Great to have a fellow Brit post and I loved the picture haha.
Sean of the Dead is a fantastic film and I loved the part where they are going through his venal (is that the right spelling?) music collection to fling at them
One of my mates who's come to visit me while in hospital and knowing I'd have lots of time on my hands encouraged me to read the following book: "The Zombie Survival Guide: complete protection from the living dead" by Max Brooks... which is turning out to be a really deadly serious book on survival by someone who is for better of a word 'weird'... but it's proved quite entertaining and I've been getting tips hehe.
Currently on the chapter discussing weapons and the impracticality of guns and chainsaws due to infinite ammo/fuel and the 'noise attracts more zombies' scenario so your idea of blunt instruments is certainly in the right direction.
As for the army... '28 days/weeks later', 'dawn of the dead' and 'the crazies' would put me off going near any military encampments.

It would be really scary, in reality. 'o.O Why are we so intrigued by this? Anyone care to give a psychoanalysis on this anomaly? I'd wager that we don't really tend to get the chance to be survivalists, but it's kinda how we're wired, via nature, so we create scenarios and fantasize about them, watch movies, read books, and possibly more, in order to feed that survivalist part of us; sound plausible? Probably exasperated by my OCD. xD

I think it does have a lot to do with the media of today... news articles and popular movie culture instils fear of this or that crisis happening (virus/meteor/some nut with nuclear weapons) and it has kinda tuned some people into thinking about the 'what if'... and rather than be scared... just prepare on the off chance they'd be lucky enough to get through the initial 'crap hitting the fan' stage.
