You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Right, it's on. After the remarkable and largely unforseen events of 2016, What do we predict for the upcoming twelve months then?
I'm going to call for:
i) Milo Yiannopoulos for Whitehouse press secretary
ii) State funeral and Coronation (though I'm not going to call whether the Crown ends up going to Charles or Wills)
iii) Le-Pen win in French elections
New wheel size to make trails come alive.
Some famouses will die.
1) Trump will continue to be a t**t
2) May will continue to be t**t and make Cameron look like a tie-dyed hippy
3) The world will continue to spin
4) We will continue to screw up said world (also see 1 and 2).
5) I predict I will be determined to try harder to attempt to begin the process of starting to be happy, despite 1, 2 and 4 above.
2017 is the year electric cars go mainstream.
Sex robots replace real life lovers.
Power kite for my birthday
Kites are so last year.
Happy New year folks...

A catastrophic environmental discovery is made that is so conclusive and devastating that it cannot be ignored. This leads to the mass realisation that we have gone and truly messed up and we should have listened to the experts and acted decades ago. Too late now, the clock starts ticking down to a mass population loss never before seen, world plunges into chaos and full blown world war erupts. The mass migration of people and the associated human disaster that follows including famine and pandemic disease changes life forever for those that manage to survive. Oh and some minor celebs will die either due to lifestyle or natural causes and before the end of January idiots will be proclaiming 2017 as more cursed than 2016.
Happy New Year, I can hardly wait.
