People who spent all of 2020 bickering about what sectors should close or remain open, whether we should social distance/ travel 5km from home etc will instead bicker over who gets the vaccine first and twitch the curtains looking to see if those already vaccinated are starting to behave recklessly.

Dogs all over the country will need therapy as they try to adjust to owners returning to the office.

Actually, employees will probably need therapy too.

Fuzzyduzzy

Confirmed existence of other life forms visiting us, whether alien or inter-dimensional. And the return of old Monster Munch.

I'd happily take all of this if it means we don't need to put up with wokeism anymore

You'll still have to put up with it. Just wont be quite as bad. I am planning my escape to Greenland where they are too busy shivering to waste energy on such frivolous carry on. You have to take matters into your own hands. Can't idly stand by while the future happens to you

1) Probably not. I think it will stabalise and we'll get back to "normalish" but face masks and handwashing are here for good.
2) Maybe with a roar and a fart and a stutter
3) Oh God no way - I'd sooner Steve Coogan did it in character.

After a series of unfortunate events, Princess Beatrice becomes Queen of the United Kingdom, dissolves Parliament to regain sovereignty, pardons her Father, gives asylum to the Trumps, invades Cavan as a precursor to a triumphant nationalist fervour mongering glory filled war which goes astray. Merkel, Macron and von der Leyen agree to nuke London, the non-radioactive rump state of the former United Kingdom applies to rejoin the European Union under the nation's savior Nicola Sturgeon.

Merry Christmas!

Hercule Poirot

My own prediction is that things will pretty much carry on as they have this year; lockdown, bit of freedom, lockdown, etc etc

The arrival of the vaccine will absolutely be cocked up in some shape or form and there'll be some scandal about a buddy of a minister getting rich out of the whole thing

Major Global Hacking Incident

Donald Trump gets kidnapped, nobody wants to pay the ransom

Kim Jung Un invades somewhere

Your Face

Something to do with Russia.

A mutation of covid19 will be immune to the vaccine. Children are thought now to be susceptible to becoming infected, so schools will close.

The birth rate will dramatically drop.

The dollar will crash.

helimachoptor

Hopefully once vaccinations start we see the rescinding and abolition of the fines that were brought in.
But no doubt they'll just be left there.

Also mayo won't win Sam, too mentally weak.
Hopefully some Snow

Poor_old_gill

Inflation towards years end
Large increase in wealth inequality
More housing/homeless issues
Economy in a decent chunk of trouble

.anon.

The dullest and most repetitive people on Boards will spend another year shoehorning the word 'woke' into everything they post.

Ray Donovan

Kamala Harris to be President by end of year.

Dublin to win 7 in a row.

We will be asked to staycation again. Probably to save Christmas.

Pubs wont open again in 2021.

The Living with Covid levels wont be abolished.

I will spend July in Lanzarote.

Pardon Hilary for what. She has not been gotten for anything yet.

martingriff

We will be back to normal by May.
The government still to get away with stuff as NPHET will be blamed for the decisions

Ekerot

Joe Biden dies, Kamala Harris soon takes over. Much of the same of how Obama reigned i.e. no radical changes.

Tony Holohan to get thrown under the bus by the government when the inevitable cockup regarding the vaccine or Covid happens; his past actions regarding the cervical cancer scandal will also come to light when he's needed to be turned into a scapegoat.

Dublin to win another All Ireland, but they'll be up against a team who would be unusual to reach the finals.

Iran and US relations get worse, while China takes over Hong Kong and puts their foot down on the protestors.

Brexit turns out to be a ghastly mistake, while calls for a "closer" European Union between the 27 member states becomes more prevalent in the European parliament.

Majority take the vaccine, if begrudgingly, but a significant minority don't and causes even more headaches down the line for everyone before we can get back to normality!

Anti fat pill. Daily pill will give you optimum bmi.

It's desperately needed. Every other person is huge and a cure is more needed than a covid vaccine.

Marijuana made legal in Ireland.

Marijuana is legalised and connoisseur weed shops pop up.
Huge bidding wars between fast food outlets to locate beside these shops.
There won't be a general election this year.
Car tax to go up and a environmental tax added to fuel.
A lockdown baby boom.
Liverpool win the EPL and champions league.
Arsenal are relegated.
Dublin win the All-Ireland again but nobody gives a shït.
Economic depression worldwide due to the effects of covid19.
Annual covid vacations against whatever new strain is identified.
Masks and sanitising stations will be the norm in public places.
FG/FF will merge.
Alien life (microbes) are identified.

People havn't much hope on poor auld Joe Biden staying alive. How come? He isn't exactly on his death bed

Do they just want Kamala to become president? I hope Joe serves his term anyway after going through the trouble of getting elected

Ireland will continue to lose its soul and culture. RIP

The government will still be incompetent.

We need a completely new politics.

To be "woke" isn't an insult, it literally means to be alert to injustice in society, especially racism.

What is wrong with that? I think it's bad form to see people using that word as if it's a put down. Like when people would say, "that's so gay" or "you're gay" or "you throw like a girl" etc as some kind of put down. It says more about the person using those words in a derogatory sense doesn't it...

And transgender folk are regular human beings dealing with an enormously hard hand they were dealt with. I have two close friends who are/or have someone transgender in their life. One is a good friend of mine, and the other has a teenage child who has known since they were very small they were this way. Knowing them both closely growing up certainly changed me. It's not a fad. They're not weird or crazy it's who they are.

There will be a lot of empty space. Nobody vying like mad to get a house to live in, no neighbours to give out about. Only pity is Bill Gates will be still around because he's the main orchestrator of the extermination-by-vaccine scheme
