OK. Its not really! But I suspect people are waiting.

So, what skills can you give that will be useful come the day.

Shooting? Land management? Construction?

Can help with all three really, I have four shotguns and plenty of cartridges, could cultivate and live of the land easily, always hedgerow harvesting and eating pigeons and the like and construction, I am a builder. So all bases covered there, I think I would do rather well in an apocalyptic situation. Oh I also a Scout master so have a good grasp of basic survival skills.

In your Land Rover?

I'm a motivator - I create circumstances and mindsets that allow people to perform to their optimum.

Slow and lumbering zombies, or fast and agile zombies? Just trying to work out if I'm eaten within the hour or the day.

I'm a project manager. Whatever you lot get up to I'll monitor the "Key Performance Indicators" so that we all have a good idea how the apocalypse is going.

I'm also asthmatic so I'll be dead first time I have to exert myself once the medicine runs out.

I could be the plucky one that everyone likes but drowns 5 mins before the last zombie gets killed and the world is safe again.

I have full access to a working farm - tractors, ploughs, combines, diggers etc. Along with this comes the obligatory scrap and a welder. I could (in theory relatively easily) come up with some McGyver-esque combat vehicle, and then grow some food. I'm sure there's a shotgun or two in a cabinet somewhere too...

I was once a rather decent shot, and I still have my crossbow.

However, I fear with no steaks, burgers, pizza or Chinese takeaways operating, it will not be worth living...

I can teach people to walk like a zombie, because that's what I do.

I'm a bit of a sarcastic bugger.

If anyone gets up themselves, I can take them down a peg or two.

That'll help to keep a balance.

It is now a block of flats. I found this out during the last zombie apocalypse two weeks ago or so.
That cost me a pink Noble and a fleet of pink 4x4s. (Don't ask, it involved gay zombies. I do not wish to talk about it.)
