I really hope not too, Dr Who isn't on until 6.45.
6pm what time? American, European, what?

Presumably American as that's where Harold Camping resides.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

So that's anything between 11pm and 6am for us.

Just watched the interview again and he actually says that it will begin at 6pm on 21st may, wherever it reaches that time in the world.
Ahh, bless him, he's 89!

Its already past that time in parts of Australia and Korea, do you think we're safe then ? ( till 2012)

I like the fact that almost as many people as have voted "no", have voted "Time will tell". You know, don't commit, it might just be true if we wait long enough! :giggle:

Seriously, the world will not end today. Please dont panic. Professor Brian Cox says it will in 1 billion year's time, when our Sun expands in its dying throes and then retracts to being a white dwarf.

Wont be able to make much posts today by the way, as I'm having broadband connection problems 100 feet underground in my nuclear bomb shelter. You would think Virgin Broadband would cater for that, sheesh.

Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.

If you wait long enough, something will happen to justify your pessimism. Trouble is, you may have to wait longer than the lifetime of the universe for it to come true. I voted no.

Hey, I just realised that if the world ends today I won't have to do any housework! Yippee!
