Ah, but it's a Rolling Rapture!! It strikes at 6pm local time. It must be 6pm somewhere by now. Anything happened?

You don't want to know

John.

Maybe if you spend the next few hours on the mountainside, sitting in your dinghy with your lifebelt on, there may still be hope.

You could get a few funny looks mind.

He gets them already!!!

well it's already tomorrow in OZ..................


I can't believe they'd all be safe there if we weren't

Who will you leave your Suzuki to? I only ask because you should know that if you are thinking of leaving it to me I'm going to sell it, just so that you know... hell, I'd rather have your gnome collection.

It's six o'clock here, but I'm not worried. The mice have taken over my car and turned it into a space ship, the Doberman has smashed up the gnomes and eaten the solar lights, and after a dodgy Chinese lunchtime I can already hear the rumbling from my stomach.

yeah - but I've just found out we have til midnight!!

Come on Lynn, I stopped worrying when the six o'clock deadline passed, now you've started me off again. It's only quarter-to-ten. I'm nervous, the dogs are nervous, 'er indoors is on a cleaning binge - she hovered around the computer and brought the internet down for a while.

I'm off to the terrace to calm the Doberman down, the little terrier is clinging to me, perhaps he knows something.

I hour 33 mins to go

I'd just like to see an interview with the tossers who believe this guff.

I'm afraid it's not quite that simple.
Midnight is not the end, it's only the beginning of the end, so it could go on for quite a while and depending on how naughty a girl you may or may not have been, you might not be first on the hit list.

I'm amazed to see it's quite a big thing on all the main news channels at present.

I've seen at least one very briefly on a main news channel, but wasn't much wiser for it I'm afraid.

I suppose the guys in the international space station should be safe for now, though where they will eventually land I'm not quite sure.

I see the Pope has just been chatting with them for the very first time.
I suspect he was enquiring if there was a spare seat.

Come on Bil, we're all having a laugh, there's an hour to go for the tossers - I sometimes worry about people who call other people tossers, perhaps a look in the mirror could clarify things, if you're honest.

Anyway, it's less then an hour now, I'm getting more confident that I may survive. confident enough to take the Sunday chicken out to defrost.
