by frivolities such as feeling tired, out of breath or worrying about overdoing it, so I reckon they'd pwn you.

    Also would they go for dropped or flat bars?

    They would obvious go for flat bars, never seen a zombie look up well. I believe the neck muscles go, that explains the lolling head. On a drop they would just be staring at the ground and run into the first wall or car parked in the way. So flats I say the zombie's bars of choice

    Good point. Perhaps we should use 4*4s to move the zombies to Norfolk and then leave them running on the border while we wait for Global Warming to do its thing!

    i can't imagine they would be much cop with the gears either so unless they were on a fixie you'd probably be alright for long enough to get away

    And if they lose it their legs would simply snap off at the knees, no embarassing fast wobbly bobbing moments.

    Anyone who has bothered to read Day of the Triffids knows that you find yourself an island (Isle of White in that case), once a good solid sweep of the place is done you’re safe as houses.

    For additional thought on the subject, do watch the remake of Dawn of the Dead for the game of shooting Zombies from a roof top who look like celebrities for maximum amusement

    I don't want to think about it, I saw "28 Days Later" a while back and totally sh@t my pants.

    I can't believe I've just admitted that...<<AHEM>> THEN I WRESTLED A MAD BEAR WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND MY BACK

    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Have you not seen land of the dead though? They can walk under water.

    If you haven't, you didn't miss much.

    I love it, animatronic zombies, what's not to like? Especially the one with the flippy head. :shock:

    I've watched it four times now. I am a bit of a zombie film fanatic though. :oops:
