Default We only have 3 days to live...

...according to some nutter.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...e-2254139.html

However, just in case he's right, I'm drawing up my Better-Do-It-Damned-Quick-Bucket-List right now.

1 Make sure my in-tray's empty.
2 Renew the car and life insurance.
3 Start that diet again and really mean it this time.

Oooh yeah, and drop the bed linen off at the dry cleaners.

There are some things I do automatically. Breathing. Metabolising. Farting. Undressing women with my eyes. Estimating the airspeed of an unladen swallow. I can post drivel while asleep...

It seems that those Rags will do anything to stop Man City qualifying for the Champions League.

So, we have yet another non apocalypse to look forward to? What do you reckon people like him think when they wake up and the non apocalyptic future greets them in the morning? I mean, besides feeling like a complete dick head who got duped by the holy book.

Every day Mr Camping, an 89-year-old former civil engineer, speaks to his followers via the Family Radio Network, a religious broadcasting organisation funded entirely by donations from listeners. Such is their generosity (assets total $120m) that his network now owns 66 stations in the US alone


Don't know about you but am feeling all holy all of a sudden, Please tune into my radio station starting soon!!!

Ps just because he has 3days to live by the look of him, Does n't mean he should tar us all with the same brush

If we really are going to die in three days, Bahtat's list should be amended to "Things You'd Never Dream Of Doing" - after all, you have only three days to live with the shame and humiliation, after which nobody will be around to bother you or take the piss (and nor will you).

So, nominations please.

I'll start - Morris Dancing.
