Its 10.45pm and you turn on the telly to discover that the world is going to end in 15 minutes after being hit by a big comet that not even Bruce Willis can stop. What will be your last meal and what song will you listen to in your remaining time on this mortal coil?
I'd run down to my local chippy, get fish and chips, sprint back again, put on "Groove Is In The Heart" and hide under a table. |

I think the chippy might be shut mate.

| They haven't got a television or a radio in my chippy so they'd be unaware of the impending collision. |

I think they may take a wander out to the street to ask why everyone was in such a hurry

| Mmmm, perhaps you're right. I might just have some toast instead. That will give me time to listen to "Groove Is In The Heart" twice. Plus I could ring the people at the chippy and warn them thus giving me extra brownie points with God which may just be enough to get me into heaven. Everyones a winner. |

why dont we just get on with the topic (which is a top topic) and stop getting bogged down in whether or not the bleedin' chippy will be open.
I would pick my nose and eat it and sing 'gimme shelter' x |

OK sorry love we'll forget Zabrinski and have a record of your choice.
As long as it's not INXS FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

| I'd have a big bowl of crack, follwed up with a side order of smack shot directly into my eyeballs... perhaps a glass of chianti as well. I assume I'd be listening to the sweet sounds of London turning itself inside out. |

Why are you all into such 'do-able' things in your last minutes? How about doing something you've never done since your time is nearly done?
Love and Peace

I would do something usual as well, something that makes me feel comfortable and safe (as fuck) in every day life. There wouldn't be much time to do something new anyway, and what if you didn't like it? I wouldn't like to waste the last 15 minutes on something stupid.
I wish that I was at home when I heard the news. I would listen to 'One Last Hurrah' for the one last time because it would be appropriate for the situation, and then I would call my controversial girlfriend (she lives more than 15 minutes away from me so I couldn't meet her) and just say a couple of nice words and goodbyes. After that I'd like to meet my family who's important to me after all, and one minute and fifteen seconds before the disaster, I would start to listen to 'Lazarus'. 30 seconds remaining: I would find a two euros coin and put it under my tongue - it's for the Boatman Charon to transport me across the Styx, I wouldn't like to wait next to the river for 100 years before being allowed into the underworld!  I would spend the last minutes and seconds of my life just thinking of all the good things and memories, all my friends and family... I think it would be a beautiful moment, not necessarily so sad.
The comet would hit the Earth just a couple of seconds after 'Lazarus' reaches its best part - the part where the trumpets and all the instruments join in.

I've never sat under a table eating fish and chips while listening to Deee-Lite so that would be a new experience for me.
I like the idea of Tommy trying to pick an appropriate bit of a song to coincide with the end of the world. With this in mind I'll change my selection so as the comet hits I'm listening to the scary instrumental bit in the middle of "You Made Me Realise". However I'm bound to get the timing wrong though and my last words will on Earth will be, "Shit, I'm going to have to rewind it....". |
