    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.
    Will make for great new coverage.

    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.

    The Olympic men's 100 metres final will be all black. Racists! There should be a quota to let in a few whites.

    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.
