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?

21.12pm isnt it

TeamBacon · 20/12/2012 19:59

Midnight, according to the things on more4 at the moment.

But midnight where ?

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 20/12/2012 20:00

I don't mind if the whole world ends. We'll all be gone together.

I don't fancy the type of apocalypse that will kill some of us and leave the rest of us battling radiation and zombies though. So if we are to be hit by a meteor, could it be a big one please?

I am going to make myself an overcoat out of cockroaches I think....

cozietoesie · 20/12/2012 20:04

I won't care!

I made a childish school-girl error & have made all my Christmas deliveries for the 22nd - 800 quids worth of joy & I'm never going to see a crumb of it - I would have liked to see the world out whilst gorging on lark's tongues & peacock.

pixwix · 20/12/2012 20:35

Oh arse! Am meant to pick up something from the plastic tat emporium tomorrow, that I have already paid for - although I don't suppose sterling will matter much anymore...

have we decided upon a time yet? As am desperate for a lie in til 7.30 - have been up at 5.45 every day this week, and tomorrow, I only have to get the kids to school, if it's not a smouldering heap of dust.

I shan't bother hoovering up tonight then. Do you think the horses of the apocolyse would like carrots like reindeer do? Should I hunt out the cricket bats for the zombies? My ds1 (15) is very knowledgable on what to do in the event of a zombie attack, and as presumably his laptop will be down, he should do very well. Shame there isn't a gcse in it really.

I think I'll leave the washing up.......

Rocking - what have you aren on tv thats scaring you so much?

Pandemoniaa · 20/12/2012 20:58

Please don't tell her, Rocking. You are going to make each other all the more anxious. But consider this for a moment, kaylasmum. If the Mayans were so good at prophecies, how come they managed not to prophecy their own downfall? Clearly they knew nothing. Let alone that the world would end on the 21st December.

BrianButterfield · 20/12/2012 21:10

As someone upthread said, we're just all going to come home and find this on our mats...

Petsinmypudenda · 20/12/2012 21:16

It cant happen till after 2 because i need to get my tache eyebrows threaded before we all die.

MurderOfGoths · 20/12/2012 21:30

Does apocalypse etiquette fall under the "wear clean knickers you might fall under a bus" line of thought? If so, should I pluck my eyebrows and shave my legs?

LineRunner · 20/12/2012 23:23

Murder, if a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear its clean knickers crinkle?

trixymalixy · 20/12/2012 23:27

I've just finished wrapping the presents. Why did I do that, when clearly no one is ever going to open them? I could just have sat on my backside and drank wine instead!

SoleSource · 20/12/2012 23:34

Never o'clock.

confusteling · 20/12/2012 23:39

moves over here as thread seems a bit more active than the other one

How are we all feeling tonight? Sister (ASD) got very upset over the whole thing, has fallen fast asleep now..

cynnerthenaughtyreindeer · 20/12/2012 23:46

I really hope it occurs before my dd Christmas concert..I absolutely hate these things..

whats4teamum · 20/12/2012 23:56

Oh bugger I have an appointment for a coil check at that time. I don't want to be legs akimbo at the apocalypse.

Gingerodgers · 21/12/2012 00:01

1 pm just now in nz. The birds have all stopped singing, it's getting dark............fuck, I think it's about to happen

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 21/12/2012 00:03

Good luck Gingers.

Send us a message from the other side, so we know what to expect.

confusteling, I hope your dsis is ok. ds is 19 and has Asperger's and has really got quite upset by this Sad

freddiefrog · 21/12/2012 00:06

I've got a hair appointment tomorrow at 11 so it had better be after. I don't want the end of the world to happen when I've got grey roots

nametakenagain · 21/12/2012 00:08

Pants, I forgot to spend the day stuffing face with chocolate. How long have I got left. Can I sleep a bit?

AboutThyme · 21/12/2012 00:29

Rocking and kaylasmum - anything that you will see on the news, either on TV or news channel websites is always going to be a bit of a pisstake. It is added at the end in a "and now.." kind of way. I have said over and over again on all these threads that I know how much the anxiety takes over and rational thought leaves the house through the nearest exit but this utter utter SHITE is going to be done with by lunch time tomorrow.

Time predicted for "it" (I mean, logically, c'mon, a time for the end of the world! HOW ridiculous?!) is between 11.11. am and 11.19 am, our time, because it fits in nicely that is still the 21st in every country then and also it is the time when the sun and moon and us "line up" for the winter solstice. I could word that far better but I won't because there is no point; simply your anxiety wouldn't read the actual facts it would just pick out bits that frightened you and then run with that.

There really is no alignment of any kind it is just the usual thing that happens in the northern hemisphere every 21st December. The start of the days becoming a tad longer again. Nothing more. We will all still be here this time tomorrow night. I may be a tad worse for the wear having opened the gin but hopefully nobody will "flame" (little joke there Xmas Wink) me for it.

RockingAroundTheBloodyXmasTree · 21/12/2012 04:58

Ive just had a panic attack i thought i was gonna die. I feel like in going to throw ip.

Jojobells1986 · 21/12/2012 05:14

I don't get why people are so concerned about this. The calendar I'm looking at goes up to the 25th! There's chocolate & everything so it must be right! Grin
