I wasn't a fan of Zombies at all before watching but became hooked on this very quickly and have enjoyed all five seasons thus, particularly the earlier stuff. Also has a brilliant bad guy in seasons 2 and 3.
What makes it not quite a top five show for me personally is that after six seasons now, there's only so much they can do. Kill zombies - find a home - home gets attacked - kill zombies - find new people to trust and so fourth. And of course there's some really slow episodes, I found series five particularly slow.
But overall it's worth a watch for sure, and not afraid to kill off a main character or two
Just a quick plug for my new book 'Alive and Kicking; The Ultimate Book of 90s Football Nostalgia' which is out now. It's basically a trip down memory lane for anyone who appreciates that era of football. Includes a few QPR references too, naturally.
I hate the snobbery that has gone into wearing football shirts to games. It doesn't matter what age you are, there should be no reason not to wear a QPR shirt to a game. It's our colours and the ground looks so much better when there's a sea of blue and white shirts.
I do agree that after a certain age you shouldn't be going out round town in them. I'm 30 and always buy the kits, but only wear them at the games and if I'm playing footy. I do tend to wear my 1990 Wegerle shirt the most though!
My biggest pet hate, and this is a no no, is grown men with names and numbers on the back. That is something that should be for kids and teenagers and that's it. There's something not quite right with a thirty something having the name of 'his favourite player' on the back of his shirt. Retro name yes, foreign team shirt with current player is just about ok, but leave it to the kids otherwise.
I know quite a few on this board dream of having adidas making QPR kits again, like the classic 80's Guinness shirts. But just take a look at this summer's adidas catalogue and see how templated the majority of their new shirts are.
If really annoys me, as it's so lazy! Why not design a different kit for every team, isn't that more 'creative' anyway? Especially when this years 'batwing' template is very dull. Just look at the designs of Southampton, Swansea, Stoke (A), Hull (A) and Bolton to name a few - all the same. While Fulham's new home and Southampton's away are also a different templated design.
From what I've seen it's only West Ham and Chelsea who've got away with it, and surprise, surprise they are the best designs from adidas this year.
I've never been a fan of Lotto until this summer, but I'd take them over a standard design from one of the bigger brands this season.
