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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

"Looks at me watch".....Mmmmmmm only 30 min to go on the "East coast" of Ozzie 11-30pm

I'm sitting on me decking having a beer waiting for the end............ and hoping my bro will send me the $10 he ows me before i am elininated. He lives on the "West Coast"....so i'm not sure what part of Oz will end first.....

O'h well..Goodbye to everyone, its been funnnnnn...... :D

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 they should have had the x lotto and pools results tonight. How terrible to win all that money the day the world ended. You should have at least a day or so to spend some of it.

Hey Robin, are you happy being a greyed out person. Would you like your own piccy even if it is only for a day and a bit.
