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?

Poor boys, even my 6 year old asked me this morning Sad
However I believe that someone has told my domestic appliances that it will happen and they are keeling over at a rapid rate in anticipation Xmas Angry
The car last week, this week the kettle, the tumble dryer, the bread machine and now the bloody toilet.
Lucky it's not an expensive time of year, eh? Xmas Hmm
I'm waiting in for an emergency plumber instead of enjoying a childfree day before Christmas/end of the world.

In China they have arrested 4 doom mongers on grounds of breach of the peace or something like that. . Obviously this flies in the face of free speech but I can bloody well see why they have done it. So irresponsible. everlong enjoy your McDonald's. sparkling I hope your son's anxiety does not perpetuate for the rest of the day and he can draw a line under it after 11.

Only dh when he gets in from work and his idea of tidying is to vaguely move things about. Teenagers are all out.
He did help me to the sofa so I can watch jezza something educational. Grin

Apparently, people are camping on the hill in the village in France, where they are supposed to be safe from the apocalypse because aliens are going to come out of the hill and save them all. Grin

Jossysgiants · 21/12/2012 10:06

perception I missed the village in France bit. I wonder if Tony and Cherie are there.

I feel so sorry for all these frightened children. BUT what a brilliant example of mass hysteria over nothing to discuss with them tomorrow in the cold light of (another) day. Next time someone comes up with a stupid theory they will have actual experience to help them dismiss it completely.

For those with young kids who are scared, I just saw a status on Twitter that might be worth trying to use to your advantage? Someone posted that Doctor Who had averted the apocalypse.

freetoanyhome · 21/12/2012 10:18

why would aliens save a bunch of irritating hippies?

D0oinMeCleanin · 21/12/2012 10:19

Dd1 must have been talking to my mum about it because she came home from school yesterday and told me "X said all the floods are the beginning of the end. I told him not to be silly, that there is no end of the world, only silly people who think aliens are talking to them in their brains. If aliens could talk to you inside your head, they'd be able to stop the end of the world anyway, so it's very silly. The Mayonnaise people didn't say the world would end did they? They said we would be able to talk to dead people. I hope we can. That would be nice, but I don't think it will happen, do you?"

MaryMungoAndMidgies · 21/12/2012 10:38

I have to talk to my (D)P today, its all over I think. It'll feel like the end of the world.

And my birthday is tomorrow. Balls.

pepperrabbitanddesultorytinsel · 21/12/2012 10:44

freetoanyhome maybe it's a double bluff?
Lure the irritating hippies to the hill......

TraceyTrickster · 21/12/2012 11:00

it is 10pm here in Aus, and unless post apocalyptic world looks remarkably like the one pre-apocalypse, nothing has happened.

Even the TV is the same- James Bond on repeat...
