Ever wonder who would survive a zombie apocalypse? I have the answer. Romanians. Or maybe anyone else with the skill set they possess. Allow me to explain.

On my trips to Romania to visit my girlfriend’s family, I’ve realised quite a lot. Mainly, that I am, for all intents and purposes, mostly superfluous. Or as my Dad liked to say, as useless as teets on a bull. Or I suppose nipples on a man. Choose your metaphor.
