WW3? Second coming of Christ? Nigel Farage for PM?

We’ll all be transported back to the 80’s with only four channels and flammable shell suits.

Oh wait, Ive just seen an advert for Blankety Blank so I think it’s already happened Grin

God turns up to prove his existence and with his hands on his hips he says "what the fuck have you lot done?"

Worst winter for 1000 years , I reckon.
It’ll be the new ice age from the 30th December

Alien invasion 😱

And then they woke up and it was all a dream (fingers crossed people)

New reports of a few deaths from an unknown virus in wuhan.....

Otherwise, Donald Trumps got about a week left to start a war somewhere so lets see if he manages it. I would nt put it past him to do something completely batshit like nuke France (although surely in that case the guy that carries the football would just be like no or the Secret service would step in)

God is indifferent. This might be his favourite world but we aren't his only toys. I reckon after this one he'll dump us in the toy box. Eternal darkness.

Snow would be cool but they'd already be aware of that so no snow.

Maybe it'll just die slowly. No big celebrations anywhere, it'll just whimper out like a dying wounded animal

Technology rising up and turning against us.

Starting with my boiler which has just broken down.
Kumquatsquash · 22/12/2020 10:29

@xmasfairybuns It's probably in cahoots with my cordless hoover that's decided to stop working AND my robovac that still moves but refuses to suck anything up. It's like they've gone on strike together. So now I'm forced to battle with dramatic Henry and his constant somersaults and hugging the door frames.

@Kumquatsquash bastard technology eh? Who needs it.
Our dishwasher heating element packed up too, there's certainly something going on.

yetanothernamitynamechange · 22/12/2020 18:02

We are entering a period of increased sun spot activity. So maybe a massive solar flare/electromagnetic storm wiping out satellite communications and damaging power grids worldwide.

TeenyTinyDustinHoffman · 22/12/2020 18:13

Dominic Cummings' home planet making contact?
It's alright though, they've decided we aren't worth invading.

Unfortunately, it looks as if floods are happening Sad

how are those icelandic volcanoes doing? I think some of them are overdue.

or italy's volcanoes? more risk to larger population

earthquake. a large one. maybe cascadia.

or perhaps part of hawaii will fall off into the sea and make a big tsunami.

There are several of our volcanoes on high alert, they are waiting for air travel to increase.
BarbaraofSeville · 24/12/2020 06:20

That was DPs offering a few days ago. Yellowstone going up, or Gran Canaria.

The worst case scenario with that one is that there's a massive eruption, earthquake and a great chunk breaks off and the resulting tsunami across the Atlantic washes away the east coast USA.

Well we have just had the big star

Looks like the three kings of macron merkel and bojo might be about to deliver us gifts of an agreement

The most worrying thing this year is Scotland qualified for a major football final. It’s a little known fact that the fifth horseman of the apocalypse is a triumphant scot astride a blue unicorn.

So I’m predicting the second coming followed by the five horsemen of the apocalypse and the end of the world while the aliens arrive to ferry some survivors away to safety.

Alternatively it may be like hitchhikers guide and we are about to be demolished for an intergalactic bypass.

Don’t forget the killer hornets are coming too.

Strange weather around Llyn Llydaw heralds the arrival of King Arthur, ripped from slumber to rescue his people in their hour of greatest need.

He rushes toward Buckingham Palace in a race against time to assert his claim to the Throne and retroactively withdraw Royal Consent from the Leaving The European Union Bill before the transition agreement expires on 31 Dec at 23.00.

He’s preempted by Boris Johnson (played by Matt Hancock in a tea cosy) announcing that London is now Tier Eleventy-One and Wales is now Tier Bazillon - the border is closed!

Not to be outdone, Nicola Sturgeon calls an impromptu press conference (scheduled for five minutes before the UK Government announcement) and informs a stunned populace that she TOLD everyone Brexit was a bad idea and it all rather makes her want to cry.

On 1 Jan, the Daily Mail runs with the banner headline “ARFUR: OIM NOT BOVVERED”, with an exclusive interview in which the former monarch reveals that he also has a French passport, but wishes everyone else the best of luck.

AgentCooper · 24/12/2020 08:13

Prince Philip’s going nowhere. He’ll outlive us all and take the throne as emperor of the world once the 15th new strain of Covid and locusts have gotten rid of lots of us.

He’ll be laughing wickedly as he wears his big fuck off crown, saying ‘finally, everything’s coming up Mountbatten.’

Wtf - a plague of tree aphids? I am never buying a real tree.
