    If the country’s elite new that the world was going to explode in a few years theyd just massively enrich all of themselves and their mates living a life of debauched luxury

    whilst letting living standards and social amenities deteriorate for the rest of us………..

    If we knew it too, we probably wouldn’t let them…

    Just took a look at Copenacre…I see that the BBC would have got dedicated offices and accommodation. At least we’d have still got Eastenders.

    The Earth does definitely have a finite lifespan.

    Its a safe bet that none of us will live to see the end of it though.

    Apparently most apocalyptic fears are as a result of our inability to cope with our own mortality. The idea the world will continue to function after we are dead seems unfair that’s why apocalyptic fantasies are so popular and enduring. It makes our place in the universe seem more important if the world ends when we do.

    Some friends of mine have been looking at the furthest extents of the megatsunami which will be caused by Cumbre Vieja and are looking for property to buy (and stock with large quantities of supplies) for the event which they seem to expect ‘quite soon’.

    Comet Ison is coming- what if they got the maths wrong?

    Personally, i’d like to be utterly oblivious of it- i mean theres nothing you could do about it is there?

    Definitely going for the alpha male route then – I think I could pull this look off quite well…

    In terms of nearly every other large animal species, we humans have been perpetrating a mass extinction event for the last 10,000 years. In evolutionary terms this timescale is practically as sudden as the K2 event event that accounted for the dinosaurs.

    Our turn will come.I don’t want to be gloomy, but Yellowstone could blow, an asteroid could hit. Or as something more mundane like the AIDS virus managing to mutate so it could be transmitted like malaria. Of course, the likelihood of these things happening in the next couple of hundred years is not enough to make any rational person start stockpiling bully beef and rice, but it does put life’s petty irritations into perspective!

    I’d like to have enough notice so that I could take the opportunity to have a few choice words with the disgusting insufferable harpy that is my Head of Department….

    I most certainly am not!
    To set your mind at rest; Sam would be getting the good stuff and cherie would be made to stand in the corner with a carrot in her bum.

    Would you actually enjoy being in the human equivalent of an ant colony, toiling ceaselessly until you die?

    Erm…that pretty much sums us up!

    Re. the carrot.

    Could a small voltage of say, 240v be run through it during it’s residency?

    Please.

    My last request. Thank you.
