    Right, it’s on. After the remarkable and largely unforseen events of 2016, What do we predict for the upcoming twelve months then?

    I’m going to call for:

    i) Milo Yiannopoulos for Whitehouse press secretary
    ii) State funeral and Coronation (though I’m not going to call whether the Crown ends up going to Charles or Wills)
    iii) Le-Pen win in French elections

    1) Trump will continue to be a t**t
    2) May will continue to be t**t and make Cameron look like a tie-dyed hippy
    3) The world will continue to spin
    4) We will continue to screw up said world (also see 1 and 2).
    5) I predict I will be determined to try harder to attempt to begin the process of starting to be happy, despite 1, 2 and 4 above.

    A catastrophic environmental discovery is made that is so conclusive and devastating that it cannot be ignored. This leads to the mass realisation that we have gone and truly messed up and we should have listened to the experts and acted decades ago. Too late now, the clock starts ticking down to a mass population loss never before seen, world plunges into chaos and full blown world war erupts. The mass migration of people and the associated human disaster that follows including famine and pandemic disease changes life forever for those that manage to survive. Oh and some minor celebs will die either due to lifestyle or natural causes and before the end of January idiots will be proclaiming 2017 as more cursed than 2016.

    Happy New Year, I can hardly wait.

    Someone will lie.
    Someone will post spurious vids and links.
    Someone will use the quote function to death.

    Nope. Nothing to do with STW forum.

    Put it this way I will be so extremely happy that I will have a permanent grin on my face once all wishes come true for me in 2017 and they will.

    I shall then announce them one by one … joy to the world! Joy! :mrgreen:

    Recession, depression and no concessions.
    We are divided.. Politically, morally and financially.
    It will be the year of huge austerity and selling our souls to stay afloat.
    People thought 2016 was bad because a few celebrities died.. 2017 is really going to sting.

    I’d say wikileaks reveals she’s been replaced by a lizard, but then they’re all lizards anyway.

    The BBC will finally put the past-his-sell-by-date Jools Holland out to grass and dump the appalling and tedious “Hootenanny”.

    A fit again Loic Bruni and Danny Hart do battle in the downhill World Cup and elevate the competition to a whole new level, with death or glory cameos from Greenland and Vergier thrown into the mix. Even Gwin is made to look like a steady, old school type rider.

    Endless must have new innovations. I will keep riding my old bikes.

    Politics

    A50 triggered after Parliament votes massively in favour
    Trump will do a decent job, there will be much eating of humbe pie by politicians critical of him
    Le Pen will win in France and if she does not Fillion will be elected with an FN type programme maybe even with the promise of a referendum on euro membership
    Merkel will be relected but on a much more anti-immigration / anti-EU leaning programme. AfD will have a significant and noisy Bundestag presence
    Wilders will dominate the airways in Holland and increase his party’s prescence in parliament
    Italians will threaten a Referendum on euro membership but fail to see it through
