Dizzy Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Just another fire-work.   And it's free  On Wednesday morning when it has passed without wiping us out we can all shout 'Happy Days'... and if it does zap us then that's a bit of bugger eh ?

Dizzy Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Why are you confused Peter?  Harry said it's "just another firework"... I replied "and it's free" (have you seen the price of fireworks these days Peter )  Anyway....If it misses us and we are still alive on Wednesday we can all be be happy (well depending on your outlook on life of course)... if the scientists have got it wrong and it hits Warrington for example then that's a bugger as I wont be able to whinge about it on Wednesday  Hardly rocket science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 A direct hit may be preferable Diz; depending on the size of the asteroid; the one that killed off the Dinosaurs also eliminated around 80% of other life, including plant life.

Cleopatra Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Don't worry folk. If it hits the world it wont hit Britain. - But it might drop into the sea, so I hope you all like fish because it will scatter all the fish all over Britain. - Â In a massive flood tide that will drown everyone - including the Poles and illegal immigrants, so that will be one problem solved for you, eh?
