No need to worry. I very much doubt that any of us will still be alive by then!

With the advances in medical science a lot more of us could be living until 100!

Rumours Euro '40 is going to be put back a year if war breaks out. Its just a small skirmish - massive overreaction. Just keep the ones who are vulnerable to bullets indoors.

True enough. Hitler isn't as mad as he's painted. Besides he's a Catholic and no harm him giving the English a bloody nose after the Auxies and the Black and Tans.

1939 is way too early for computers to have been even on the sci-fi agenda. They only became a thing in the 1950s and really only started appearing in industry in the 60s. First computer installed in Ireland was at the Irish Sugar Company in 1957 to calculate payments to beet farmers.
