......or should we be concerned.

Over the last few weeks, there have been a number of references to August 22 by the Iranian President and various Muslim leaders. This is the date when Iran promises to give a response to the US about their Nuclear capability, but it also seems to be a significant date in the Muslim calendar. Cataclysmic events are prophesised.

Iran has begun it's biggest series of military manouvres for years.

There are many more links around. Is it just the ravings of another religious nutjob given credence by the US right wingers?

I do feel slightly worried now.

Me too, for a whole variety of reasons. I hope my friend comes home before then.

Toom Tabard then.

Thankfully.

Sorry, those dots were annoying me.

Iran is now ready to talk "seriously" about its nuclear programme.

But the semiofficial Fars news agency reported that Iran rejected calls to suspend "nuclear activities" or uranium enrichment and "instead has offered a new formula to resolve the issues through dialogue."

Keep everybody talking whilst you carry on doing just what you want to

Are we to take it that the cataclysm of the 22nd didn't happen then?

Maybe it did and we're all in denial. Are we actually here at all?

Clearly not.

I thought we were all just figments of Footbacon's imagination, anyway?
