MSE predictions for 2010
Cleaver
Posts: 6,989 Forumite
Carol's thread on ten predictions in the economic world got me thinking of the things I reckon we might see on this board in 2010.
1. Graham Devon asks the question: "I just want to know, where is the money giong to come from?"
2. We have a debate on what the average wage is. It lasts for 21 pages and none of us are any the wiser.
3. There are three weekends where Asheron comes on and posts many links to videos about the end of the world, the rise of a global new world order and how Obama is actually a lizard. We mock him. Again.
4. Nearlynew uses the phrase "debt isn't wealth" at least 100 times.
5. Hamish posts just a couple of threads which paint a rather rosy picture of the housing market and the economy in general. Lots of people disagree.
6. Julie uses the phrase 'ad hominem'.
7. Google sees increased traffic of people looking up the phrase 'ad hominem'.
8. 28 pages of discussion each and every month on very little house price moves.
9. Mr Broderick using at least 15 usernames throughout the year.
10. A warning from Martin. Maybe two.
11. 6 threads on The Wilsons. 5 of which mainly revolve around their dress sense.
12. Mewbie posts a bit more under his new name (we hope).
13. People start moving their time to buy as early 2011 after certain falls over 2010. This may start to be postponed to 2012 towards the end of 2010. "I'll buy in 6 months, we're bound to see 30% off by then..."
14. The Tory government comes in to cheers and talk of 'an age of austerity'. Nothing much actually changes.
15. Pasture's has to spend 15p on dinner, rather than 13p, due to raging inflation.
16. Felixstowe docks gets a mention.
17. Two people get it on in real life. I'm seeing Dopester and Lostinrates or possibly Wageslave and Mr Broderick. I'd be fascinated to see Dopester and Mr Broderick getting romantic.
18. FC goes global. I can just see it.
19. We slag off property programmes. A lot.
20. Someone says we're like Zimbabwe. Other's say we're not. Someone else says we're like Japan. Someone else agrees. Other's don't. We argue about it for 67 pages.
21. Someone posts that graph.
I was going to post a list of things that won't happen which would include The White Horse getting a job for the council as a Health and Saftey Officer, Chucky selling his houses and getting in to gold and Hamish posting an emotional post about his doubts about the housing market and his own fears about his personal financial situation, but I can't be bothered.
