NickyG, I have a question.

Every time you make a post here predicting global apocalypse and other such bad things caused by comets, you are rightly derided and mocked for being a mentalist. So why do you still bother? I can't think of a single CUK member (Wilmslow aside, but he's a gullible permie) who would ever take your posts seriously.

I take it all seriously. But then I believed Chico. And Denny.

Many were sleeping at the time of the disaster so were trapped.

I do agree with NG's point of view that we are living in the End Times - thats why I have no pension scheme and have no desire for children - if that turns out to be wrong and its not the End Times then we are all a winner anyway.

Then I will go out and kill a few family court judges - as I only have to spend a few years in prison.

It always seems like "end times" when world events are moving quickly. But I think it won't be too long before we're in more "interesting times" as Chinese cynics used to call hectic upheavals, far more than even today.

That's Doom at the BlasterBates level.

There was a massive tidal surge as well.

What baffles me is how no more than a high wind (OK hurricane, but even so) can kill 20,000 people and counting.

I mean when we had a hurricane back in 1986 or whenever it was, I think the number killed were in single figures or thereabouts.

Maybe it's the quality of their dwellings. I suppose a corrugated iron shack is more vulnerable, and dangerous when blowing about in bits, than a brick building.

What a deduction!

Excellent observation! What a brilliant mind you have!

Why?

Why do we have to go along with it though?
Everybody knows it as Burma, nobody as Myanmar.
Same with the Indians: what's wrong with Bombay, Madras, Calcutta that have now become Mumbai. Chennai and Kolkata (last one is really pathetic).
Next time I'll go for an Indian, should I ask for a chicken Chennai?

[Spacecadet]

Burma?
According to CNN its spelt Myanmar.

Stupid yanks and their spelling

Because I know i'm right. I'm right about Perestroika being a deception, i'm right about Russia and China gearing up for war, i'm right about immigration and i'm right about the fact that we are living in the end times.

So are house prices Boomed or Doomed?

You'll find out the truth soon enough anyway, so it doesn't matter what people say.

By the way, disco...can't beat a bit of Tom Moulton on a sunny day.

Isn't it something to do with the how big the engine is in your 4x4?

[Jog On]

Must have missed the comet - where was that reported?
