L'apres-demain in French do I vaguely remember from somewhere (the after-tomorrow).

Mo, I think Sminky is referring to the predicted ending of the world!

I'm old enough to have seen the world end SO Many times.

Hi,

Are you trying to distinguish between this Friday and a week from Friday?

BTW, I'd say "New Year's Eve" is English and nowadays is at least both the last light period and the dark period leading up to Midnight (or dawn, if you're non-clock). Auld Year's Day in Scottish would be the part where the sun would (hypothetically) be visible, whilst Auld Year's Nicht would be the night following (or maybe only the evening, if you're on-clock).

Merry 'fore ere-Christmas Eve everyone,

By comparion, "ante penultimate" is derived from Latin and means something before the next to the last in a series.

Ante = before, pen = next to (I think) & ultimate is last, so the one before the one before the last one.

How cumbersome is that!

:-D

Sorry, typo - that should read "by comparison"
