We're doomed! No MN! Life is over...

[Housemum]

Love this scaremongering story that popped up on Yahoo solar flares could cause blackouts

How long before we get the comspiracy theorists and loonies talking about FlashForwards?! But seriously, a solar flare wiping out electronic devices? No CBeebies/MN/Facebook/e-mail??? I'd have to talk to (whisper) people? We're all doomed...

When you have finished worrying about too many solar flares New Scienist suggests you start worrying about too little sunspot activity.

The sun is broken

The sun is broken

Nah, its just pacing itself. Teasing us about gloal warming with a severe cooling period and then building up to a real atom smashing spectacular to unleash war, famine and pestilence across the planet.

Personally, though I am waiting for it to turn ito a Red Giant, swallow the earth and then suddenly implode into a white dwarf.

Although that could take a while longer.

You'll all be fine. Just don't:

Decide to go on a business trip to the other side of the country for the first time ever after agonising about leaving your kids with your strong, capable and firm jawed dh.

If you do the above don't lean back in to the car when they take you to the airport and say 'I'll see you on Friday/wouldn't miss your school play/will bring you back something lovely from Liverpool.'

If fleeing from natural diaster make sure you're not accompanied by any CEO of major corporations who've failed to protect the environment, blonde women or adulterers of either sex. you might as well walk around with a lightening rod attached to your hat...

If you come to a large chasm that looks like it might get wider any minute - jump now, think later!

If your treasured souvenir from Liverpool/water bottle/CEO falls in to said chasm do NOT try and reach to get them out. Just grab the hands of the hugely muscular misfit who's going to get you through this and get OUT of the HOLE.

Wear sensible shoes.

It'll be fine..........

I bet it all happens the day after I win the lottery...

You'll be ok Swans as long as you don't say 'now we've got everything we've ever wanted' as you receive your lottery win. Chances of your dream home being flattened by freak hurricane go up hugely when you start chucking that sort of smug phrase around
