The village that we live near is said to be the last place in Ireland that the tradition of settleing scores on St. Patricks day with the shtick was held. Although I'd say that most small villages would claim such a colourfull anecdote.
Think I might go out and cut me a new shtick!

Has anyone mentioned archery? Reusable ammo; slow moving targets; easy to maintain; silent and so on.

Got a full set of ex cop riot armour from e bay. 40th birthday present. very nice. With body armour on and visor down I am pretty much invulnerable to blows and blunt weapons. My birthday party was protesters v's riot police. It was exhilerating to be able to just absorb punnishment that would have put me on my arse, even in hospital.
Back of the legs and buttocks vulnerable to crawling Zedz.
Bit in the arse, what a way to go!

Dude I'm sooooo jealous - is it like the gear the Cabbie in 28 days later has? I have some old NBC gear, but riot gear - great for parties. I'm putting some new preferences and searches on Ebay immediately. aw ****, just saw the link...Bomb!

lederhosen...then you'll be invulnerable - Go Fritz!

The seller I got the riot armour from goes by the name gsxrbikerlad39
He has some nice kit. The body armour was pretty easy to find.

LEDERHOSEN! I'd be the fruityest zombie hunter of them all! I was thinking more of kevlar chainsaw trousers

Hmmm... It's worth experimenting with come the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse, but I'm not sure the arrow will cause sufficient trauma to the brain to render the zombie inert. What if you just mix-up it's language center and you end up with a zombie that only moans consonants or some such?

These trousers have kevlar in the arse? Just what king of chainsawing do people do to make this a requirement? Chainsaw juggling? Gay Zombies?
