End of the world on December 21, 2012 - your doomsday survival kit guide

The end of the world is nigh - or is it? The end of the world is nigh - or is it?

ACCORDING to various doomsday beliefs, December 21, 2012 is set to be the end of the world.

If you buy into the theory that the Mayan calendar is coming to an end and have accepted that if true this means a cataclysmic event or huge transformation is looming, you’ll be bracing yourself for a very big day on Friday.

Should you be one of the ‘doomsday preppers’ you’ll already be busy with building a ship to take refuge in the seas, building your own bunker, stocking up on candles and looking for supplies needed to survive the apocalypse.

For those tardy ones among you who are not yet in a complete state of readiness, here are some handy hints from trade site Alibaba.com on a few essential, and some non-essential, items to help in case of emergency.

What time's it all kicking off? Hope it's last minute of the day as then at least I'll be drunk! Got a good night planned on Friday.

The best thing to do is to ignore it. If it IS the end of the world survival kits would be no use at all. Happy Christmas everyone...... I don't believe that it's all going to end on the 21st!!
