Devizes, Wilts - (Armageddinouttahere! Mess): Count on it. Mayan calendar wingnuts are in for one helluva cataclysmic shock.
The sudden appearance in a Devizes rapeseed field of a 400 foot Phoenix rising-from-the-asses crop circle has sparked widepsread hysteria about a December 21 2012 Armageddon.

"Smart money's on the death of Queen Elizabeth!" a GCHQ source said, authoritatively.
