This is a bit late but I’ve only just been alerted to it, courtesy of the Fortean Times Forum: Professor challenges Mayan calendar opinion Posted on Thursday, 16 March, 2006 The end of the world will come on Dec. 21, 2012. Or not. While some New Age authors and teachers are touting that date as […]
Son has decided that he will move into Trevor’s flat. So today he set the wheels in motion by coming with us into town and going to see the letting agent – she handles both his and our tenancies. Agent was somewhat put out; but we fully expected this, as she always appears to be […]
