We haven’t moved since my last post. We’re bored, and tired. I’ve had two people on lookout, checking both ends of the train.
Why oh why didn’t I pack the monopoly?
Bored - George Lowry
June 27th, 2011 by George Lowry at 8:22 pmA long day - George Lowry
June 26th, 2011 by George Lowry at 10:30 pmIt’s been a hell of a long day. We hauled our way up to Pwllheli and back again at 25mph, just incase anything was on the line. Thankfully everything was clear. We came back slightly faster, but we’re afraid that other people may have a similar idea to us and be coming the other way – this railway only has one line with a few passing places.

Escape from Aber - Henry Fable
June 25th, 2011 by Henry Fable at 3:46 pmA lot can happen in a week…
Last Friday all of our internet went down. No amount of rebooting the router would fix it, and none of us had mobile internet, which sounds silly in the world of today, but we were all either too broke to buy new phones or too stuck in our ways to care for them. Read the rest of this entry »
Anne Here - Leopold Whitehead
June 24th, 2011 by Leopold Whitehead at 2:43 pmHiya,
Anne Typing – Leo’s asked me to post for him. He burned his hand pretty badly trying to replace the thermostat in the boiler. Haven’t had hot water for over a week now! Internet has broken and Leo hasn’t been able to play on his xbox which has been great. Currently making do on a little USB 3G thing he had stuffed in a box of old computer junk.
Not allowed to browse the internet much now incase we use it all up. Says vodaphone pay as you go on the side so don’t know why we can’t just top it up.
Deadies have gone, but we still can’t go outside. (Because Leo says so 😛 ). We’re out of books and rice so VERY FED UP.
Anne

Bloody router… - Jim Cambell
June 19th, 2011 by Jim Cambell at 12:18 pmThe Harvester has free WiFi, but we’re not getting anything. I’m having to resort to 3G for internet at the moment until we get it online. We’ve tried everything to get it going. Well, I say everything, mainly turning it off and back on again several times.
I’m surprised 3G is working. I hope my provider aren’t still forcing data caps!
We’re debating firing up some of the grills so we can have a proper meal. But then it’d make to much noise. Looking at the menus sure as hell aren’t helping either.
Hello from Birmingham - Jim Cambell
June 16th, 2011 by Jim Cambell at 9:42 pmHi Henry, Leo and Tom. Thanks for letting me post on here. My name’s Jim, and I’m from Harborne, just a few miles from Birmingham City Centre. Things here are bad.
Really bad.
I’m holed up in The Harvester on the Hagley Road at the moment with a handful of others. I was here when the panic started. My house is only a mile away, so I kept thinking I’ll go when everyone else had left.
That was the plan anyway. Outside, everywhere is just road blocked from abandoned cars and road wrecks from collisions There’s no chance I can drive back home. I’m just glad I had my smart phone on me.
We’ve barricaded the doors with what we could, mainly heavy wooden tables and chairs. It seems to have done the trick for now, but I honestly don’t know how long it will hold up against all those…things….outside. (Are we using the Z word?)
I know I’ll have to make a move sooner or later. My house is only a 40 minute walk away. It’s just so tempting to go for it.
Incessant Murmuring - Henry Fable
June 16th, 2011 by Henry Fable at 3:37 pmThe sound is unbearable. Murmuring, moaning, screeching, scratching…
We are still safe for the time being, they are in the basement, but with no way in to the ground floor flat we are safe. Remember that we knocked down the stairs from the ground floor to the first floor too.
The noise is deafening, just constant noise. Enough to drive you crazy.
Still here - Leopold Whitehead
June 16th, 2011 by Leopold Whitehead at 1:51 pmHi Henry, We’re still here.
Dozens of them in the street. They’ve stopped trying to door and just mill around now. A few broke into the flat beneath ours through the window – not sure if there was anyone there. Didn’t hear anything.
Nearly out of frozen food now. Down to dried and tins by the weekend probabaly. Anne has read all the books in the house twice. She’s going a bit nuts now. Need to get out soon.
Henry – my advise, brace any openings at ground level. They’ll push themselves through windows without a second thought but can’t seem to manage climbing.
They’ve scratch my car and knocked the wingmirrors off. Bastards.
Surrounded - Henry Fable
June 16th, 2011 by Henry Fable at 8:45 amAre these things on some sort of ticking timer? We’ve woken up and we’re pretty sure they know we’re in here, there is a good number of the things around the building, it looks like they are in the basement, and I fear they may try to get to the ground floor. It could get a bit tricky in a minute…
Leo, please post soon to let us know you’re OK, it’s somewhat distressing that we’ve not heard from you in almost two days…
Tom, well done! It’s a shame it didn’t seem to do anything 🙁 If any of us get into a sticky situation, we need to be able to know how to disarm these beings…
Boom….headshot? - Tom Jones
June 15th, 2011 by Tom Jones at 11:02 pmSorry Henry, I had to give it a go. my house is a dorma-bungalow so I could take a good shot from the top window without exposing myself too much.
Found my air-rifle and put a shot right through his/it’s (?) head, but to no avail. Knocked him flying, but he just got straight back up.
Luckily he couldn’t see where the shot came from.
🙁 I feel sorry for the neighbours – they have kids that walk up and down the lane to catch the school bus. I’m dreading the morning now.
