For fun, not serious


With 2022 almost over, what are your wacky predictions for 2023?


Mine are :

1. Elon Musk will prove Aliens are already on earth by stripping off his false human skin and exposing his luminous blue alien skin;


2. One of the Spice Girls will come out as a he/him after masking his true gender for years;


3. Councillor Rose will admit LTNs don't work in a sudden change of heart.


Go crazy with weird and wacky suggestions as after the last few years (pandemic, weekly prime ministers, party gate) anything could happen!

1) Putin will see the error of his ways, apologise, and gracefully withdraw from the Ukraine

2) CEOs etc will wonder why they really need to earn more than £xk a year and decide to rebalance the pay structure so that the lowest earners wage is a decent proportion of the top earners in any company (as in John Lewis assuming they still do that).

3) An international law is passed that makes companies accountable for the safe disposal of their goods - from toys to cars and beyond.

4) Someone finally patents walking shoes with headlights so that you can avoid open manholes, dog shit etc while night strolling.


I could go on but have just realised you asked for predictions, not a wish list.

The Express will fall in love with H and M.


The Mail will have a campaign to welcome asylum seekers and crowd fund speedier assessment of applications


The Torygraph will acknowledge the odd down side about Brexit


The Guardian will have articles about people toughening up rather than the whole world being against them


Clarkson writing in the sun will talk about his love of vegetarians, liberals and hippies.


The FA will petition FIFA to have human rights as a deciding factor in awarding World Cups


Influencers in the Gulf will lose any mass appeal and people will return to traditional sources of information


My crazy conspiracy theory friends and neighbours will acknowledge that the world is a sphere, Americans did land on the moon and Covid was for real


And the world would be abetter place

    • Honestly, the squirrels are not a problem now.  They only eat what has dropped.  The feeders I have are squirrel proof anyway from pre-cage times.  I have never seen rats in the garden, and even when I didn't have the cage.  I most certainly would have noticed them.  I do have a little family of mice which I have zero problem about.  If they stay outside, that's fine with me.  Plus, local cats keep that population down.  There are rats everywhere in London, there is plenty of food rubbish out in the street to keep them happy.  So, I guess you could fit extra bars to the cage if you wanted to, but then you run the risk of the birds not getting in.  They like to be able to fly in and out easily, which they do.   
    • Ahh, the old "it's only three days" chestnut.  I do hope you realise the big metal walls, stages, tents, toilets, lighting, sound equipment, refreshments, concessions etc don't just magically appear & disappear overnight? You know it all has to be transported in & erected, constructed? And that when stuff is constructed, like on a construction site, it's quite noisy & distracting? Banging, crashing, shouting, heavy plant moving around - beep beep beep reversing signals, engines revving - pneumatic tools? For 8 to 10 hours a day, every day? And that it tends to go on for two or three weeks before an event, and a week after when they take it all down again? I'm sure my boys' GCSE prep won't be affected by any of that, especially if we close the windows (before someone suggests that as a resolution). I'm sure it won't affect anyone at the Harris schools either, actually taking their exams with that background noise.
    • Thanks for the good discussion, this should be re-titled as a general thread about feeding the birds. @Penguin not really sure why you posted, most are aware that virtually all land in this country is managed, and has been for 100s of years, but there are many organisations, local and national government, that manage large areas of land that create appropriate habitats for British nature, including rewilding and reintroductions.  We can all do our bit even if this is not cutting your lawn, and certainly by not concreting over it.  (or plastic grass, urgh).   I have simply been stating that garden birds are semi domesticated, as perhaps the deer herds in Richmond Park, New Forest ponies, and even some foxes where we feed them.  Whoever it was who tried to get a cheap jibe in about Southwark and the Gala festival.  Why?  There is a whole thread on Gala for you to moan on.  Lots going on in Southwark https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife I've talked about green sqwaky things before, if it was legal I'd happily use an air riffle, and I don't eat meat.  And grey squirrels too where I am encourage to dispatch them. Once a small group of starlings also got into the garden I constructed my own cage using starling proof netting, it worked for a year although I had to make a gap for the great spotted woodpecker to get in.  The squirrels got at it in the summer but sqwaky things still haven't come back, starlings recently returned.  I have a large batch of rubbish suet pellets so will let them eat them before reordering and replacing the netting. Didn't find an appropriately sized cage, the gaps in the mesh have to be large enough for finches etc, and the commercial ones were £££ The issue with bird feeders isn't just dirty ones, and I try to keep mine clean, but that sick birds congregate in close proximity with healthy birds.  The cataclysmic obliteration of the greenfinch population was mainly due to dirty feeders and birds feeding close to each other.  
    • Another recommendation for Niko - fitted me in the next day, simple fix rather than trying to upsell and a nice guy as well. Will use again
