The 2020s. A decade where everything has seemingly been āunprecedentedā, where weāre all wanting a year that is dull. Look, many of us did not expect the chaos of the last couple of years (apart from me, obviously) and perhaps a bit of insight into the next year will be helpful and reassuring. Ever charitable, I have looked into my crystal ball to see what the next year has in store for us all.
Manx Political Sex Scandals
Politics and sex scandals go hand-in-hand (so to speak). Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Matt Hancock and his aide. David Cameron and that pig.
Weāve had very few sex scandals on-island, that we know of. This year, there will be a handful of spicy sex stories- and only one will involve yours truly.
A vaccine for Manx Crab Syndrome
A vaccine will finally be created for one of the islandās most prevalent problems, Manx Crab Syndrome. Unfortunately, those who need it the most will refuse it. Classic.

Heard of this thing called Climate Change? It might be the end of the world, but itāll mean weāll have an absolutely corker of a summer. Remember to wear factor 50!
FC Isle of Man will join the Premier League
Look. I donāt really understand football or whether this is actually possible. But if you say it is impossible, youāre not a patriot. Simple.
Tower of Refuge gets turned into a block of flats
Thereās a housing crisis, guys.
Manannan will get stuck in the River Mersey
A disaster for international Manx Knob trade. Panic buy them now.
A statue of Little Miss Dynamite to be erected
The Manx love a statue, and we will be finally celebrating a Manx icon: Little Miss Dynamite. Rightly so.
