1. I predict that the damm Euro will finely collapse and the German mark will replace it.

2. The South Island of NZ will become a republic, and the North will ask Australia to confirm they are indeed the sixth state!

3. The Scots will declare independence and claim everything north of Watford as payment for their missing oil!

4. India and Pakistan will dispute Scotlands claim and ask the UN to award them Yorkshire as part of their ancestral homeland.

5.The UN will agree thereby causing war to break out in Bradford.

6.An under sea eruption will take place in the Irish sea causing that Celtic Isle to move to Boston harbour where the family reunification celebrations will last for 50 years.

7. An American Indian will be the next President of the US.

8. Tony Blair will become a trainee pope.

Of course I could be wrong about the Euro. its a little hard to say at this stage!

Huanga.

But perhaps Western Samoa will delete it from their calendar to get the jump on everyone else. :shock:

Huanga...you are spot on as usual, with perhaps a clarification needed, Will it be the Reichmark that replaces the Euro and will the European Union be renamed Greater Germany?

*sigh* Brings back memories of this old thread "Next Year in History"

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2363&p=62383

Here are (were?) Iomoons predictions for 2012, made in 2007.

Quote:
2012

I retire!!

USA beats Brazil in the world cup soccer final with Beckham as coach.

The Antarctic ice cap completely melts.

London and New York disappear beneath the Atlantic waves.

Vesuvius erupts, killing 3 million Neopolitans that had fled uphill after sea level rose.

Woman places first foot on Martian surface stating "that's one small step for women, one giant leap for womenkind".


...and an interesting one from Gary Brown (GJ50) for 2013, and also made in 2007:

Quote:
Labor now in second term. Rudd rolled, Gillard as PM.


Good prediction Gary, pity about the year.

Norm

Norm,

I just checked the recent posts list, and there isn't a single counting thread.

Has one of your New year wishes come true, so quickly?

Clive, one of our very clever technos has expunged posts from "Bored with life or work? THIS is the *FUN* place to be!" from the "View Active Topics" function because of on-going Member requests. We finally found somebody who could do it.

Huanga, one minor correction. There are already six Australian States, so the North Island would have to become the seventh State of the Commonwealth of Australia.

However, we would want ironclad assurances that the State of North Island could pay it's way! We mainland taxpayers don't need another Tasmania to support, thanks very much! That includes paying for their own translators and their own English as a Second Language courses.

As for Geelong, if they make this years Grand Final then it will simply be as training cones for a rampaging Hawthorn, who will go through the season of 2012 undefeated. :D

Not only undefeated, but an average winning margin of 10 goals (60 points). :lol:

Hey, no less likely (in fact, much more likely) than some predictions on this thread. :D

Peter. I have some good friends who are Queenslanders, and they insist that Q'sland is a country with five colonies to support............Oh, and a croc infested swamp to the west of them.

If I bring up the subject of geography they get a little upset, but grudgingly concede that their five colonies could be mistaken by many in Canberra, for states? They reckon if New Zealand joined them the IQ of the continent would double.

Huanga.

Exactly. And no promises of payment in Kiwi Dollars .... REAL monies accepted only. :)
