At least one of the Stones will finally kick the bucket.

The real prediction would be which one? 😉

Ozzy Osbourne will not die

A study based on UK vegans visiting their GP because of colds and flu in the UK? .........Come on, that’s hardly a serious health concern or a drain upon NHS resources compared to those who have diet related high cholesterol and go on to experience a stroke or heart attack? I’m potentially one of those people even though I’ve always kept my BMI around 21 and exercise every ...[text shortened]... fatty rubbish like pizza, cake and chocolate just because I’m now prescribed Statins to control it.

My GP told me that my “bad” cholesterol was a bit high and suggested that I should cut out certain things I enjoy in order to lower it. I said that I was unwilling to and he then suggested statins. I now continue to “enjoy” those same, enjoyable foods, and take statins, which do what they are supposed to ( keep the bad cholesterol in check). There comes a time in one’s life when one makes decisions that are not always the “best” but are the right ones for you.

Keith Richards.

He'll go on and on and on. Man, he was here before even God. 😲 🤔

@Great-Big-Stees

All the drugs seem to have mummified him. He looks like a cadaver.

@Great-Big-Stees

Does beer contain statins?

I hope it's not Charlie. He's always seemed fairly normal and unaffected by the fanfare.

Having said that; here's a few words straight out of Mick's own considerable mouth:

YouTube - "Time Waits for No One"

People have been predicting the end of the world for many decades now, and we are still here.

"Death of the Internet predicted - film at 11"
"The EU will fall apart by 2021"
"The world will end in 2012"
"All computers will crash in 2000!!!!" (I was there for that one. It's thanks to the work my colleagues and I did in 1995 or so that the predictions the illiterate journalists made in all of 1997 didn't come true in 2000. Remember that.)

Yup. Maybe humanity will come to an end, and well deserved it will be, but the world itself certainly won't.

Brian Jones.



Sorry...

(OK, maybe Bill Wyman?)

A few US Senators will rediscover their consciences and moral centers.

The Democratic nominee will not be Joe Biden or Pete Buttigieg .

That's not a prediction, that's a hardy perennial. And not in the USA alone, either.

@divegeester

Hopefully he will not be re-elected. If he does it clearly shows the rest of the world just how stupid we can be.

I would go along with that idea and mostly because my "main" mantra is, "everything, in moderation".

Everything in moderation?

You extremist nutter you.
