armageddon

[chiron]

does anyone know about this theory by the goths about the world ending on this thursday?

[FastBarry]

Oh f**k must remember to cancel the papers and milk.

Sorry, this is a joke, right? Have you been watching too much Coronation Street perchance?

All this rubbish about Armageddon was made up by some bored scriptwriters too bored to do some research. Or perhaps by some scriptwriters who did some research, discovered that Goths are basically completely normal people who just chose to wear black and decided to just revert back to plan A to attempt to boost the ratings of a flagging soap.

There is no 'Goth Central' where all the Goths go to receive word about 'Armageddon' - it's not an organised cult, it's just a Western sub-culture!

And quite frankly, if Armageddon were to be this Thursday, why would the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Germany have been organised for May? There's 40,000 Goths who are going to be very upset after pre-booking their tickets if the world does end this week.

Unless they mean some dark age prophecy from goths of the Visi kind?

[dosset]

not really worthy of an answer

[Clare A]

Oh, don't be unkind, dosset! That's not like you. Look at it this way - we're all still here... aren't we? Anyone?

On BBC Radio 2 today Richard Allinson played The Cult's 'She Sells Sanctuary'. When I hear it I am always transported in my imagination to a dark Goth club, dancing in a bohemian way, as a strobe light flashes. Is it just me...?

[Jules001]

well if it is, I am certainly not going to waste my time and finish the ironing :)

[jakesi]

Just after Corrie and before Eastenders   :)

[honkytonkman]

World ending?? Awww not again!! That's about the 4th time I can rememember that happening :( I don't see how wearing black nail polish and lipstick makes Goths think they can predict Armaggedon....

I am becoming a daddy to twins on Thursday, so there may be an element of truth in it for me.

[KebabMeister]

I'll let you know on Friday.

[Artemis]

Absolute rubbish. Everyone knows the end of the world as we know it will occur in December 2012.

[Carlos26]

congrats, glossop swift m8.

Getting back to the original question, could it be related to the gregorian calendar being apparently a few years out?

[donegal]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaonly one day left

[emma12435678]

i hope not!

[WaldoMcFroog]

Is it this afternoon?

[Jules001]

well I'm still here and so is my ironing:) is everyone else still out there?

[PinkDD]

Hello, as there are lots of people milling about, trains are running, airplanes are still flying around etc., etc., then the world as we know it still remains the same we are all still here!...............have a good weekend!   :0)  x

[Flurfl]

Oh well, back to the paperwork then :-)

[gazzawazza]

Mmmm, perhaps the world has ended and we just didn't notice?

[wobblywicca]

Please tell me that you are only kidding!  My mum, my bestest friend in the world is going to have her heart checked (echo test), on Thursday.........I really should stop reading these board things!

Regards, see you on Friday,
