End of the world?
Being a keen astronomist I have been watching the stories about Nibiru 2012 and until now have been quite sceptical. Here is a snippet of a doc I watched the other day… see what you make of it…I’m not too sure anymore!
Stocking up for Christmas
So Christmas is on its way, as it always is at this time of year. I’m at quite a loose end this time around, as I won’t be spending it at my mothers or back in Manchester like I did last year. I’ll be alone. Well, I’ll be with the cats of course, but I’ll [...]
