Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Fraggle > wot do you think? > wot are yer all predictions for this year of 2006? What a fine question... > for yerselves? Well, don't really know - planning to start a PhD in September, but other than that anything could happen! > fer the world? I reckon it's about time America and Britain ganged up on Iran - they've been threatening it for a while, and they've got to get going on it soon, otherwise they'll be behind schedule and won't get round to Syria until 2008, which would definitely not be in line with their plans! Britain will probably finally turn the corner into being an official police state... Big Ben might get burned down, and the LibDems get the blame, causing Blair to finally announce that democracy was a bad idea all along, and he's now not going to have any more elections... OK, maybe it's a little early for this... but it's always a possibility! BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Peter/Fraggle That is really scary, but look quite likely. I reckon we'll end up in a dictatorship. On a personal level - I reckon I'll be doing much the same as last year - exercising a bit more to try to keep pace with entropy (unless I've got the wrong meaning of the word).

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Predictions? oh my god! I have a bad memory. when I was eight years old, my mom bought a copy of the national enquirer to read on the bus. she was mostly interested in princess Diana. when she was done with it, I took it and read it and it predicted that the world would end that year. I was so afraid. I took this paper put it under my bed, looked at it frequently and became a nervous wreck. I really believed what I read and could not ascertain that this was fiction. I told no one of my fear and made plans with my toys and dolls as though I was going to die. I even wrote letters(which I never sent). finally the predicted day of February 24 came and nothing happened. I was very realived. , fraggle <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote: > > so..as i sit bored scrolling craigslist for a new job (its inventory time at our warehouse in indiana, so we have nuthin to do here all week)(and methinks it be just time i got off my duff and began lookin for a more..fulfilling..job)..i got to mind wanderings > its a new year... > well..sorta...by some calendars anyways... > and..every year the tabloids, sports commentators, psychics, etc roll out there predictions for the new year.. > sooo > wot do you think? > > wot are yer all predictions for this year of 2006? > for yerselves? > fer the world? 1000 miles of endless screams, where all the dead heroes lay > I've got the choice to set my knife, I've got the courage to set my life > I've got the day I'll pick to die.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 it is easier said than done. I feel like I don't spend enough time with my kids now. then there's the financing part. however, I plan to live a long long time and plan to keep on learning forever, my brain is insatiable and there are always interesting things to learn and do. , " heartwerk " <jo.heartwork@g...> wrote: > > I hope your PhD goes well when you get there.
