    People who spent all of 2020 bickering about what sectors should close or remain open, whether we should social distance/ travel 5km from home etc will instead bicker over who gets the vaccine first and twitch the curtains looking to see if those already vaccinated are starting to behave recklessly.

    Dogs all over the country will need therapy as they try to adjust to owners returning to the office.

    Actually, employees will probably need therapy too.

    Confirmed existence of other life forms visiting us, whether alien or inter-dimensional. And the return of old Monster Munch.

    Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk will get richer by foisting their AI overlords upon us

    Xi Jingping will consolidate his power more and stir up sh1t in Hong Kong
    Several months will be the hottest on record
    The budget will be painful but they will start warming us up for it well in advance
    The vaccine will be a bit of a let down with multiple new strains appearing to which it is ineffective
    We will continue along the yoyo scenario multiple lockdowns timed carefully to avoid the most touristy-spendy parts of the year.
    Bitcoin will continue on it's rollercoaster fluctuating value ride
    Woke culture will start going out of fashion slightly as transgender folk are deemed to have "had their day in the spotlight"

    I'd happily take all of this if it means we don't need to put up with wokeism anymore :D

    You'll still have to put up with it. Just wont be quite as bad. I am planning my escape to Greenland where they are too busy shivering to waste energy on such frivolous carry on. You have to take matters into your own hands. Can't idly stand by while the future happens to you

    1) Probably not. I think it will stabalise and we'll get back to "normalish" but face masks and handwashing are here for good.
    2) Maybe with a roar and a fart and a stutter
    3) Oh God no way - I'd sooner Steve Coogan did it in character.

    After a series of unfortunate events, Princess Beatrice becomes Queen of the United Kingdom, dissolves Parliament to regain sovereignty, pardons her Father, gives asylum to the Trumps, invades Cavan as a precursor to a triumphant nationalist fervour mongering glory filled war which goes astray. Merkel, Macron and von der Leyen agree to nuke London, the non-radioactive rump state of the former United Kingdom applies to rejoin the European Union under the nation's savior Nicola Sturgeon.

    Lockdown to last till April, normality to return by the end of august.
    Dublin to win the all Ireland.
    Ireland to do surprisingly well in the world Cup qualifing campaign but lose in the play offs.
    Brexit to hit the UK hard and fast.
    Scotland to have concrete plans for another referendum in 2022.
    Trump to face criminal charges by the end of the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,148 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    A few more celebrities will die

    Mayo will **** up again and lose another AI final

    The return of Tipperary winning the AI Hurling

    A massive terror attack somewhere in Europe

    A **** up with the vaccine by the HSE

    Events with big crowds will not happen in Ireland but will return elsewhere

    Ireland will land a man on Rockall.
    Copper Face Jacks will become a vaccination centre for Nurses.
    The computer that hosts the RTE Player will be towed out to sea and sunk for crimes against enjoyment.

    You can carve it in stone. Too many middle managers and administrators for a seamless process.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭jmlad2020


    Many many little 17 year old virgins will finally get to lose their virginities when Covid and the lockdowns come to an end

    The lucky ones will need the therapy.

    The electric car will be a technological dead end.

    My own prediction is that things will pretty much carry on as they have this year; lockdown, bit of freedom, lockdown, etc etc

    The arrival of the vaccine will absolutely be cocked up in some shape or form and there'll be some scandal about a buddy of a minister getting rich out of the whole thing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 148 ✭✭Choosehowevr.


    Major Global Hacking Incident

    Donald Trump gets kidnapped, nobody wants to pay the ransom

    Kim Jung Un invades somewhere


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    Something to do with Russia.

    A mutation of covid19 will be immune to the vaccine. Children are thought now to be susceptible to becoming infected, so schools will close.

    The birth rate will dramatically drop.

    The dollar will crash.

    President Harris pardons Hilary.
    iPhone 13
    Pols get a wage increase
    Scramblers will still be flying around council estates at Xmas.

    Hopefully once vaccinations start we see the rescinding and abolition of the fines that were brought in.
    But no doubt they'll just be left there.

    Also mayo won't win Sam, too mentally weak.
    Hopefully some Snow
