Well the world didn't end after all..

Post by Rum » Thu Sep 10, 2009 6:15 pm

Apparently there were a number of woo merchants around the planet who decided that as yesterday was 9/9/09 it was going to be the end of the world.

It isn't here. How about where you are?

Maybe they didn't mean a physical ending of world but rather a transformation between and old world and a new one?

Nottingham seems OK. We can always hope that Derby caught the worst of it though. :tea:

Saturday's match against Chelsea will probably be cancelled - can't think of any other way to tell. :tea:

Melbourne would just quietly ignore the apocalyse - it's the kind of garish display that would only happen in Sydney... :coffee:

That's because Melbournians couldn't tell the difference between the apocalypse and their usual condition. When Ava Gardner denied having said "On the Beach is a story about the end of the world, and Melbourne sure is the right place to film it" she sacrificed a once in a lifetime opportunity of being credited for having said something that is profoundly true.

That would be a slow sinking in to a peaceful routine, possibly assisted by gin...?

The following is purely heresy and should not be read by the easily offended:

While in Chicago I ordered a Guinness. The waitress brought it and said, "I love pouring those, they are all foamy and pretty, just like a chocolate shake."
