    Pighead is at a crossroads in his life and has sat here for the last 11 minutes wondering what will have changed in his life in 1 years time.Older?Definitely.Wiser?Probably not.More Handsome?Almost certainly.I shall come back in a years time and see how close my predictions were.

    Work: I will still be in the same job,with rumblings of the place closing soon,I will be hanging on to my role of Lazy Technician for another year.However the redundancy won't come and I shall be more or less in the exact same position as I am now.

    Yep! Bang on Pighead! Still sitting in the same chair(wearing the same shirt too coincidently.)And what was the topic of conversation at brekkie this morning? Rumours of a redundancy roll out in January.Groundhog Day.

    Home: I am quite sure i shall still be renting with my 3 buddys on the lovely Northside of Dublin.

    WRONG!.Have moved out of my previous abode due to 2 of my flatmates announcing they were having a baby together. Didn't see that one coming! Baba due at Christmas. Hurrah for the Christmas Baba.

    Internet:I shall still be posting on boards and will have served out 3-4 bans from After Hours and 1 from the Mustard Forum.My postcount will have reached the magical 1767 mark.

    Wrong! Only served 1 ban from After Hours and 0 from the Mustard Forum. Pighead has matured. Also was roughly 600 out in my Post Amount Guess. Seems Pigheads a bit rubbish at this predicting lark.

    Relationship:Will still be going out with Miss Piggy unless she finds out about my secret liasons with Le Rack,Beruthial Lady J and Kiera

    Right! Miss Piggy is still my fair lady. She never did find out about my flirting with Le Rack Lady J and Kiera. And more importantly she didn't find out I'm fcuking Beruthial.

    Weight: I will have finally lost my battle against my belly.At the moment its about to pop and become an official Beer Belly.I'm fighting a losing battle i fear

    Almost Right! Belly hasn't quite popped yet. Although its almost time to raise the white flag.Have started to suck my belly in in photos.

    General: I shall break a bone in my body,possibly a leg bone.

    WRONG! No bones broken this year. No illnesses at all really. Although I think my eyesight is about 7% worse than it was this time last year.

    So what will be your state of play this time next year?Nosy Pighead wants answers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,683 ✭✭✭daveg


    Work: I will be coming to the close of my year contract on my new job which I start in 4 weeks time. I hope to have had a good year and I hope they will be asking me to resign for another year. However read home section for more info on this.

    Home: I'm hoping that this time next year we will be in the process of selling the contents of our home as we prepare to make our new home in Melbourne Australia. This is dependent on us achieving a sucessful visa result.

    Internet: Same as ever hopefully.

    Relationship: I'll still be married with my beautiful wife.

    Weight: I'll be preparing for a healthier lifestyle in Oz consisting of outdoor activities, a better diet and oodles of sunshine. Come back to me in another 12 months time.

    General: Hopefully we will be all systems go for the trip to Oz. I'll be halfway through the final year of my degree which will hopefully be going well. the following 12 months will be a lot more interesting...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Work: I'll be in the same great job as now, unless they fire my butt when/if they discover I'm spending too much time on boards
    I'm still working there

    Home: Same house as I am now.
    Nope, moved to a newer, better place

    Internet: Reckon to have hit 5.000 posts. Internet will be less free and everything I write on boards is logged by the NSA and UK spy towers. I will be lining my baseball cap with tin foil.
    Managed about half of that. No special lining.

    Relationship: Happily together with the love of my life.
    Crying myself to sleep every night

    Weight: Need to loose a couple stone, or rather turn them into two stone of hard, sculpted muscle
    Think I lost weight, at least work out a few times a week.

    General: Want to pick up French again. Not likely to happen, tho
    Picked up a French girl tho


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    Work: I will hopefully be in my final year of college, though I am considering jacking it all in and doing another course.

    Right! I am now in 4th Year.

    Home: Me and Phoebe the cat will hopefully have moved out, sick of living with my parents! Unfortunately there's birds and a bunny to be considered as well.

    Wrong! I moved out for the summer, the novelty wore off so I'm back home again now, got fed up wondering if I need milk, have clean clothes etc.

    Internet: I will still be hooked. My love for the Internet is unconditional.

    Right

    Relationship: I will hopefully be in a nice long-term relationship with someone nice who loves me and treats me well (read: unlike anyone else I've ever been with). Up and until then I intend to continue to be a dirty slut kissing boys who I hope will never call.

    Wrong! Have stayed single the whole year, never met anyone I was that bothered with.

    Weight: Hopefully my marvellous metabolism will not have slowed down so I can continue to eat everything in sight and still be skinny!

    Yep!!!

    General: I hope to be a good deal happier and more secure than I am now.

    Yep!!!

    I also hope to visit New York and London.

    New York and London no, but Las Vegas yes!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Work: Hopefull will be graduating from college with my worthless degree. Will have to take a year out working full time, in order to muster up some money for my Masters.

    Right and wrong. Wont be graduating from college due to lack of motivation but I am working full time

    Home: Move in with the significant other, so I can leech food/money etc

    Wrong. Said other half has issues with me being a leech

    Internet: Probably will still be raping my credit card

    Still true, sadly

    Relationship: Hopefully the bf's sanity will keep us together 'til then

    Sanity is waning, I reckon

    Weight: WTF? I don't have a clue what I weigh now, and I really don't care

    Still stands

    General: Vow never to go to Dublin for a year unless absolutley vital. Still passing my evenings watching all manners of Law and Order, CSI and The West Wing. Still travelling overseas to follow my favourite bands around Europe.[/QUOTE]

    My evenings are now without The West Wing, but I still have my box sets.
    Vow on no travelling to Dublin, broken already due to the need to attend GAA maches and I've only travelled to one concert this year :(

    Ok, Gonna try for 4 october 07

    Work: I will be finishehed my 5 month work placement in either galway or dublin and back in NUIG for my degree year, hopefully.

    Home: If I work in galway I will still live in bridgewater court, if not, I will be living in teh city somewhere.

    Internet: I'll be spamming boards and pm'ing hot young females whilst confusing people about my sex.

    Relationship: Hopefully going out with [strike]Avril Lavigne[/strike] my wonderful girl still.

    Weight: I'll still be in the 11 - 11.5 stone weight bracket I would imagine.

    General: On my way to a degree, happy, spamming, downing much coke, and with my beautiful lady. Also hopefully richer than I am now. I hope to have left the country at least once in the next year and go to many concerts. Possibly meet some new boardsers and I hope to see the ones I like a few more times.

    Still in the same company, different area though. Received an award during the year for "Outstanding contribution to looking great at work every day" Should be my last award from the company. Interviews all next week for new jobbies. This birds gotta fly

    Home: I am quite sure i shall still be renting with my 3 buddys on the lovely Northside of Dublin.

    WRONG!.Have moved out of my previous abode due to 2 of my flatmates announcing they were having a baby together. Didn't see that one coming! Baba due at Christmas. Hurrah for the Christmas Baba.

    Still living in Phibsboro. Won't have a bad word said about the place. It really is one of Earths untrumpeted gems.

    Internet:I shall still be posting on boards and will have served out 3-4 bans from After Hours and 1 from the Mustard Forum.My postcount will have reached the magical 1767 mark.

    Wrong! Only served 1 ban from After Hours and 0 from the Mustard Forum. Pighead has matured. Also was roughly 600 out in my Post Amount Guess. Seems Pigheads a bit rubbish at this predicting lark.

    Still posting on boards and making internet enemys. Peter Collins almost pushed Pighead over the edge but thankfully managed to keep my cool and avoid an internet banning from the internet leaders

    Relationship:Will still be going out with Miss Piggy unless she finds out about my secret liasons with Le Rack,Beruthial Lady J and Kiera

    Right! Miss Piggy is still my fair lady. She never did find out about my flirting with Le Rack Lady J and Kiera. And more importantly she didn't find out I'm fcuking Beruthial.

    Miss Piggy is still the luckiest woman in the world. Beruthial hasn't been so lucky. Since shes turned 60 the spark has well and truly been extinguished and unfortunately for her her body can't keep up with Pigheads demands. It was great while it lasted babes. Happy retirement.xxx

    Weight: I will have finally lost my battle against my belly.At the moment its about to pop and become an official Beer Belly.I'm fighting a losing battle i fear

    Almost Right! Belly hasn't quite popped yet. Although its almost time to raise the white flag.Have started to suck my belly in in photos.

    Bellys gone inwards once again since Pighead gave up Mega Meanies. Still a skinny cnut but losing that Ethiopian hungry child with the big belly look.

    General: I shall break a bone in my body,possibly a leg bone.

    WRONG! No bones broken this year. No illnesses at all really. Although I think my eyesight is about 7% worse than it was this time last year.

    No bones broke again this year. Starting to think they're indestructable
    So there you have it. Status Quo has been achieved over the past year and Pighead is still rocking all over the boards. Pighead likes it he likes it he likes it he likes it he liiiiikes it. Expect changes next year. Pigheads about to fulfil his undoubted potential. Watch this bird soar.:cool:

    I think it's quite interesting to see how peoples plans worked out. The moral is the never do! I'dl ike to look at this in a years time and see if I've made a mess of things or not!!

    On September the 28th 2008:

    Work: I won't be in the same job as I'm leaving for a new one in a week. However, I won't be in the new one either as I'm moving to NZ in April. Fingers crossed I'll have a decent enough job there.

    Home: I'll still be living with my bf but as I said above, in NZ. Hopefully some nice gaff in Wellington.

    Internet: I'll know nobody in NZ and will be miles away from home so will be relying on boardsies to tell me what's going on in Ireland and what scumbags are like in case I forget.

    Relationship: Will still be with my other half, but in NZ, his homeland. He'll be in his element and will be able to get me back for 2 years of calling him a dirty foreigner and mocking his accent.

    Weight: Hopefully will be the same

    General: I'll be happy in a new country and will have travelled to various places, Malaysia, Fiji and Australia as well as done lots of random things in NZ. (White water rafting and the like!)

    p.s. Pighead has a job?!! :p

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭skywalker


    Wow, what a blast seeing this again :) This should definitely become an annual thing. Its right up there as one of pigheads best ideas.

    My predictions are 2 years old, must have missed last years.
    skywalker wrote:
    Interesting idea for a thread this one.

    Work: In the same job Id imagine. Im happy here & will be starting a night masters in the next few months so I cant see myself changing jobs. Should hopefully be on slightly more money though as my annual review will be coming up soon.

    Wow, Ive just finished the masters, and it feels great :D Ive since moved job, still working for the same boss though, bigger company better pay, happier all round. I wouldnt have thought Id enjoy myself more in a different job to my last one but I love it here.

    In another years time I imagine I will still be here, hopefully will have moved to a new job within the organisation though, the one Im doing currently isnt what I want to do longterm. Also the money isnt as good as the one Im hoping to move into.

    Home: Probably still living at home. Im catered for way too much at home & I get on well with my folks so I havent got any real reason to move out atm. Also the few quid I hand up helps them out. If I read this next year & the back garden still hasnt been cleaned up Ill go mental.

    Still living at home, still catered for way too much, Im saving up with a view to getting my own place next year though. Back garden is still a mess :eek:

    Next year hopefully be well on the way to having a deposit, and either moving out renting, or buying an apt. Hopfully either way Ill be moving in with one of my mates.

    Internet: Will possibly have got BB in at home, so may have access 24/7, otherwise I wont, either way Id imagine Ill still post on boards now & again.

    Got BB in, friend accidentally cut my BB wire last week though so Im currently limited to wireless, just on one machine :(

    Relationship: Been single for a year now, so wouldnt mind being in a relationship this time next year. Dont know how likely it is though.

    Still single. Have gotten used to it more now. Im not particularly fussed about it, would always be nice to meet someone nice though.

    Weight: Ive been going to the gym & exercising for 6 months now & am starting to really like how my body looks, Hopefully in another year Ill have a slightly larger phsyique, & have that perfect 6 pack.

    Much happier with my phsique in general now, the perfect 6 pack still illudes me but Im not too far off either.

    Next year I shall be even buffer!

    General: Ill have gone on at least one sun holiday & possibly have visited Japan next summer. & hopefully my ssia will have gotten a kick up the hole from me putting in the max for the entire year.

    Trip to Japan has yet to happen, Im off on hols in about 2 weeks though & Ive no destination picked out as yet. Im unlikely to go as far afield as Japan, but Im looking forward to being my future self so I can tell me how it went (if that makes sense).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭EdgarAllenPoo


    If I'm still in college this day next year, I'll be amazed and on this day next year my dad will turn 46.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 890 ✭✭✭patrickolee


    Didn't do this the first or second time... but might be interesting for next year. Note to self of one year: God you are a sexy young thing!


    Home: Will be the same, bliss! Hopefully the neighbours won't have died. But they'll still be coughing

    Relationship: Will be the same, bliss!

    Weight: Will be the same, bliss!

    Work: Will be different. This is my last day in current job, haven't got a new one yet. Who knows where I'll be, hopefully contract and exciting. Probably boring american multinational slowly soul destroying with redundancies looming.

    Internet: Wont be checking boards very often, only to check for this thread, possibly the odd bit of gambling

    General: Won't be smoking.


  • Posts: 17,735 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Anyone have the link for the one of these for 2007? I know there was another one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    What a load of tuggage.

    Home: I own my own gaff so i couldn't give a fcuk about landlords or parents.

    May need a bit of a makeover to bring to BFS(Blue Flag Standard)

    Toilets upgraded and suchlike.

    Relationship: Divorce could be a runner. Thats all I'll say.

    Weight: Will retain my current well built status with the aid of golf/squash/ walking.
    Work: I own my own business so hopefully that will continue to prosper and make a bit of dosh.

    Internet: getting a bit pissed off with boards... too many fcukers think that they know everything and that their opinion counts more than others.

    General... On the more serious issues,get the golf handicap down to below 2.5
    learn not to get worked up when students spout off and think they know everything. Ressurect that thesis for Doctorate and maybe even enjoy the graft involved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    hmm, this time next year... well, as it will be approaching 16:00 on a Sunday afternoon I can safely say I'll be having a pint!


  • Posts: 2,862 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I will be preparing for my godson's 3rd birthday

    This year I bought him Thomas the tank engine and bob the builder pj's and at the moment planning one hell of a session for my cousin tomorrow night to relieve her stress of having 20 kids to her house for a party tomorrow day .


    Work: I will still be here next year and happy about it although with a course under my belt

    Home: I will still be renting preferably in a nicer place and staying on the northside don't care what the boyfriend says.

    Internet: I’ll still be addicted to reading boards

    Relationship: Hopefully I'll still be with my man if we don't drive each other to exhaustion or up the walls:D

    Weight: About 10lbs lighter this year and hopefully stay that way if not a few more could vanish

    General: I’m generally happy with the way things are now
    But I hope to drink less and save more but don't we all


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭thelordofcheese


    Lets see how horrifically wrong i get these

    Work:
    At the moment i'm working 2 different Jobs (Interview today for a third one) while trying to do my masters, so hopefully this will all be behind me and i can be working for a games company that doesn't suck hole

    Home:
    Lord only knows, probably somewhere in the UK i'd imagine, though the states and europe are also possible. Wherever the Job takes me.


    Internet:
    Probably still on here. might have even broken the 1500Post barrier by then. Quality, not quantity.


    Yeah, i lie to myself alot



    Relationship:
    Been single for about 10Months after i made a giant ****up. This time next year, dunno. I'm kinda enjoying slutting about.

    Weight:
    trying to drop that last stubborn bit, but not trying very hard. I hope to be roughly the same if not a wee bit less belly-rific this time next year

    General:
    I'm peeved that i havn't traveled more, so the following places & events are pencilled in for next year

    Japan
    Tokyo Games Show
    America
    Burning Man
    Easten Europe (poland etc etc)
    Sweden


    Let the year of Fail commence!

    Work:
    Will be in sixth year and stressing it out completely, looking forward to a mediocre leaving.

    Home:
    Living with momsie and popsicle, or else just my mum.

    Internet:
    Still addicted, will probably only post 100 times during the busy year, will use up all the laptops memory on msn chatlogs.

    Relationship:
    Probably will have something during the year, but nothing lasting. It's pessimistic, yet realistic.

    Weight:
    Will probably (hopefully!) not exceed 11 stone, will be my normal size (which is a fairly thin size 10 to 12) but with a little bit more of a gut than I had before.

    General:
    Planning a lot of singing-related dealies, and just hanging out round in town with my mates as always.
