Sea Sharp · 23-12-2010 06:01PM #1

So, with 2010 coming to a close, (jaysus that flew in), what are the fine people of After Hours predictions for the next year.

Fianna Fail in shock election victory?

The shit hitting the fan between North and South Korea?

Economic recovery for the World and/or Ireland?

Riots in Dublin?

Discuss..

The property market will collapse more than anybody (except Morgan Kelly) had expected. After all, nobody should be paying more than three or four times their annual salary for their home, as was the situation up until the late 1990s. The property market has a long way to fall before that situation returns.

The world is ending in 2012 so if we get few IMF bailouts we can just live it up. Coke, hookers, fast cars, nice holidays and nice houses. Lets go mad!

easyeason3 · 23-12-2010 06:09PM

Can things get any worse? The only way is up from here.

Coriolanus · 23-12-2010 06:10PM

I think FF will have a sizeable minority in the Dail and FG will only sieze the Govt by wooing the Greens and/or SF.

SomeFool · 23-12-2010 06:13PM

More snow

Pherekydes · 23-12-2010 06:23PM

Lots of snow. But it'll be all a hazy memory by about June.

The Government puts off the election as long as possible. Many more eFFers retire. Race riots break out in urban areas as ordinary people finally revolt and try to beat sense into eFFing politicians and their supporters. (Yes, eFFers are a different race)

Brian Lenihan (now supreme and unopposed leader) issues the election results. Anyone who didn't vote for the eFFers gets no wages.

Ireland wins the Rugby WC, while Ireland (the island) shivers in the early onset of winter (October). 90% of the workforce is involved in deicing, gritting and shovelling snow, but don't get paid for it. It's a new government scheme called "work experience".

November: A boardsie uncovers evidence that Lenihan is owned by Roman Abramovitch, and [posthumously] saves the country when a general uprising involving lots of guillotines and gallows finally sees off the eFFers.

A snap election sees New Fianna Fáil [a new beginning, donchaknow] win by a landslide, while the sound of 3 million foreheads being slapped simultaneously causes the Earth to shift off its axis.

Finally, Derval O'Rourke wins a gold at the Athletics World Championships, but Don't Push It is voted RTE sports personality of the year after retaining its Grand National crown. Shortly afterwards, it is voted President ahead of Michael D, Bertie Ahern and George Hook.

red menace · 23-12-2010 06:28PM

The new Government will turn out to be an incredible mix of Pragmatists who will have the country back to full employment in June

Lawrence1895 · 23-12-2010 06:29PM

...and even more snow :eek:

plus rising temperatures during the summer, plus water shortages in Dublin again.

and now to the 'wishful thinking' section:
1. Liverpool FC champions in the Premier League
2. Celtic champions in Scotland
3. Borussia Dortmund champions in Germany
4. Sinn Fein in government, but without FF or FG
5. Np panic about 2012

At least two general elections.

Yeah, 2011/2012 will definitely be Liverpools' year...
Man Utd become the most boring team to go a full Premiership season unbeaten!

Things in Ireland can only get better, when they have hit absolute bottom, which we can expect next year.

I've tried to get odds on Don't Push It to be next president,(Pherekydes is on to something) Paddy Power won't quote me!

Scuid Mhór · 23-12-2010 07:16PM

scuid mhór will become ireland's youngest taoiseach on record after staging a military coup against the current government.

TanG411 · 23-12-2010 07:20PM

Predictions:

- It will be a different year.

- A disappointing summer will occur, again, thanks to another Rihanna song.

- A well known male celebrity will die from a drug overdose. Around February/March

- The winter will be just as bad as this year.

- Somebody will quote me on these predictions to prove whether they are true or false.

You must be young if can still think like that!

Things can get a lot worse, and then even worse again and we still won't have seen the worst.

One of the first things to happen will be that by the end of February '11 every second shop along the high streets of Ireland will be To Let/For Sale.

Thrill · 23-12-2010 07:25PM

Strikes, price rises, protest marches, more strikes. Thats just for January.

'C'mon lads this is just like the Lisbon treaty, we're goin to keep doing it until you get it right'

It too easy to picture Cowen saying that.

I predict that every FF politician who has been struck down with some ailment in recent times will make a full recovery.

Some drug dealer will force one of our beloved 'celebrities' to take cocaine resulting in their death...How many more Katy's can we lose?

Jihad will be started when an islamic standup comedian makes fun of the seer Joe Coleman and the dark forces that drive him are released.
Irelands historical buildings and places will be auctioned off, things like the dolmen in Clare, Bunratty Castle and Croagh Patrick in Mayo. Johnny Ronan will purchace Croagh Patrick and make billions when he starts to mine precious metals from it.
Someone will invent how to generate energy from cow ****e and make a fortune while filling the country with cows.
The NRA will buy 100,000 tons of salt in October and then we will have the warmest winter on record.
