My list:
*Tablets replacing people's computers so fast.
*Interest rates being so low or going lower.
*Sky losing Champions Leauge rights.
*Sega not making games consoles anymore.
*Torries winning a majority in May. Labour doing so bad.
*C4 giving up Big Brother and Friends to C5/Viacom.
*Film4 and E4 going free.
*Driverless cars.
*Trams back in Edinburgh.
Anybody got anymore?

A Conservative PM bringing in same-sex marriage!
Scotland getting its own Parliament
Scotland voting on independence
Smoking being banned in pubs
Was discussed for a few years before it actually took place but thought it would never happen in pubs itself
When Ireland paved the way - not being the world's healthiest nation (and I am Irish before anyone starts) I thought that won't last
and now.......... (not that I am saying it is a bad thing)
And English cities with white British minorities.
Yes, a Tablet.
Jimmy Saville and his exploits.
911.
The End Of The World Next Week!
Flat screen TVs.
High street shops dying out so fast and the big names going bust like Blockbusters etc
A record number of people (over 1m) needing to use foodbanks in a first world country.
Take That still hanging on after all these years
Poverty porn.
Why do you care about someone else's divorce settlement?
Smartphones is the worlds dependancy.
Peoples lives are social media.
I don't, the question is "Things you thought would never happen?". I remember what she said outside the court (at least that which was shown on the news about her daughter's 'allowance' and flying across the pond) and that caused my jawdropometer to hit the same score as for 911. I never thought anyone could say such things and think it 'all right'. it just has always stuck in my mind, that's all.
We moved in to a basement with thoughts of our engagement. We stayed in by the telly although the room was smelly. We spent our time just kissing, The Railway Arms we're missing, but love had got us hooked up and all our time it took up.
I got a job with Stanley, he said I'd come in handy, and started me on Monday so I had a bath on Sunday. I worked eleven hours and bought the girl some flowers. She said she'd seen a doctor and nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter, the weather brass and bitter. I put away a tenner each week to make her better. And when the time was ready we had to sell the telly, late evenings by the fire with little kicks inside her
This morning at four fifty, I took her rather nifty, down to an incubator where thirty minutes later she gave birth to a daughter.
Within a year a walker she looked just like her mother, If there could be another.
And now she's two years older, her mother's with a soldier. She left me when my drinking became a proper stinging. The devil came and took me from bar to street to bookie, no more nights by the telly, no more nights nappies smelling.
Alone here in the kitchen, I feel there's something missing. I'd beg for some forgiveness but begging's not my business. And she won't write a letter although I always tell her and so it's my assumption, I'm really up the junction.
OK, thanks for explaining!
Conversely, I can't ever see us building another motorway again.
