We have people all over the world on here, so we should set up an alarm system. If anyone sees ANYTHING out of the ordinary, please take a picture and post it in Photo-a-Day forum...

The Mayans are from Mexico not Peru so that gains everyone an extra hour. Use it wisely.

I shall boil 20 eggs in succession.

After watching Ghost many times, it occurred to me that Patrick Swayze wore the same clothes over and over again once he was a ghost. Does that mean that whatever you're wearing when you go is what you wear when you're a ghost? Hmmmm.. well as I head off to work's Xmas party in about half an hour, if the world does end tonight at least I'll be in a posh frock with my hair done and my favourite jewels on. I hate my shoes though. They're so uncomfortable I'd hate to be stuck wearing them for eternity!

Dec 22: Hey! Where'd everyone go? (In a very struggling voice...) "Must will existence back to reality. Ah, done. Thank me later."

Yes Tizza that is interesting. I wonder if hell for Moslem suicide bombers is 72 prostitutes and no money.

Now that's a good one! I hope you don't mind if I borrow it??

Well, it's 00:27 on December 22nd, I'm back from the party in one piece, and the world as we know it is still here! The local broadsheet hasn't reported the end of the Earth so I think we'll be ok..

Winged being wearing a Fedora with a Press Pass stuck in the brim: So, Gabriel, have you got a few minutes to spare for some questions?
Gabriel: I'm not really in the mood right now.
Reporter: I understand your frustration but our readers would like to know why their relatives never arrived. Only you know the story. How about it, please?
Gabriel: Okay but this has to be brief. The Big Guy needs His report ASAP.
Reporter: What was your first sign things weren't going right?
Gabriel: Well, I planned a 'warm up toot' in the Antarctic but my lips got stuck to the frozen brass of the Final Trumpet.
Reporter: Like in "The Christmas Story"?
Gabriel: This has nothing to do with Sonny's Story.
Reporter: Sorry, please continue.
Gabriel: With my injured lips I couldn't hit the high notes like I'd have needed to so I went with a Pneumatic air horn attachment they sell at the Heavenly Goods Superstore.
Reporter: That should have made things all the more easy for you. What went wrong?
Gabriel: They've established air and noise quality levels as output from such devices and, had I blown the horn, I would have been breaking their laws. Not an example to be setting by a representative of the Almighty.
Reporter: What were your options then?
Gabriel: Well, I considered subcontracting the job.
Reporter: That would be a big bit of work for some lucky, may I say, Devil.
Gabriel: No not him. Heaven's got zoning laws against any of his work being accepted.
Reporter: Who then?
Gabriel: I phoned Grim Reaper, Inc. Asked if his crew of Death, Hades and the other Horsemen might be available and he said that the size of the job was way too big for them. They're only experienced in one at a time type deals. Hades mentioned that since pennies aren't made much anymore, there may not be enough for the ferryman to be paid, That's a Union job you know and they have to be paid the contracted rate.
Reporter: So, that's when you...
Gabriel: Yeah, I called the thing off and have scheduled a planning conference for next year to get a better handle on the thing.
Reporter: Thanks for your time and better get those lips tended too. They look sore.

The world didn't end....
I was up all night and it was a close call, but I managed to save you all in the end.

You're welcome

I say let it end. I might still keep my sanity that way.

Next time someone says the world will end on a particular day I don't think that I will believe them.

I didn't in the first place.

I did! I saw it on the internet, so thought it HAD to be true. Now I am doubting that nice man in Nigeria that wants to be my friend and give me lots of money.

Or that nice young lady loved your profile and wants a meaningful relationship with you.

You guys are all too funny! It's sometimes that I wish it was more than just Facebook that had a 'Like' button to click

Thanks surdoux!! So it was you I saw flying around with a red cape on your shoulders saving the world?

And his knickers over his tights.

I thought it might have been Santa bringing me a special present but I was sadly disappointed!

I didn't buy it either

WORST apocalypse EVER.

Hopefully the next one is not such a letdown.
