I've got plans you see and wanted to schedule them around the apocalypse. You'd think the Mayans would have narrowed it down to a time slot wouldn't you? Like delivery drivers?

You have dustmen of the apocalypse? Very tidy

MurderOfGoths · 20/12/2012 11:14

Nah, that's just punishment for watching JK!

doyouwantfrieswiththat · 20/12/2012 11:17

If Jeremy Kyle is the last judgement I've been misinformed.

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 20/12/2012 11:19

Your tv is obviously protesting. And quite right too, JK is an obnoxious twunt.

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/12/2012 11:23

Depends where you are...world will be ending in Australia in 37 minutes,or at least at some point fairly shortly afterwards.

I took tomorrow off work, just in case.Much as I like my work colleagues, I do not intend to sepnd my last moment with them.I would rather have my DD's and DH. And Bacardi.Should I bother taking my car for its MOT tomorrow?

whomovedmychocolate · 20/12/2012 11:33

Yes the fine is automatic even if the world has ended.

Tamisara · 20/12/2012 11:35

There are countdown clocks here and here

Apparently it is 11.11 UST, which is based on GMT, though those two clocks don't seem to agree with each other

Countdown there OP Smile

DozyDuck · 20/12/2012 11:40

Oops sorry www.timeanddate.com/countdown/maya but I cross posted anyway

End of the world will be the same everywhere, fortunately, I don't fancy watching others meet their doom on the news first, that would be a bit scary

Tami I love the fact that at the bottom of that second countdown clock you linked to there's a headline reading "shocking 2013 horoscope".

I'm assuming it's shocking because it says absolutely nothing will happen to anyone in 2013 because none of us will exist any more?

VisualiseAHorse · 20/12/2012 11:47

If it's like my Asda delivery, they say they'll ring when they're 10 minutes away for a booked slot between 2pm-4pm. Then they actually turn up at 10am with no phone call.

Grrr.

so what time can i expect the world to end today or tomorrow has anybody heard if australia and new zealand still exist ?

TheHoneyDragonsDrunkInTheIvy · 20/12/2012 11:53

Are NORAD going to be tracking it? Like they do Santa?

I hope the Mayans did an App for it.

SarahWarahWoo · 20/12/2012 11:53

I have champagne at home that I have been saving for a special treat, shall we neck them tonight?

Tamisara · 20/12/2012 11:54

headfairy Smile I hadn't noticed.

SirCliffRichardSucksEggsInHell · 20/12/2012 11:55

Why is the Mayan calendar based on Taunton time? (said so in dozyduck's link)

OP posts:
Timetoask · 20/12/2012 11:55

Good question...
will it be at the start of the day (00:01) or at the very end (23:59)???

will have to plan for both just in case!

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/12/2012 11:55

But...when considering leap years,which didn't exist when the Mayans made the calendar,surely the world should have ended before Friday?

Tamisara · 20/12/2012 11:56

My grandad always used to say "everyday the world ends for somone". Very wise man. He died on the 21st December, 12 years ago tomorrow :(

Tamisara · 20/12/2012 11:56

SirCliff It says Aylesbury in mine, I think it picks up the place you are.

Tamisara · 20/12/2012 11:57

Time we've established (I think) that it will be 11.11am GMT. If it happens Wink
