Hip hip, ACHOO... Hip hip, ACHOO. :-D<br /><br />@Louise – Tis true, I did call you that, cos you is smart... aintcha?<br /><br />@Jason – Thank you, I am really pleased with the way this month's stories have been received, the feedback has been very supportive. Next week, my daughter ( ^^^The one who threw down the gauntlet in the first place ^^^) is guest posting on here, then after that I am going to have to get my thinking cap back on and drag myself away from the undead.<br /><br />@Stephen – Haha! Benny Percival has been working his butt off, and calling in some favours to try and get the Jazzombies onto the stage at next year's Glaztonbury festival.<br /><br />@John – Thanks John, your idea is a really good one actually, I think you should have a go at it, it's certainly an unusual angle to work with.<br /><br />@Aidan – Thanks, when I was writing it I was visualising some kind of massive basement layout, with a cell block, and staffed by harassed-looking men in lab coats.Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-28148988770413618872011-05-01T18:49:49.371+01:002011-05-01T18:49:49.371+01:00My view of science has always been one of those di...My view of science has always been one of those dirty ones, a tangled mess of rigorous notes and reports wrapped around happenstance.

I'm also not sure if it wouldn't be a bit cheeky, as I haven't participated in the rest of the alphabet month.<br /><br />@Mike – Thanks, the idea is by no means original though, I think the common cold saved mankind in “The war of the worlds” But they didn't have serum 420J to boost it though. :-D<br /><br />@Harry – This wasn't actually the fifth one I wrote for the month, but I saved it for last just for that reason. Cheers Harry. :-)<br /><br />@Sonia – Hi Sonia, and thank you. My talented daughter wrote a slightly different, and better ending to it just to show me how it should have been done though. (Of course I couldn't publish her version, she might have sued me.) :-D<br /><br />@Chuck – Thanks Chuck, I'm going to have to leave zombie stories alone for a while now, and get my muse back up and running. I would like to think that I'll still be posting next April, and then I can have another zombie month, maybe a sequel could materialise then.<br /><br />@Tim – Hahaha! Now wipe that smirk off your face Tim, I've already been to the patents office with the formula for serum 420J (sneezes included) :-D<br /><br />@Helen – Hi Helen, I think all this is gonna take a massive re-training programme to get the cured people back to work though. :-)<br /><br />@FAR – Thanks, That's something worth thinking about, I think with some of them, it would be better to leave them as zombies.<br /><br />Haha!
