Default Who's got plans for the End of the World on Friday then?

Anybody having an End of the World party? Or just hiding under the duvet all day?

It's my tenth wedding anniversary, so I'm really hoping that the end of the world comes at the end of the day when I will have been out for a lovely long boozy lunch to celebrate. I won't care by then.

Hopefully it does not end as I still have two bottles of vodka, a bottle of tequila, some wine, a pack of beer and some sour mash beer that still needs drinking and I have not got any booze in for Christmas yet

Just start in the morning, drink the lot and then if the end of the world comes you'll be too sozzled to feel a thing.

Sounds like a great plan, think I will have to start early though

I'm taking the puppy to have his testicles disconnected and removed on Friday.

I have been trying to persuade him to hump his older sister but he's not interested. So, if the world does end shortly after his op, then I won't feel so bad for the little guy.

No time for the end of the world, I'm working.

Anyhow didn't they prove that the calendar reverts back to the start on the end of the world calendar thingy? And not end of the world.

Did Mayans ever figure out the wheel?

No, but didn't they invent chocolate? Or was that the aztecs. Mind you they were very blood thirsty and sacrificed a lot of people.

So I can enjoy my lunch without worrying about an imminent comet landing on my head? Marvellous.

They must have done or why would they invent the odometer?

Prove? No. It's simply an hypothesis until Saturday morning.

They think they’re so clever? I fixed my Christmas tree lights last night, so **** the Mayans.

I think the Mayans were well and truly ****ed some time ago.

I've just arranged to go out on Saturday, the first proper drinking night with a few Brits in Edmonton since I came here almost 2 years ago.

Do you think they'd kindly put it back a day?
