Shangri La Countdown

[bennyhana22]

at mid day that the PM visits the queen though so could be in refrence to that

Just for a chinwag, apparently. Since the Fixed Term Parliament Act there's no longer a need for the PM to ask the monarch for permission to

dissolve parliament.

Right.....

Everyone back at 1 then? Just in case.

Agreed

Not like we can do any work now anyway

[Memory Man]

maybe they were going to announce something but its been veto'd (SP?) by another part of the festival. who knows!

info will come out when it comes out i guess, all we can do is wait.

Posted this in the other thread but....

Pessimistic side: Nothing's happening.

Optimistic: Countdown was meant to be for 12am according to the link (http://itsalmo.st/#here_rudts)... Maybe it was just counting down until today rather than an exact time?

Though that election idea looks likely too now...

They said we were getting an announcement at 12 and then nothing happened

and now we don't know what's going on

I think the 12am thing is misleading. It's just bad coding.

I agree. I think that they wanted to countdown to today but didn't want the countdown ending at midnight.

Well to set one of those up you pick a time. So whoever at Shangri-La made the countdown chose 12am. It's the best to get today I suppose,

I really enjoyed scrolling down that, Gnomicide. The countdown voice immediately surfaced from childhood memories!

Did you go see it on The Park last year?

Brilliant when the countdown kicked in.

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP YOUR COMPOSURE!!

No, I missed it! Can't remember where I was, but I remember seeing my mate approaching me with a disturbingly large grin on his face and it turned out he'd just come from it.

I did, it was glorious. They even played the music from that Captain Scarlett episode where the Mysterons attack Cloudbase with obnoxiously loud music. Last October I went to a Gerry Anderson marathon at my local independent cinema. Four hours of Supermarionation. What more could you want?

I did, I was too hungover to appreciate it though mind.

I really do enjoy speculation on these forums. It's definitely a substantial part of my life but. Recently I've began to think that we're speculating to much for our own good.

Like a load of children thinking of what toy tractor we'll get for Christmas.

Especially when an announcement never actually happens.

I wouldn't call talking about a countdown started by an Official page speculation. I'd call it odd on their part. They could have at least come out and said what it was all about now it's over, even if they don't reveal all. I know we've jumped to conclusions at times, but this isn't exactly clutching at straws.

If I was the person who tweeted that I would be absolutely pissing my sides at the uproar...

Brilliant entertainment

Maybe it was a countdown, until they started working on the real countdown?
