Wondering if I could get out of going to work...

'The left wishing death on someone. Standard.'

Oh come on, if we had to nominate someone to be swallowed up by an earthquake, Trump would be a popular choice, surely.

The world HAS ended, we just haven’t noticed!

As an aside, is nobody having potatoes dauphinois?

@OrangeGinLemonFanta

If the world is ending today I'm sacking off the diet and having cake and wine so please let me know asap, thanks.
That would trigger my acid reflux like nobodys business

The window is any time between 13:00 yesterday and 13:00 tomorrow (BST), as that's the period covered by 21 June worldwide.

Samtsirch · 21/06/2020 10:25

There’s still hope then....😂😂😂

Craiglang · 21/06/2020 10:25

Damn it, have I missed it? I'm late for everything. Can't believe I overslept and missed the end of the world. Typical!

LavaLamp5566 · 21/06/2020 10:30

The world was meant to end every year for the past 20 years. Good grief

I love how people jump on to this "the world is ending" trend. It's amusing to say the least 😂😂😂

Pelleas · 21/06/2020 10:39

There’s still hope then

This is only the Mayans. If you go with Nostradamus a giant asteroid is due to hit next year.

Jeremyironsnothing · 21/06/2020 10:49

Better get practicing with the potato methods before next year then. At least we have time to perfect them, rather than rushing it today.

Connie222 · 21/06/2020 10:52

I’m usually up for talk of Armageddon and I would love to se it in my lifetime (because I’m very odd) but Christ sake, not now.

I’m still in the throws of morning sickness at almost 30 weeks. I am not spending my last day on this earth with my head down the loo.

MrsMozartMkII · 21/06/2020 11:00

Oh bugger. I didn't know it was ending at some point yesterday / today / tomorrow.

A definitive time would be good as I could nip to the shops and get all the lovely munchies that my IBS usually baulks at. Not doing that if there's a chance I'll be suffering the consequences ConfusedShock

Rockbird · 21/06/2020 11:03

Now this is really annoying because I started painting my bedroom yesterday and I really hate decorating. If the world ends today I'm going to be pissed off like never before. Angry

CathyComesHome · 21/06/2020 11:05

I don’t peel potatoes for anything unless it’s something fancy like dauphinois. Or maybe little sautéd potatoes.

mencken · 21/06/2020 11:08

Just because the world's ending, there's no excuse for poor vegetable preparation!

Now THERE'S the logo for the MN t-shirt! Genius.

Toilenstripes · 21/06/2020 11:20

I’ve just put a roast on so I hope it can wait.

psychomath · 21/06/2020 11:25

Just as well I made this yesterday then - couldn't have asked for a better last meal. Now I can't eat all day though or I'll ruin it.

HeronLanyon · 21/06/2020 11:26

I’ve taken a half watermelon out of the fridge to come up to room temperature for a feta olive and watermelon salad. Please tell me if I should need to just eat it now, still cold.

SerenityNowwwww · 21/06/2020 11:28

Who said it was ending? I was looking forward to the lunar eclipse.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 21/06/2020 11:29

psycho that looks marvellous and sounds delicious!

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 21/06/2020 11:31

It's really inconsiderate to have identified the day but left out the time. Even BT manage to narrow things down to morning or afternoon now. Perhaps Mayan civilisations were run by a council heating contractor.

HeronLanyon · 21/06/2020 11:32

Actually what am I thinking if end is really nigh (I remember the guy who walked Oxford street with the placard!) then I may go for a panhagarty. My lovely old late dad made that many a Sunday for us kids . . As long as I have time to pre heat the oven ???

ErrolTheDragon · 21/06/2020 12:33

Thanks Pedantically, it should be 'throes' but in this context 'throws' is unfortunately apt.
TSSDNCOP · 21/06/2020 12:44

It would be the end of the world here if I roasted the potatoes with their skins on.

TSSDNCOP · 21/06/2020 12:49

Haven't the Mayans pulled this shit before though? I seem to recall at least 3 countdowns. They're the Doomsday equivalent of Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football.

Yeah we didn't mean 2020, we meant 20:20pm some day.

crosser62 · 21/06/2020 12:56

What about rain?
It’s just that I’ve just put the washing out and if Armageddon comes with rain, I need to know.
It can go on the airer in the conservatory you see.

Disappointing as we have a lovely piece of pork roasting in the oven for tea tonight. I think my lot were looking forward to that.
