The Year is 2050..

Trotter

The year is 2050... a book has just been released called "Ireland 2000 - 2010 The Real Story".. Its a book about Ireland in general.. politics, life, sport.. etc.. except its based on documenting "certainties" in society that turned out to be completely untrue, to the shock of Irelands people.

Can anyone tell me whats in the book??

Heyes

I believe he speaks of a metaphorical book, yet to be written (and probably won't ever be), and is asking for our input on things that nowadays we think are sure fire, but will actually turn out differently.

Roy Keane going down as a God for example .

Getting driving tests down to 1-2 month waits (I believe this will happen, yet I think many are certain it won't).

Chapter one chronicles the post-celtic tiger years, where we looked set to revert back to a weak economy and house prices fell by about 20%...

Of course there'll be all the sordid details of the Bertie Ahern Corruption Tribunals.
The property market crash.
The rise and fall of the spin-party Sinn Fein.
And of course, Ireland's celebrated victory at the Fifa 'Microsoft' World Cup in 2040, beating Brazil in the recently completed Wembley Stadium.

Exactly Im thinking of all the politicians that we believe now are honourable people who will eventually end up in tribunals. The details of the M50 toll bridge saga will have come out, as will the details of discussions between the governments and Sinn Fein. I believe there'll be a hefty chapter on political cover ups.. and how certain people were caught out! (Bertie Bertie Bertie)

Ireland Reunifies in 2016 a hundred yrs to the day after the 1916 rising. Jefery Donaldson refuses the title Teachta Dala and all DUP Tds refuse to sit in the Dail. Joe Higgins suggested they stand instead of sit Jefery said If only old Ian were alive, he must turning in his grave, wherever it is! The threat of Civil War continues as Dublin players thrash "physically" Tyrone in Thurles in the League Cup final The Economy is pretty solid with Teresa Ferris appointed Minister for Finance in the SF/FF/Socialist Rainbow coalition. Albert Reynolds is making a name for himself as President, C&D opens three new plants in Saudi Arabia, Apparently 9/10 dogs can't spot the difference between Camel and Beef. George W. Bush is sentenced to 50yrs in jail for Corruption and for Illegally Invading Iraq, sadly Dick Cheney shot and Killed him on another Duck shoot in Texas. People are urging Irish EU Commissioner Bertie Ahern to show solidarity with the US people on the death of their ex-president by Joining Dick on his next trip, without body armour. In other news www.boards.ie has merged with Aol/Sky/TimeWarner/Canal to form the worlds biggest Media company to be renamed PacMan Industries. CEO Devore said the revolution began back in 2006 when a user called "netwhizkid" wrote an Interesting piece predicting the future, The surge of interest Crashed our servers twice. That was the beginning of big things. A user called Bubbles is on the Run for inventing a virus called Rectum Rash which exploits a hole in the back of the GoogleSoft 16 (Google having taken over MS in 09) Apparently he is hiding under the Stairs somewhere.

Anyway see ye all in 2016

I would imagine that Iain Paisley will probably get himself cryogenically frozen, so technically he will probably be still alive!!

Ireland's population reverts to be mainly rural by 2050, as tele-working, high speed internet connection penetration and cost of living increases.

Everyone gets hovercrafts :v:

Concentrate on what we see as true and normal now though.. Of what we witness today, what will be shocking when the real truth comes out?

Example.. Few in 1986 saw the Charlie Haughey thing coming.
