So far so good comrade. I've still got plenty of vodka, enough for a snort tomorrow to drown my sorrows if it doesn't happen before midnight.

Or will that be the real midnight? What with the Pope saying there's no Father Christmas and the date is wrong I'm a little confused. Is it wrong by an exact multiple of 24 hours, or might the apocalypse occur at 4 am tomorrow like a police raid on dangerous but self-indulgent gangsters?

No doubt we will find out in the hours to come.

Ha ha, just had a litre of Bombay Sapphire delivered, by Ocado along with the festive comestibles - reduced from £27 to £18.

Might have one tonight as the boss is deserting me for yet another outing with the ladies who lunch, dine and otherwise generally neglect their husbands!

I showed your post to my boss, her comment was "Good to know I am not alone". I must be formally neglected. :-)

What, as in married someone?

Blimey

I do though admit to having done that twice. There are elements of it that are sort of ok though I suppose.

That's a bit harsh Stu. Perhaps they were right, and there has been a minor glitch in the execution of the divine plan.

Don't worry, come 4 am or so Destiny could easily be thundering on everyone's door and shouting incoherently. Where Destiny is concerned there are no problems with cuts in security funding. Home Office beancounters won't get a look in. They are to be barbecued with the rest of us.

Or so one can't help hoping.

I get a bit fed up with people who arent happy unless there is a disaster on the horizon. If people would stop waiting for bad things to happen all the time, they might find the time to see the positives in life and enjoy them. The phrase Get a Life was made for such people.

My grandfather said to me that if you didnt have the time to stop and admire the beauty of a wildflower, you werent really alive. I do try to live by that and I do look at wild flowers, wonderful what nature creates really.

Good lord, have you been forcibly ejected from the "we are all going to hell in a hand cart club" then? When did that happen?

It occurred to me you might be on it, reason enough to get out :-)

I found a bottle of salad cream at the back of the fridge today - the label said "Use by 21.12.2012" Do you think it was actually Mayan-aise....?

I'm a bit disappointed with the outcome as I had just received a large tax demand and shall now have to pay it. (Why do HMRC do this? Sending before Christmas causes premature indigestion and dampens down expenditure, just when the economy needs spending just now, and the tax would still remain for later.)

There's still a glimmer of hope. The Mayan calendar may have been badly matched to ours, so the apocalypse could still occur tomorrow, the comic says.

However the 6m modern Mayans, whose opinion must surely count for something, don't think that the end is nigh. So don't get your hopes up.

Good point. Had mine this week reminding me to pay £4,200 before 31st January. I knew anyway but it was a timely reminder not to get too carried away with Christmas spending.
