The End Is Nigh

[Khandro]

In London - a long time ago. There was a 'sandwich' man who continually walked up & down Oxford street bearing a sign; 'The End of the World is Nigh'

Will he yet be proved to be prophetic?

The end has been nigh for as long as I can nigh on remember.

Off theme, London had lots of interesting characters in the sixties. Does anyone else remember Prince Monolulu, who used to walk round with a headdress of ostrich feathers?

before my time, but I think he appears on the racetrack in the Anna Neagle film Derby Day.

I'll acknowledge the prophet who declares, 'The end is nigh', when they follow it through with their own demise.

Now then Mibs, you know the context.
"The End Is Nigh," is a call to people to address their relationship with God in these end times.
Hopefully some will heed the warning.

As an aside, I would love to post some video links but our resident censor admonishes me for such behaviour.
But look up Dr James Tour, David Berlinski, and John Polkinghorne, all scientists of world renown.

Gerald Celente, economist of great repute, warns of an even bigger crash than 2008.
Another signal about the end is nigh.
He estimates just after 2020 the crash will come.
Hold on to your baubles baby.

I gotta horse!

Celente's predictions have been labelled //"pessimism porn" for their doom and the alleged eschatological thrill some people receive from imagining his predictions of the collapse of civil society in the wake of a global economic crisis//

That’s one way to get your kicks, Theland.

mamyalynne. A 'Sandwich Man' (never a woman) didn't sell sandwiches, he was called that be cause he bore a sign on his front & one on his back, so he was effectively the filling in the sandwich.
Stanley Green carried his signs on a pole so he wasn't a sandwich man.

[naomi24]

^His 'overcoat' was called a 'sandwich board' - because it 'sandwiched' him - a 'slice' back and front.

[Khandro]

In my previous post I asserted that there were no sandwich women which I believe to be true; on giving it more thought, could the reason for this be anatomical?

[naomi24]

^Ouch!

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you for explaining.

[Theland]

Another forecast that doesn't suit your entrenched world view.

Yellowstone is built inside the massive crater of a volcano, which unfortunately for humanity, is very overdue for an eruption.

When, not if, it does erupt, it will wipe out the majority of humanity and start another ice age.

We're doomed...!

If I understand you then, that would solve Brexit, so not all bad. :-)

There was a sandwich-board man in Scarborough on Friday. He was sitting-down having his lunch - a sandwich. His board read 'YOU WILL ALL DIE SOON'. Bit of a change, I suppose, we commented on it.

Another economist with dire warnings, if you believe him.

[douglas9401]

The ramblings of a sandwich board man, a mere baguetelle.

[Theland]

Quite a few influential economists are predicting a massive crash post 2020 , worse than 2008,
So the end is nigh.
