Are we prepared for a zombie invasion?

    Are there any plans in Ireland for this eventuality, or is it the usual "sure it'll be grand" attitude?:confused:

    UK city 'unprepared' for zombie invasion


    A city council in Britain has been forced to admit it has no plans to deal with a zombie invasion.
    A “concerned citizen” used freedom of information laws to reveal what plans Leicester City Council had to deal with a Dawn of the Dead -style attack.
    Amused by the request, the council had to admit no such plans existed. But a council spokeswoman reassured other concerned citizens that while there were no specific plans for a zombie invasion, aspects of its emergency plan might be able to be used in such a situation.
    The request, signed by a “concerned citizen”, asked: “Can you please let us know what provisions you have in place in the event of a zombie invasion?
    “Having watched several films it is clear that preparation for such an event is poor and one that councils throughout the kingdom must prepare for.
    “Please provide any information you may have.”
    Lynn Wyeth, the council’s head of information governance, said: “We’ve had a few wacky ones before but this one did make us laugh.
    “To you it might seem frivolous and a waste of time, but to different people it actually means something. Everybody has their own interests and their own reasons for asking these questions.”

    Just get everyone to occupy the upper floors in all the abandoned ghost estate apartment blocks, and wait out the invasion. Problem solved.

    I'm prepared, I've picked out my fort (a castle I've access to) and can get food. I also have access to 1 rifle and may be able to access several more plus shotguns (these aren't confirmed though).

    And burn down Tipperary, most of the structures are wood and straw so it'll be simple enough.

    Always the slow zombies. These 21 century 'zombie' things are a fucking joke.
