What a load of twaddle! www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/ne ... d-end.html www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-20795283 Just been watching the BBC feature on the Mayan prophecy and all I can do is a massive facepalm. Meteors, rogue planets, epic volcanic eruptions - please. We would have seen or detected these kind of things by now. My calendar ends in 11 days, does that mean we won't wake up on 1 January? However I hate to be a grumpy so-and-so, so will any preppers out there be celebrating this once in a lifetime event in their own special way?

Pot, kettle? We know that the world is going to end tomorrow as much as you know your God exists.

What, like evidence of that god bloke you keep rattling on about?

Talk about twaddle

You wouldn't yourself subscribe to an equally twaddlesome tale about how the world will end, though - would you?

No come on, in all seriousness, are we all really going to burn up in a big fireball tomorrow ?

I need to know, theres stuff that I want to do tonight if I don't have to answer any awkward questions in the morning, can someone get back to me quickly please...

I refuse to drag this off-topic and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for even going there.

Seeing how you're always claiming I run away from your questions, my answer to that is no.

I've just had a turkey sandwich, pulled a Xmas cracker with myself, and am gonna pop across the road and shag my mates 17 year old daughter, just in case.

The Mayans at no point predicted the end of the world, it is merely the end of the long count calender after which another will begin, as it already has on numerous occasions. Do you think the world is going to end at the end of December? Its the same principle.

There is however a prediction that the world will enter a '6th age' as we are now in the 5th. This is not pinned to the 21st and does not predict the end of the world, merely the start of a new era.

The media has taken these SEPARATE events, linked them and sensationalised them. Unfortunately, society will believe anything and follow it like sheep.

They're always a bit of a let down these end of the World larks, I was due to make a mint when the Millennium Bug bit.

Also, having just taken delivery of six cases of red booze from my Italian chum in Tuscany I'm going to be a bit pushed to polish them all off.

I've been badgering my wife for a threesome all week, but she won't even budge for the apocalypse. Vanilla, she is.

I don't even think it's the media. They're simply reporting on some of these loony groups who are certain we're all gonna meet a fiery end tomorrow. Those groups have been spinning this rubbish for many, many years, churning out books, websites and youtube videos by the thousand, while the media have only really reported on it very occasionally and a couple of documentaries have cropped up.

What's happened is believers that the apocalypse is approaching via whatever means (Niburu, solar flares, super-volcanoes, various religious apocalypses), and some 'preppers' have heard what they want to hear in the Mayan long count and tagged their beliefs on, conveniently ignoring the actual facts of the long count.

Very true, Niburu amuses me in particular. If it were true we'd have seen it in the sky weeks ago.

Do you want me to pop round?

Pft. Not [ithat[/i kind of threesome. Obviously.

OK, I'll make a four up and bring the neighbours daughter?

She's 17, right?

Lights on or off ?

Yes, is that too old for you?

I'm off to see Morrissey tonight. How apt.

I think if WIZEB is planning to take part, off. If he just wants to watch, we can keep them on.

Don't you want to see your lass multi-orgasm for the first time in years?

Erm....you mentioned the world ending tomorrow was a load of twaddle. I happened to mention it was like religion, twaddle - I'm not ashamed to mention two equal, valid opinions on a load of twaddle.

I agree that religion is twaddle.
