Sorry Claude....

...I forgot to say goodbye.

BBC News - Is today the day the world will end?

We've got just under two hours to go here. Anybody got any last-minute plans?

I went to Kew Gardens for the day, had a lovely time. I missed the bit where the world ended.

Silly Me
    I've been out trimming the ivy. Now it seems that it was hardly necessary,

I went to Kew Gardens for the day, had a lovely time. I missed the bit where the world ended.

It's not due until 6:00pm. I think. But is that GMT or BST?

[HansV]

I'll be 6 PM local time wherever you are. Claude is long gone by now...

Oh bother, that will barely leave me with time to print a picture of the water lillies.

Water lovely nearly-last post!

[HansV]

It's 5:59:59 PM here now, so it's time to say goodbye.

Nice to have known you all, I'd have loved to d

Don't think so; I didn't hear a thing.

[jstevens]

Hey where did everyone go? I wonder who will end up with all the toys?

I have 8 hours left and was planning on trimming the ivy but I think not. Don are you there? Just wanted to check in to see if I still have to do it.

Regards,
John

Terribly sorry... I don't have time for this "event." I've gotta do a backup on my computer, run some laundry, feed my cat, and any number of other t h i n g s ..... arrrgghhh...

[garbsmj]

I don't have to worry about it, I was, erm, chosen. So when you get there Claude, could you ask G-d to answer my last rant? Thanks!

[Jezza]

Just passed a man on a tractor who shouted 'the end of the world is nigh'.

Spoiler

I think it was Farmer Geddon

[garbsmj]

okay - hail came but nothing else. Thor must be really peeved after being ignored all day...and Loki is teasing a few those-should not named...

[Claude]

Well guys, I'm sorry to report that I totally forgot that I'm dead, even had my early morning coffee. However, I must say it's completely different today, as opposed to yesterday Yesterday was Saturday, today is Sunday ! Completely different from what I can tell...

[garbsmj]

Claude - I'm glad you're here....it doesn't mean a thing. My mom used to say "there's no rest for the wicked" but I think that was in response to something I did, but anyway

[Timelord]

Crud, I missed it all. BTW has anyone seen my dog? It just disappeared around about 6...

God: ‘I’ll End the World When I’m Good and Ready, Me Damn It’

Almighty Holds Rare Press Conference

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – After a much-heralded End of the World failed to materialize on the appointed day, May 21, Almighty God held a rare press conference in New York to discuss the matter.

Dressed in His trademark flowing white robe and carrying a thunderbolt, God seemed visibly irked by the predictions calling for the world to end this Saturday.

“I’ll end the world when I’m good and ready, Me damn it,” He snapped in response to a question from a USA Today reporter.

When asked if He had a message for the faithful who had expected the world to end today, the Almighty cracked, “They should be grateful for the eleven years they’ve had since the world ended on Y2K.”

God was cagey about setting an exact date for the end of the world, saying only, “When I decide to end the world I’ll let you know the way I always do – on Twitter.”

After the press conference, a publicist for God confirmed that the Heavenly Father was annoyed at having to talk to reporters to address the end of the world rumors: “Honestly, I haven’t seen Him this pissed since Pat Robertson blamed a tsunami on the gays.”

Elsewhere, Harold Camping, the preacher who predicted that the world would end on May 21, issued the following brief statement: “”The world doesn’t end this week. Oprah does. My bad, sry.”

Oh Pooh,

I was hoping that Micro$oft would get a chance to start over and MAYBE get it right this time!
