When it tunnels out, we can only hope it tunnels too deep and exits at the other side of the world. That should buy us valuable time to make up our emergency plan to resettle the population of europe on mars.....

I say buy her wargaming presents. If the world ends, you can die a happy man that you escaped one birthday present, If the world survives, just tell her that you thought she would never had got it anyway :p

Bearing in mind that both races are effectively extinct it didn't do either of them a huge amount of good, did it.  :d

There are no races in the human species. >:(

Actually, many forms of Nahuatl (Aztec language) are still spoken today.
And there is still Mayan people, too.

Under the rules of being a wargamer I won't die until I have painted my last figure in mt lead mountain ( If my partner is reading this its really a very small pile weighing about a kilo) :d

So my comclusion is that there are Five options:-

1 Some on is going to have to break into my house and paint all my figures in the next 24 hours for me (no chance as I have enough to see me to 152 years old)
2 That Rules of being a wargamer don't apply to real life ( Brain cannot compute this  :D)
3 Its not the end of the world tomorrow  :o
4 It is the end of the world tommorow and I am going to heaven where I will be able to paint and game all day and every day while being brough mugs of ale by  attractive scantilly clad ladies from the top totty page  ;) :P
5 It is the end of the world tommorow and I am going to hell where I will be forced to assemble and paint badly fitting GW figures to play GW games with lots of spotty brats  >:( >:( :(

So I am routing for number 4

Well...
It's well past 11:11 here.....
I've been standing on the top of the nearest hill, armed with two cameras and a camcorder....Nothing to take pictures of apart from a dull sky.....a few sheep, cows and horses....an aardvark, which turned out to be a rock...and water running down the sides of the hill.

What a let down !....Pathetic.
If that was the end of the world, you can keep it !......Very unimpressive to my mind ;)

'Spose I'll have to push some more putty about then. ;D ;D ;D

So true Nosher and Orc..... I happen to be between those two generations. Using the stuff but with a more mature attitude.

The end of the world for me was to read a 10th graders' answer to the question of naming 3 scandinavian countries. Denmark, Sweden, Northpole  #-o

Generation Google can at least gather information but has no clue how to sort, much less use them. But it could come worse. People that post mindless blab on fakebook believe Big Brother and X-Factor is the real world cannot grasp most simple ideas how the world functions. :-\

I daresay we look into a bleak future if nothing is done.

But is that as good as what an old colleague at GW came out with....?

"'Ere.....Hitler...right.....Was he in the first World War ?"
To which he got the reply....
"Yes 'X'.....he was a corporal."

"Aaaah.....So was he in the second World War as well ?"
