Well its that time of year again when u put your feet up and dream about all the misery that lies ahead. Take your pick on the likely disasters coming our way
My prediction - Mad shit all over the shop, like 2011 times a thousand On the upside, reeling in the years is going to be pretty exicting in 10 years time.
Cue the Lady Gaga singles …
Visiting heads of state. Egg throwing scenes at bank AGMs. Euro crisis. Queues at ATMs. The countryside empties out. New South Wales beats Ontario in the All-Ireland semi-finals but loses out to London at the renamed “Croak” Park.
While searching for how to feckin’ well control ma storage heaters it hit upon the idea that the 3rd Secret of Fatima might be easier to unlock and so it is…catholicplanet.com/articles/article116.htm
Google it, read some of the interpretations. It might surpsie you … Ratzinger has an early connection with this .
2012… as an Aquarian I can sense a change in the AIR
The big known unknown is obviously around the Euro.
So its not much of a prediction to say it collapses, or doesnt collapse…at this stage its down to probabilities. And I would say the probabability is 15% that we do not have a euro in 12 months time.
EDIT
My other prediction is that Arsenal and Man Utd both finish outside the top 4 in the English Premiership this year and fail to make the CL.
Futher civil unrest in Europe and America (“In Europe and America there’s a growing feeling of hysteria” - Sting, circa 1985 )
Assassination of a significant political or banking figure by far left elements is used as pretext for crackdown on protest movement and curtailment of remaining democratic rights
Unemployment will reach 14% 3rd quarter 09. Largest ever increase ever in Jan 09.
Growth will be negative 7% for the year
Deflation in Ireland will be 4-5%
Irish Government will not be able to access credit markets late summer 09, and will default on its debt
IMF, EU and ECB will demand and get wholesale reform of public sector, cuts in its pay, social welfare, and the minimum wage
Lisbon 2 will pass
Trichet will again assert that there is no problem in the general government EU area (refer to Nazi definition of same) Mass emigration will recommence, and break all records set since 1900
There will be no riots, or civil unrest.
Cowen’s plan will be seen as Lenihans bank recap plan, i.e. a fly on the arse of an elephant.
Property and other asset values will drop another 30% in nominal terms.
2 of the 6 banks will no longer exist.
House completions will be under 20k
Points on the CAO will rocket for Science & Engineering, collaspe for Business.
The government will stay in power.
My predictions 2010 made in 2009
House prices continue to slide. 70% drop from 06 Peak in 3rd quarter 2010. Thereafter bombed out market stabilises, for 5 plus years.
Deflation continues 4%
Absolute massacre in 1st qtr as those businesses that have held on for Christmas give up the ghost. Car Trade, Hospitality (Bars, Restaurants, & Hotels), Construction and Retail have hundreds of collapses.
Unemployment rockets towards 500k, and as workforce falls, unemployment rate heads to 20%
70k emigration, half of whom are Irish Born
Government deficit rockets to 25bn, as tax, particularly income tax, falls rapidly.
Further ineffective actions by government are taken to contain deficit.
8 Irish Bond issues fail in September.
AIB and BOI are nationalised. We finally get our Third banking force as Permo TSB buy what’s left of EBS and Nationwide, in return for a few billion off the government.
FF stays in power.
Nama projected losses rise to 35bn, as the LTEV concept is acknowledged as bogus.
Economic Carnage ends in 4th qtr 2010, as there is little left to lose.
Worldwide stocks markets drop 30% as economic weakness is realised. Serious property crashes in main property markets in Asia. (Hong Kong, Main cities in China, Singapore)
Tories win election in UK, but tiny majority. UK inflation rockets as the effect of printing press feeds through
USA is downgraded by rating agencies, provoking second economic crises.
I can’t find any I made in 2010 for 2011 but I know I forecasted a sovereign debt crises, in autumn 2011. Even if I say so myself, pretty dam good, if the time line is a bit out.
So listen up… my 2012 predictions are coming…….be very afraid.
