I shall never ever be using them again. “Delivered on Release Day” was the boast. What is the POINT of pre-ordering something (that I could have gone to the SHOPS to get at 8am) for delivery and it doesn’t BLOODY ARRIVE.  I’m so angry. I’ve been waiting months for this game, and it was one of the most expensive I’ve ever bought, and now it’s not here. If it’s delivered tomorrow I can’t be playing it until the evening.

The Walking Dead! Argh!  Note to self. Do not watch three episodes of this before what will then be laughingly called “sleep.”

I have to say though, that I had to keep closing my eyes. I’m just capable of watching that kind of violence and gore!  But it’s watchable (in bits!) and I’ll be interested to see if the plot line regarding the zombies goes in the direction that I think it might be going.

However, I am rather baffled at the whole “oh noes, we don’t have much ammunition/tools/guns” – AMERICA IS STUFFED FULLER OF GUNS than it has zombies. This plotline works better in England where we don’t have many guns, but I’d head straight to the gun club. I wouldn’t have to go simply from house to house to find guns. Also – some kid asks “how do we know which mushrooms are safe to eat?” and the adult says “I only know of one sure way.” – er. SCUSE ME? Get a fucking book and read about it!

Question – why is Captain America’s uncredited Mexican Gardener the “bravest person from the Marvel Universe”? (from Big Bang Theory)

No guns shops at all? That does surprise me - the coverage we get over here, it looks like you can just about buy them in any high street! or supermarket!

Nope. No gun shops--and I live in a very large town. Although just down the road a bit is a city with an incredibly high gun-crime rate. The drug dealers there would probably hold out against the zombies a bit longer than us unarmed suburban dwellers.

Of everyone I know, I know of three gun owners. One is a avid deer hunter and a gunsmith. The other two are my brother and his wife--and they only bought guns because they own a pizzeria and often have large amounts of cash that they have to take to the bank.
