Anyone know what time the end of the world is?

Right, I'm off to find out whether the butcher's still there and if he is, I'll buy some sausages and some stewing steak.

Have I got time for a cup of tea first?

I think 3 pints and some salted peanuts is what you're after.

Perhaps we should all be grateful to these folks for performing their world-saving rituals. Maybe now they can go back to busking around the town centre and playing El Condor Pasa time and time again.

Where did you get a pic of the CUK xmas bash??

[cojak]

Just before quarter past 9 - so you'll have time for your tea first.

I am in Staines, how am I supposed to tell the difference if the world has ended?

Wander up the River a bit and see if the Flags still flying on the Castle.

I've just heard that John Terry headed it away to safety.

But he's been arrested for shouting "Take that you f***ing asteroid c***!" at it.

Because America is the centre of the Universe, does this mean 11:11 was actually PST and not GMT? Or was in the Mayan time zone, is that Mountain time, or central?

As the Maya never made any prediction of the end of the world, it's difficult to say with any certainty. But the assumption is that their Long Count cycle ended (and the new Long Count began) at the Winter Solstice, and that occurred at 11:12 GMT.

My WH Smith diary only goes up to 6 January 2013.

Are those WH Smiths onto something?

[Mich the Tester]

Well a bit of a disaster at the butcher's; no stewing steak! End of the world you see, sir!

So I'll make do with some Rosemary and Pork sausages and a rather hefty joint of pork I'll have plenty of crackling and crispy roast potatoes. Got some rather yummy mushrooms too. Yum yum. I think I can cope with this apocalypse thingummy.
