1st of all we know that all zombies are slow and the most simplest solution is to out walk them. 2nd of all those without a zombie plan should be killed because of their smug belief of the point of having a zombie plan, and denial is the 1st stage of death which means he/she is a zombie!!!!!! Last of all my zombie plan is to infect all the people I hate if I get infected, or I will take my kitty and flee to a super rich dude's private island and kill him and take over the island!!! ^^

FAIL ITS 28 Days/weeks later. My idea is get from a bigger city with some people to an area like a small town. With about a half years worth of supplies. I would then begin to build a fort around my place of living. <-Win

Personally, I'd just goto Texas. I've had discussions with people and the reality of 28 days was because it's in the UK. They have virtually NO GUNS in the UK.
In the US in general and particularly states like Texas, most homes have a gun. Here is the "news of the day on zday in Texas":

"Earlier today 3 people were infected by an as yet unknown virus which caused them to go on a murderous rampage. Fortunately, Jim Bob McDuffy was carrying his 357 magnum and sorted the whole thing out in a matter of seconds by killing all 3 victims. Jim has been admonished for killing the 3 victims and will be serving 4 hours of community service, along with the 3-1/2 grueling hours he spent in the Weed County Correctional Facility."

Jim had this to say after learning he stopped a zombie apocalypse: "I enjoyed firing my gun in defense of the American people. Maybe I'll get laid outta all this."

Onto the weather......Suzie, take it away.

Gaming, it's wuts for dinner :P

Ah well.
Hmm, with all these survival plans, it's a wonder there's been no Zday RPGs, kinda Fall Out 3 style.

I'm not baggin on any country. I'm just pointing out that with guns readily available to the masses, the zday just wouldn't happen.

Lucky for those of you in the UK, that day will never come.

And that's where you don't understand the basic right to bear arms. We have the right to own and operate firearms because our founders knew that one day we may have to fight off another tyrannical state government like we did with the British. Gun control works! Just ask Hitler, Stalin, Kim Jong-il!

The second amendment revised: The best way to fend off a z-day invasion. As well as possibly wipe out the human race.

After all, who would you pick to win, the slow shambling zombie, or the bear charging him with an assault rifle?

Then we have to consider the movement type of zombie we're facing down. Are we facing down runners? (zombies that run, and are very fast) then I will allude to my previous statement of get somewhere high, block off the routes up, and camp out until it's safe. Are we facing down the slow, shambling dead? (a la night of the living dead) If so, i'll group all survivors and supplies i can find, and make a small safe house. Preferrably somewhere armored with good primeter defenses.

Finally, we have to take into account the zombie's habits. Are these zombies roamers? (i.e. stand/shuffle around until they find tasties) well, then i'll move carfully and avoid large groups to avoid mishap. Are these trackers? (once they get your scent, they follow you until they get you) Well, i'm going to kill everyone of them i run into, as the more i ignore, the larger the group hunting me down becomes. Are they the kind that have some form of empathetic link to their brethren? (i.e. when you see one, more are bound to show up for some unknown reason, coming for you) Well, then i wont stop moving until i get to a safe place (generally a good tactic overall, though)

SO all in all, my plan changes as my enemy changes. If i fix my plan to rigidly, it may not work.
Ah you must read 'The walking dead' comics dontcha
i would probably do the same lol

From Wikipedia:

Tetrodotoxin poisoning
Fish poisoning by consumption of members of the order Tetraodontiformes is extremely serious. The skin and organs of the pufferfish can contain levels of tetrodotoxin sufficient to produce paralysis of the diaphragm and death due to respiratory failure.[14] Toxicity varies between species and at different seasons and geographic localities, and the flesh of many pufferfish may not usually be dangerously toxic. It is not always entirely fatal, however; at near-lethal doses, it can leave a person in a state of near-death for several days, while the person continues to be conscious. It is for this reason that tetrodotoxin has been alleged to be an ingredient in Haitian voodooism and the closest actual manifestation to zombieism in the physical world, an idea that was popularized by Harvard-trained ethnobotanist Wade Davis in a 1983 paper, and in his 1985 book, The Serpent and the Rainbow. However, this idea was dismissed by the scientific community in the 1980s, as the descriptions of voodoo zombies do not match the symptoms displayed by victims of tetrodotoxin poisoning, and the alleged incidents of zombies created in this manner could not be substantiated.[15]

Alot of people beleive Haitian voodoism rituals include this poison which helps make the person appear dead (no pulse, etc) but there is some other powder which allows uncontrolled movement etc.

Z Day is coming.... let Wal-Mart or some Drug Company get ahold of the "Zombie Juice" recipie from some old spitefull haitian eager to bring about the appocolypse!

Summers is infected
Assuming the infection was limited to the UK ala 28 Days Later, I'd want to get the hell away from the island. I live near the coast and alot of docks with alot of boats.... so my first priority would be to find a boat and get the hell away I would sail to Ireland

However if it was a worldwide kinda thing... then we will all be screwed. I will actually begin my plan right now and become an astronaut and make sure to get posted on the International Space Station, that is the only way to be safe
