From: gnu Date: 17 Feb 05 - 05:40 PM If you've ever been to the abyss, the end of the earth, on Grand Manan Island off the coast of New Brunswick, you wouldn't worry about the end of the earth because you could just avoid falling off. The Flat Earth Society of New brunswick takes it's members there every summer so they know where to not dare tread. It's fun and educational. Oh! You mean the whole world. Sorry. |

We'll be so busy arguing about what caused it, we won't even notice. :) E.G. the politicizing of global warming. Teresa |

Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: The Shambles Date: 12 Nov 04 - 06:55 AM Note from UK TV companies.

Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: Blissfully Ignorant Date: 11 Nov 04 - 04:36 PM Well, i was all set for it happening in 2000. ON Hogmanay 1999, me and my friends got almightily drunk(who wants to be sober for armageddon?)and nothing happened. So we thought maybe they'd got the dates wrong..you know how unreliable these ancient prophcies are- and we did it again next year...and the next year...and the next year... Anyway, we've come to the conclusion that we must have saved the world when we were pissed. Please send us whisky so we can repeat the performance this year.365 more days of existance, for only ten bottles of Jack-you know you want to! |
Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Nov 04 - 04:35 PM Good article, dianavan. And essentially correct, I think. Kerry would have carried on much the same policy as Bush, but his election would have lulled people into a false sense of security for awhile, imagining that things were about to change for the better. It is in fact of more benefit that the real facts of the matter, which are dire, should not be camouflaged by merely "changing the curtains" on the White House. Progressive forces can rally more effectively against George Bush than would have been the case against John Kerry, because they already know who George Bush is. |

From: The Shambles Date: 11 Nov 04 - 01:13 PM How strange.........Dave I had been thinking about it today and I was just going to look the poem up and place it here, when I saw that you had already done so! I had just gotten off the bus - having also just told my fellow passengers that the world had ended and that it would soon be comfirmed on the BBC - so I was a bit tired. If there is to be a tomorrow - we have arranged to do it all again, then. |
Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: John MacKenzie Date: 11 Nov 04 - 12:46 PM Well Mr Bryant the thread title brought exactly the same poem to my mind [Penguin Modern Poets Number 10, McGough Henri & Patten] but you beat me to it. Lovely poem too. Giok ;~) |
Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: Dave Bryant Date: 11 Nov 04 - 12:38 PM If only I'd known about it earlier, I could have said to prettiest woman at hand, "Quick let's have sex, the world's about to end". There is this lovely poem by Roger McGough on the subject: At Lunchtime When the bus stopped suddenly To avoid damaging A mother and child in the road The young lady in the green hat sitting opposite Was thrown across me And not being one to miss an opportunity I started to make love At first, she resisted Saying that it was too early in the morning And too soon after breakfast And anyway, she found me repulsive But when I explained That this being a nuclear age The world was going to end at lunchtime She took off her green hat Put her bus ticket into her pocket And joined in the exercise The bus people And there were many of them Were shocked and surprised And amused and annoyed But when word got around That the world was going to end at lunchtime They put their pride in their pockets With their bus tickets And made love one with the other And even the bus conductor Feeling left out Climbed into the cab And struck up some sort of relationship with the driver That night On the bus coming home We were all a little embarrassed Especially me and the young lady in the green hat And we all started to say In different ways How hasty and foolish we had been But then, always having been a bit of a lad I stood up and said it was a pity That the world didn't nearly end every lunchtime And that we could always pretend And then it happened Quick as a crash We all changed partners And soon the bus was aquiver With white, mothball bodies doing naughty things And the next day And every day In every bus In every street In every town In every country People pretended That the world was coming to an end at lunchtime It still hasn't Although in a way it has |
