Nope still waiting. It's just gone 11 pm Oz time. Well i't actually half an hour later than that on the east coast so they must be getting all excited by now.

Oh heavens the wine. I forgot all about the lovely ceramic port bottles I have. I don't drink the stuff have just collected the bottles over the years. Do you think it's too late to start opening them now.

I think I might go rustle up some raisin toast and a mug of hot chocolate. Not much sense going into the hereafter on an empty stomach.

Reckon NZ will probably have the news before we do. Must google their headlines and see if anything unusual is happening.

US Aetheists are holding 'after Rapture" parties...Harold Camping, 89, predicts that Jesus Christ will return to earth on Saturday and true believers will be swept up, or "raptured", to heaven."...

This is priceless :D

"An atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.

He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.

They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. "Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds."

Just checked NZ response to 'the end of the etc etc".
Comment placed on web site

"Is it possible to delay this until Monday please because the weather is meant to be nice this weekend?"

Just gone midnight here. The computer is still working, good sign, OH and the labrador are still snoring, normal. I've run out of milo and chocolate powder, catastrophe.

I see you are anticipating Santa will be arriving this year. Which means I will have to do the shopping in the morning, fold the washing, wash the floor and weed the garden.

Gee I forgot about the Canadians. Their turn will be after ours and before the Poms. Or is it after the Poms. Which way does the earth turn.

You mean it's our turn next. Bother, I would rather we all went together, sort of equal opportunity type stuff.

Well apart from the anticipation of the non event......... after a frustrating evening researching a bloke who was never born according to the NSW Births deaths marriages (that'll get rid of that yellow bug) but was according to Ancestry trees I will bid you all a fond good night.

I'm glad the world didn't end. I was having a terrible time trying to decide whether to change my profile photo to either an angel or a devil.

Ahem. Canadians will be here long after the rest of you are gone. At least five hours after those Poms, anyhow. Longer if you're Sylvia!

Like rats and cockroaches, we are.

I'm wondering ... the Aussies and such are now asleep.

What happens if they just don't wake up?

Well, the good little Aussies and Kiwis who get raptured, anyhow.

The Brits will be asleep when the Aussies and such should be waking up ...

So yup, it's only the Canuckistanians who will know what happened!


It's 2 p.m. in Canada as I type.

That makes it 7 p.m. in the UK. Oh wait, they aren't on daylight time yet in the UK? And yet the timestamps on posts above mine are after 6 p.m. Aargh.

Well, the internet tells me it's UTC/GMT + 10 hrs in Sydney.

So if it's 7 p.m. in the UK it's 5 a.m. in Sydney. So we don't have long to wait ... unless they all sleep in on Saturday ...

Interesting......
Someone I know is flying to UK from the East tomorrow.
I wonder if they will land while we still exist here ?

I've just been out and bought 2 birthday cards for next week too.
Should I not send them?
