I know a few of you have plans in case of a zombie apocalypse.
You may be interested to know that a researcher at the Open University has developed a computer programme to model such a scenario in order to determine the best survival plan.
The modelling software is available for people to download in order to run their own scenarios.
MODS: Am I allowed to post a link to the Open University Academic Site (OU.ac.uk)? |

"http://m.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/local/uni-boffins-reveal-secret-to-surviving-a-zombie-apocalypse-1-6383835
It's mostly here."
Some of it's there. There's more on the OU site, including the full research paper and more stuff about zombies. |

"I've got a 12 bore and a couple of thousand rounds. Should keep me alive long enough to make up a plan.  "
To noisy, cross bow or bow & arrow. Nice and quiet.... |

Not read the research in any of the links but it greatly depends on the nature of the virus that causes it.
I've seen models based on an airborne strain of rabies and it really is as close to a 'zombie' apocalypse in the classic sense as we could come. It would spread incredibly rapidly partly down to how it's diagnosed and also the fact there is no cure. Even though there is a series of injections available to stop it the spread would get out of hand before the first case was diagnosed.
Victims would behave much like classic zombies right up to the point of death.
If that happens, surround yourself with water, that's what I plan on doing.... |

I have a crossbow.
I also have several rifles and a couple of shotguns, they'd be last resort weapons only. You don't want to be making lots of noise if you want to survive....stealth is key. |

No need for any further research for me. I have already put in place my plan for Z Day.
First I will befriend several unfit and/or fat people. These 'friends' will act as a buffer (or buffet) to the hordes of undead. As long as I keep enough of them close I will always have time for an escape.
Do not use fire arms!
The undead are drawn to the sound, my preferred weapon is the cricket bat. It has a good weight to it and the two different sides are both useful, the flat side for batting off several zombies, the pointed side for cracking a skull open when in combat with a single zombie. But most importantly it is a nod to my most favourite zombie film Shaun of the Dead.
I already have my hold-up location scoped out and some stockpiling has already took place. I am not going to tell you where it is as then you might steal it. I will hold up there until all the zombies have eaten all the humans and have then ran out of fuel. As I understand it they will not die but should be in a withered and weakened state at which point I, yes MEEEE! Will defeat them and take over the whole WORLDDDDD! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA  |

One major floor in that plan.
No person left but you will still mean the end of the world.
I would suggest you keep a few women safe for breeding

"Having gorged on Walking Dead all weekend my dreams have zombies all over them!!! I'd survive. "
Fancy coming up to Scotland and helping me out as well then?
I'd repay you kindly. 
I could just see my fat arse being one of the first to get chomped...  |

I'm just hoping it happens while I'm at work - a high security triple-fenced enclave with armed guards should be ok, but I reckon we'd soon be barbecuing managers as the canteen's a bit crap...I'm hoping like hell, it doesn't start INSIDE the fence while I'm there though |

Stock up on food etc, stay indoors, wait for everyone to run to their safe place.
Sod putting yourself at risk.
Guns are only good if you have no choice. Sound will attract zombies and other undesirables |

So no doctors, butchers, running water, electric, no medicine, no internet, no petrol, no cars, no farmers.... Still that shotgun should come in handy for suicide once the hunger kicks in. |

They can try - break into the local acme armoury and get some guns...
Can they climb onto pitched roofs?
Id also be tempted to go and live on the islands up North... |

We'd just head to our local asda, break in, make sure the shutters are down and seal all the entrances.
Donuts, haribos and all the fizzy pop we can stomach!
It's not 24 hr so there'd be no zombie checkout chicks either!
