    Anyone know what time the end of the world is?

    Have I got time for a cup of tea first?
    We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
    - Douglas Adams

    It was 6 minutes ago. Still, according to the Dutch Railway definition of 'delayed', it's still on time for another 9 minutes.

        It's not as bad as the English version, believe me.

        Waiting for a train to Gatwick which was "4 mins" late, it turned up about 40 mins later and then they reduce where it was supposed to stop

        The trains are certainly cleaner in cloggers

            It was 'predicted' thousands of years ago - at a time when they didn't have computers etc. Cut them a bit of slack if the apocalypse is a few minutes late
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              Perhaps we should all be grateful to these folks for performing their world-saving rituals. Maybe now they can go back to busking around the town centre and playing El Condor Pasa time and time again.

                    Maybe we are the only ones left and we really only exist on this forum

                    Could this be a version of Hell?
