To be worried about Daily Express and its Nostramdamus headline.

I haven't read it all, but it came up on Facebook. Nostramdamus prophesied Trumps victory and now the world could end. Sick of all this doom and worry. Is it true?

I think we may have been in the same cult Yoksha. Hence end of world predictions make me laugh when I see them ☺

I am a born worrier, the thing is, if I've nothing to worry about I think I should be worrying about something. Pointless I know, because worrying won't change a thing.

Wish I knew how to stop worrying about stuff, I just seem to have a feeling of unease most of the time, then, when I see a headline like the one I mentioned I go into panic mode.

Thank you all for calming me down....all I needed was some common sense and straight talking.

I bet on stuff sometimes. Nine times out of ten I lose the bet and forget about it next day. The bets I place that I win I remember and crow about for years (still going on about Red Rum winning the National). These predictions are like that.

Boris for PM? Have they forgotten that he decided not to stand? Because he is clever enough to realise that whatever happens it will end in failure in the short term, even if eventually it comes good for the country.

The sort of timescale I am talking about for coming good is 25 years or so, by which time Johnson will be an old man, May will probably have passed away, nor do I necessarily expect still to be alive.

I know we take the piss out of the DM on here, but you have to be a true moron to read the Express.
It's the newspaper of the nearly dead.

Every year the Express also promise Snowmageddon.

They are professional doomsayers and also seem to have no shame in publishing nonsense.

And anyway, what would be the problem of the end of the world happened? We'd cease to exist. And so what?

AutumnLeavesAgain · 12/11/2016 22:24

Yes dudsville.

I prepare for possible snow by buying g a few tins and a bag of salt. But there's not much you can do to prepare for the end of the world.

But there's not much you can do to prepare for the end of the world.

Depends if it's the sort of sun blows up end of absolutely everything end, or some sort of 99% of people perish and civilisation falls the end....

TBH there is probably less chance of war with Trump in the White House.
