Aibu to wonder what will May bring?
So far we had
January - Australia on fire and little bit of "Is that WW3 starting?"
February/March - coronavirus
April - coronavirus with added bonus of Chernobyl exclusion zone on fire
May - TBA

Let's take guesses. I predict Kraken awakening in May.

I think Yellowstone explosion will wait till December to end a year with a bang.

Well North Korea and the fact they won't deescalate their (nuclear) arms was on the late night international news last night so possibly that Confused

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 18:02

@Ginkypig that is a good contender to Kraken🤔 I guess NK won't be calmed down by a virgin sacrifice.

I think May will be like War of the Worlds where my Mum's predictions will come true - she feels that this is entirely the doing of some kind of alien life-force sent to earth to grind us down until we accept their superior power.

So that's something to look forward to.

You forgot the plague of locusts in East Africa...

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 18:09

@FudgeBrownie2019 interesting! I wonder if it would be War of the Worlds or more Stargate-ish (because Stargate is real. We all know that!)

@Chillyourbeans dang. Now I would welcome the edit option! It's turning bit biblical with the locust.🤔 Maybe we will have a dude walking around soon who can change water into wine! #silverlining

Or gin?! I'm sure I spotted some horsemen at the end of our road earlier...

DysonFury · 14/04/2020 18:17

Thankyou OP I needed the Lols. Flowers

TheClown · 14/04/2020 18:17

Can we remember the U.K flooding that happened in Feb/March.

MouthBreathingRage · 14/04/2020 18:18

Zombies. It's time. I'm prepared (been watching a lot of The Walking Dead after the kids have gone to bed).

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 18:26

@Chillyourbeans Maybe he can do various orders🤔 That would be a good question when Churches reopen "Father? Can Jesus make just wine?"

@DysonFury Grin Glad to have helped

@TheClown Yes. The flooding. Sad for the people. And there was flooding in Australia too, wasn't there?

@MouthBreathingRage we have new virus🤔 Halfway there then! Watching walking dead is all good and that but what if the zombies are more like World War Z? So fast!

I said to DH a few weeks ago when I saw the plague of locusts in Africa that it's like we're living in Biblical times, we've had floods, fire and plague of locusts, now pestilence. It feels weird to be living through history like this, books will be written, films made, children taught in schools in the future about it all.

TimeAintNothing · 14/04/2020 19:17

If the zombies are the shambling Walking Dead type then I reckon I'd be okay, if they're the running World War Z sort then I'm fucked and they can enjoy chowing down on me and my dodgy knee.

MouthBreathingRage · 14/04/2020 19:18

@OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow, I never watched World War Z (I found the book so boring!). If it's the same as 28 Days Later though, that would be bad.....

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 19:23

@mrswhiplington and lice. They are a permanent feature here though🤔
Going fully biblical with 7 plagues of Egypt.
We still have quote a few to go. But what's the point? Weren't they intended to make Egypt to release Jewish folk? What would be the point now🤔 Who is the while planet holding and preventing from leaving? Oh my god. We are back to aliens!

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 19:26

@TimeAintNothing we would all be fucked. I would much prefere Walking dead type. Unless! They didn't eat ill, did they! The fast ones

@MouthBreathingRage 😱 I watched it for BradBlush

DH thinks the San Andreas fault will finally have it’s long awaited massive quake of a life time 🤔 it’s overdue and the way this year is going...

MouthBreathingRage · 14/04/2020 19:28

Norman Reedus > Brad Pitt tho Grin

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 19:29

@schafernaker ooooh. They said that would produce ultimate earthquake. Do you think that could set off Yellowstone? If yes, we could put it probably into November on the Apocalypse planner🤔

TimeAintNothing · 14/04/2020 19:29

It's just occured to me that I don't need to outrun the WWZ-style zombies, I only need to outrun DH. This plan is a goer.

1, he's asthmatic so can't run very fast without getting all gaspy
2, he trusts me not to trip him up so I can make my escape

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 19:29

@MouthBreathingRage can't argue there

OP posts:
OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 19:30

@TimeAintNothing Make sure he doesn't know👀 He could start secretly training to trip you

Don't forget the swarms of locusts in Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan
