    Viet Cong used to wear black pyjamas so obviously they will side with the people on the dole.

    An elderly relative will pass away. A job opportunity will arise (dont be afraid to trust your instinct on that one) and there may be some tension between you and someone close (remember friends are their for support).

    The UK slips into double dip recession (If indeed it hasnt done so already)

    Ireland comes under pressure from IMF/EU to hold emergency budget with PAYE increases, Across the board welfare cuts (including pensions and child benefit) and unprecedented public service cuts Coalition looks like cracking but ultimately survives.

    Signs of economic slowdown in China sends markets into a panic.

    Greeks exit Euro (not necessairly voluntairly) but remaining countries stay on board. Poland announces it is putting plans to join on hold. As Greek situation goes from bad to worse emigration rises (mainly to Germany but across Northern Europe)

    EU sets date for Croatian membership but still no firm date for Turkey (despite increacing US pressure).

    Crime rate across Ireland rises (sharpest rises in provincial towns where rising heroin addiction starts to become evident)

    As sure as it will rain in 2012 there will be increasing financial difficulties for most people except of course for the minority of rich and influential who will continue to prosper to an even more noticeable extent, for taxes, reduced profits from shares/ hefty pensions etc and an even sicker economy will hardly affect them,financially or in conscience.

    Regional war in the middle East after a US and/or Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran respond with missile attacks on US bases in Gulf states dragging those states into the conflict. Hizbullah and Hamas will launch reprisal attacks across the borders into Israel with the predicable massive retaliation from Israel. Commercial shipping attacks in Hormuz will increase insurance costs so dramatically that tankers will not use the strait which will push oil to >$250 per barrel. US has no option but to put boots on the ground to ensure safe passage of global oil supplies. London Olympics postponed due to security concerns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,076 ✭✭✭✭LordSutch


    Sinead O'Connor to become a nun again.

    North & South Vietnam go to war again.

    One (or two) PIGS leave the Eurozone!

    Warmest summer ever in Britain & Ireland.

    I seen the Girl with the Dragon tattoo, and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander pretty much nailed the part. There is something beguiling about her, I think it might be her year.

    Ireland is dumped out of the Euro (along with some other PIIGS).
    The Daily express says that house prices are rising.
    The Olympic torch is stolen while en-route via Dublin.
    The US has a go at Iran and regret it!
    The EU reverts back to something like the old EEC.
    North Korea decides that "if you can't beat them, join them and starts reunification talks with the south.
    21 December 2012 will be a normal day, doomers will feel gloomy as nothing happened! :pac:
    February will be colder than usual, then "summer" will be one day in May.

    Thatcher & Prince Phillip will die - one within a few weeks of the Olympics. Cue OTT displays of hysteric public mourning as the Brits attempt to defeat the North Koreans in who can be the best at mourning. Most of the focus at both funerals is on what Kate Middleton is wearing and ooh - did Prince Harry just look at Pippa, was he wiping a tear away or what did he say? Call the lip-readers in, we may have a new Royal wedding on the cards.

    I really, sincerely hope it doesn't happen (I work in the travel industry) but that Icelandic volcano is looking very likely.

    And of course, Heat magazine will be kept in business as Ashley and Cheryl Cole reunite and she gets knocked up and he makes a sex tape with someone from Tallafornia, Beyonce's baby turns out to be a reincarnation of Michael Jackson and can sing and dance before the age of 6 months and Lady Gaga cuts off her ear or something equally mental.

    Snap out of that dream-world little feller, cause things do change quickly and can bite you on the ass when you least expect it. if everything stayed the same all the time we wouldn't be progressing.

    Watch in horror as things change from january to march coming. if you miss it then maybe you might think that things have not changed. all you will hear from today till next year is the Euro is doing this and that and floating and drowning and suffocating and rolling around in a stuper until the little bastard Euro falls dead and all the idiots running after it like merkel will just sit back and relax for 5 minutes and realise that it was all a big bad game as the rest of us struggle to print into the punt or the sterling. the Euro is the devil and the E.U is the slave to it. Burn the fcuker and lets Go.

    Ireland comes under pressure from IMF/EU to welfare cuts and unprecedented public service pay and pensions cuts. They no longer see why we should be paying almost double what their own get.

    Mass protests on streets, rioting.
