    That's the last one ever. Unless some pope changes the calendar again.

    I really, really should buy my wife some presents. I am pissed that the end of the world is coming a day after her borthday. If it came on her birthday, I could have got away without buying any presents...

    Somehow doubt any of that, but I fancy haggis, whiskey and Dundee cake for some reason.

    Anyone else planning to mark this damp squib?
    You are a bit late we missed the apocalypse as the Mayan's didn't use leap years in their calculations, so in the last 5,125 years (their long calendar) there was 1242 February the 29th they didn't factor in so instead of the world ending on the 21st December 2012, it should have ended 28th July 2009.

    And maybe a nice cheese to go with the cake.

    By George you might be onto something!
