say followers of the Mayan calender. As a means of measurement the Mayan method has long ceased to be the cherry in history's pie. The Mayan baktun is as useful today as those Martian rocks Challenger keeps stumbling into. Honest, the bus timetable is more accurate a predictor of events than the ancient baktun. One forecasts the arrival of charabancs the other universal disaster but which has stood the test of time? There's plenty of buses but can anyone remember the last apocalypse? I think not. The timetable, however, predicts a bus is due and lo, here's the 192 to Piccadilly Gardens and in the distance? Oh, another 192 to Piccadilly Gardens and behind that? MY GOD IT'S ANOTHER 192. Giddy with excitement I'm now atop the shelter and peering through binoculars I see in the far distance OMG yet another 192. Let's hear it for the bus timetable a chart that just keeps on giving. Which is more than can be said for the Mayans.If the world does end on Friday, mind you, I'll be the first to hold my hands up and admit I was wrong. And you can't say fairer than that.

It better not - I've ordered a chocolate birthday cake from Morrisons
Ah, chocolate and the apocolypse. A heady mix. Me I'd prefer to check out with a gin and tonic in hand.
Actually, it's all a lie to make people buy lots of stuff to party like it's the end of the world. It's one big corporate conspiracy, haha.
G,
I read that in China and Russia there's been people panic buying. I suspect in the US it's the same with those people who are always predicting the end of things.
