Your Say

Not the quickest firework in the box.

This is an important message for you all that I have had for ten years now. I am sorry I hesitated.

More recently, I have become emboldened by the writings of others and their thoughtful considerations upon their theory of Earth As A Cradle Of Life and the insistence, by some, for the need to prepare for matters to come and go, wondering off hither n yon, among the stars. I have reasoned that it needed some further and very careful thought, but needs must. Though such an unattractive notion for those among you, like myself, who are somewhat challenged in the balance department, there might just be something in their ideas of spreading the human seedling about a bit.

Avoiding my getting further embroiled in any more of this highly charged and very debatable philosophy, I really must press on.

After much extrapolation and much checking over of my mathematical theorems and allowances, duly made, for some small footling margin of error… Ooh dear! The World will end on Wednesday 26th August 2009 at 11:32 am. GMT, precisely Sorry!

    Just out of interest, do you have a lot of spare time on your hands?

  2. Adolf Submitted 5 months ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!

    So, 12.32pm BST tomorrow. Do you think you’ll have to spend tomorrow evening re-working your calculations?

    Ch23, mayhap just a tad. Ha! 6-BSUG etc. I, of course, will look forward to that, but I will need another set of buttons for my Casio fx-83ES, cos m’ Cos n Tan has fallen off.

    As you are, no doubt, only too well aware it is very important to know exactly where you are in time n space before gazing at the stars, for one would not wish to fall down a well and it is far from simple to translate the simplest of coordinates between the polar and rectangular plane by the equation X = Scos of a: Y = Ssin a and the reverse transforming to S = root of X squared plus Ysquared and A = arctan of Y divided by X, where α is of course, the direction and s is, obviously, the distance,when you do not have all your button on!

    You are over analysing the question. The concrete is either all around you, or else it is in your head.

    Now Ch23, I knew you would be cross, re the tardiness of my warning and I will regret it to my dying day. However since this is imminent, we all can happily say, “Every cloud (of doom) has a silver lining.” Hey ho!

    I thought it was a boxer, who said, "Every clout has a silver lining".

    Now,, on their Sunday morning gardening prog courtesy of Auntie BBC on Radio Humberside 8:00 till 10:00 and Re-potted at 10:00 pm same day, Blair asks Dug for seven jobs for seven days?

    I just wondered any suggestions for jobs for the next two hours n fifty minutes?

    Hi there Colombo, did you resolve the question on Warfarin? I hope all is well?

  10. AR-TONY Submitted 5 months ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!

    As you do, when your doom is but a few hours away, I have settled my differences with next-door’s cat, I have thrown out Mrs AR-T’s prized collection of Scots Short Bread and American Cookies sent by her, now Canadian, brother. The local Rooks are eating all with relish, those Rooks will eat anything. I also thought it reasonable to give away her well preserved wedding dress to the local charity The West Hull Society Of Fallen Women. I have kept my Deer Stalker, woollen mittens, Plus Fours, roller skates and best going out clogs. I know its pure sentiment, but I wanted something familiar near me, as Mrs AR-T will be out shopping, some people have no sense of occasion.

    AR-Tony: Thanks for asking – I see my GP tomorrow.

    The many folks known to me who are on Warfarin have few, most not any, concerns. All things in moderation is the watchword.

    This Prophet O’ Doom business is fraught with unkind hazards. One must cheerfully accept the odd stinging barb, even the occasional well aimed boot, but life is only rich in its many disappointments. Sadly the rapprochement betwixt self and afore mentioned moggie has come to nought, he has taken a cruel and uncaring advantage of my rhubarb and is eyeing up my only pals, the Rooks.

    Phew! 11:34 GMT, well who would’ve thought it?

  15. Colombo Submitted 5 months ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!

    AR-Tony: It’s nice to be wrong, now and again; and, apparently good for the soul. Incidentally, are you sure they are rooks and not crows?

    AR-Tony,Well I have got to say this is all bad news.I have booked up for the new Premier Inn in the Town Centre for 4 nights starting 3rd Sept and because its a special offer,I don’t get a refund if I don’t turn up.Can you recheck your calculations Tony as I was really looking forward to returning to my home town one more time.Afterwards,I return to my miserable existence in Scotland,so the end of the world will be more bearable

    I forgot to add-does that mean the America Rock Band,’Grateful Dead’, will go on a reunion tour?

  18. AR-TONY Submitted 5 months ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!

    Colombo, taking your first point as read, my soul must be quite safe and good job, because Mrs AR-T might very soon dispatch it. And yes these clever birds are indeed Rooks. Harry, come home all is well, must get calculator fixed. As to the Grateful Dead one more reunion? Who knows, they might again, they must have clocked more miles than any other band, if you include all of their various reincarnations. Surely Albion isn’t all bad?

  19. alanmackinnon Submitted 5 months ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!

    Albion may not be all bad or all good, but it is always perfidious or so the Greeks said….they weren’t far wrong either if you look at the history of our sceptred isle

    When looking at the specifying of dates, it could be useful to know which system of measurement is being used. For instance, the Jewish system starts some several years before any Christian system, and even ours has a gap of some days, I believe, in the 16th or 17th centuries.

  21. AR-TONY Submitted 5 months ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!

    I have done much independent research only to realise just how many had, long before me, arrived at either the same or very similar conclusions. An extremely brief dash through history, as perceived by me and others…

    Around Mesopotamia man starts accounting for his burgeoning wealth, numbers develop into various simple forms of writing and primary letters take the name of the various numbers, which continues most obviously in the language of the Jew to this day. Now numbers and their corresponding letters have fascinated some Jewish minds for a long time. They will riddle away to the end of time. This has proven to be an unhealthy pastime. They took Moses’ account of “their” history, designed to unite them into a common group with a common philosophy and retrospectively moved events about in time to further prove their understanding of the regularity in God’s process. Patterns once accepted as proven can and do then inspire further searches for more of the same. Having established that there was regularity in God’s method, (and why not?) they then tried to perceive the future intent of God. “Oh!” they said, “look here, this happened then, there and obviously it will, therefore happen again at this future point.” Meaningful and pertinent processes were afoot and they, the scribblers had “guessed” them so they turned to prophesy. So while the rest of, us including the majority of the Hebrew folk, just said our amens and tried to get on with life, the soothsayers stitched themselves up and caused much unintentional mischief, for then other diviners of God’s intentions have followed on across the Earth. All of these soothsayers have rounded upon the hapless and, mostly disinterested, Jew and hounded him throughout for not observing all these patterns. The Jew is roundly condemned by all and sundry, for his none observance of his own book. Play with numbers, if you must, but only remember that it is all about the plough and the seasons, the greater of which is ever changing to a long cold and famine. On a more cheerful note, it might… MIGHT… just be possible that man has completely altered things for his future benefit, by warming the atmosphere enough to stave off the return of the ice. The cruel joke is on all of us, for we have squandered a golden age as the Earth, like a great pendulum swings about on her axis and we move, once again, into more testing and far less pleasant times.
