I'm STILL annoyed that the Radio 1 reviewer gave away the entire plot of the first X Files movie when it came out. What a total nob.

I follow you, but what if he wants stamina?

Sorry, I genuinely didn't mean to be rude. But it would surely be insulting your intelligence to pretend I am not a steakhound for the sake of some fatuous politesse. I suspect meat eating would need its own thread to avoid derailing this one.

Sounds interesting - just checked it out on amazon. What kind of writing is it? Historical fictional narrative? History-book style? The book traces the development of the religious beliefs and behaviors that led to the Holocaust and the erecting of a large cross at Auschwitz. The ideas of important secular-religious figures and institutions are presented - people such as Jesus, Paul, Constantine, Ambrose, Augustine, Anselm, Abelard and Heloise, Thomas Aquinas, Voltaire, the Popes, the Kings, Luther, Alfred Dreyfus and LaCroix, and so on. Some of these represent missed opportunities to do better. There is some discussion of Jewish religious thought and figures. The book does have a narrative aspect as well. Carrol presents the history as an illumination of his own personal religious journey. It is a very good read. That does sound interesting. Maybe I'll ask for it for Christmas.

My limit at present is 13 straight, but my chest doesn't connect properly in the middle at the moment. I told my doctor I'd dtried pushups and he looked as if I'd confessed to shooting bottle rockets at the Pope. If you're cracking out those kind of numbers you should definitely get down to your local National Guard unit, mate. Maybe JROTC. Probably the latter. You'll find the phys a breeeze.

Well, obviously.

I definitely agree that it's bad to try and drink your problems away. I'm doing a fair of that myself at present. BUt it is at least partly sociable. I'm not drinking on my own.

Ah. that is true, Rosbjerg. I don't know about zombies being afraid of teh light, but presumably one could significantly disable those surrounding a comppound with a low powered and silent laser pointer?

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it.

Yes, I confidently epxect him to become a beer-gutted wonder like me in due course.

Seriously? Yeast is a fungus, does that roll it into the animal kingdom? A vegan couldnt eat a mushroom either? Hey, pal, they lost me at not punching monkeys.

If the alcohol content rises above a certain level then the yeast dies. I don't actually agree with veganism, but points for effort.

I disagree that leaving the city is a good plan. Simply because it would involve movement in the period of greatest panic. Mass hordes of refugees flooding non-urban areas, drawing zombies to them, and locust-ravaging small communities. Incidentally, a recent report (seriously) stated it was a question of 'when' not 'if' we can expect some form of epidemic in the UK. Expected casualties from the epidemic were rated as being around 35,000 dead, although the full consequences of the disruption would be almost impossible to estimate.

Oh it's not THAT bad, I can still get a pint for under

I recently had an argument with young lad who maintained, perfectly seriously, that Genesis were better than Aerosmith.

Well, the "Too too solid flesh" soliloquoy becomes almost a speech on war, if you imagine him doing it while walking patrol in a massive killer robot. EDIT: Known to the rest of the human race as the "To be or not to be" soliloquoy Further edit: I've just checked the soliloquoy in question and I'm talking rubbish. It's not the too too solid flesh one, and neither are to do with war in the slightest. However, reading it did make me wonder: If death is so bad, and live so good, why do so few come back?

Mind you, Guildford is bloody expensive. It's nearly London prices.

I dunno. I know a guy who says "cool bananas".

Oh, for sure. I like Tooheys, if we're talking Oz beer. Although it's VERY malty.

I've been giving some thought to rations for the forthcoming zombie apocalypse. I know how many calories I should eat, but I don't know how few I can get by on, plus assuming a one month ration limit, whether I need any proteins and vitamins. Anyone have any good advice on this?

...And presumably in the last year you discovered a decent beer?

Boorons? It's not anti-semitic to hate Nazis.

ArmA didn't really offer anything that I could see, because the enemy were too smart. Same problem as Flashpoint. Multiplayer, however, it's pretty cool.

BAT box? As in Bela Lugosi?
