Don't worry about it too much.

You'll be sinking VB's and eating ham on a typical stinking hot Aussie Chrissie Day before you know it.

One thing is certain; our "leaders" are privy to a lot of information that the rest of us are kept in the dark about. Their ways are folly however; king rats are still rats.

Ok, starting to re-think my position on 'nothing is going to happen' stance.

Had a look at the UK Parliament diary and it is basically the same as the US one linked above with the exception of one entry on 1st March 2013.

Lots of things in the diary up until the 20th (where they seem to go on xmas holidays), but even after the date of coming back there is nothing scheduled in. Don't they usually have things scheduled in weeks before hand??

UK Parliament diary

They're in recess till 7th January. On the 7th January this is scheduled in.

at this moment, i'm guessing Obama is in bed asleep or whatever he gets up to in bed.

you have waited years for this day?

i knew the average IQ on this site was falling but this must take it to an all time low.

That's true, though I see they have no start time listed, like they do with other schedules.
Can't believe there is nothing going on in parliament from 7th January to 1st March though.

Let's just hope it doesn't mean anything. Had at one point been wary of this date, then the more I read the more I thought, naaa, it's a load of rubbish, nothing is going to happen. But when wee things like this appear, it makes me wonder if something is going to go down, be it natural or instigated.

Is it normal for the schedule to be blank after the current day? How far ahead is it usually publicly available? I wouldn't know. If not that is a bit odd, I'm sure it's a coincidence though.

You guys really are going to feel stupid when the 21st comes and goes. You should feel ashamed of becoming victims of media hype. You should all know better.

DOH! My bad! Yes I was looking at the main chamber, in my rising panic I didn't notice the other tabs.......phew..... thank you for arresting my fears!

Have a good Christmas

this may be a strange request but...can anyone else in australia where it is now dark see any stars.

this is the second night now that we have had no stars.

double post

reply to post by bellagirl


I live on the Coral Sea, but cannot see any stars due to cloud cover, sorry I couldn't help.

It could be due to haze from bush fires, we've had a bit of that around here.

helps to know where you are.

I could check the weather and tell you there is cloud cover over your area.

when there is cloud cover it blocks the stars lol.

im in the greater sydney area. have asked friends and no one can see them either. its the second night in a row now. have even asked a friend about 200k's away and she cant see any either. nothing on radar.

Somebody call that hospital, see if Kate is still in there. Oh, wait... They probably wouldn't give you any informationunless you were a family member... Oh well, there goes that idea.

Um its like partly cloudy in your area.

Plus you have lots of light pollution. I seen stars last night. and I think I will see them tonight.
