I'm a part of the Kings Army of the English Civil War Society and have taken part in a few battle re-enactments (see picture 1)...however, this seems like cheating, and so:
It was during the autumn of a couple of years ago that i was brought into a small room and transformed. Brains removed and replaced by gunk - blood dribbled down my throat to the strange chanting of black-robed cultists as oddly-scented incense was burnt...till eventually i WAS a zombie.
Brought by van to an area of London i'd never visited during my breathing days i shambled with my undead chums towards a bright lit place...a pub! Me like pub! Zombie-Rik like brrrr-itter...but it shut! Sad we zombie horde shamble with no place outside of Winchester pub.
Then came other zombies, shambling badly through we. We sniff. They wrong. Fat zombie get music call and answer with human-speak. They argue. They not zombie! They am human! Mmmm...brains...
We press at tasty human brains as they get together for tastey defence. One of them throw something to pub with tasty brrr-itter inside. Me Rik-Zombie happy. Me like human-brain and beer! One of them (who had red on him) jump up and down and call we stupid zombie.
Zombie horde mad! We jump up and down! WE ROAR! We chase silly human to eat tasty brains.
Very sad. Human get away. Rik-Zombie not eat human and beer.
(I should note that these were taken of me in costume as a zombie-extra for "Shawn of the Dead", which i was very pleased to be part of as it was a lot of fun - and i was even lucky enough to be paid in meat! Mmm...meat...)

I was - and can even be seen (just about) in one shot as Shawn/Simon Pegg does a legger round the corner of the Winchester...just from the back, you can see my olive-clad arm and mass of hair :D

I LOVE Shaun of the Dead.
Are you London-based?

Vote for rotting flesh, and apparent UK-ness.
Dude, you we're in Shaun of the Dead? That alone is worth a vote!
barhah, harman!
