Competition Sweet F.A. Nostradamus

[manangatang]

​

Oh hello there everyone.

Because of my immense boredom, I’ve been doing some reading on the information superhighway!

YouTubing David Bowie soon gatewayed into cat memes and then eventually onto some pretty deep reading about Nostradamus.

I learnt a few facts about Nostradamus that you may not have known!

• His first name is actually Michel and his original surname was Nostradame
• His gout was so bad he ended up dying from it (Bloodied52)
• He dabbled in the occult
• He had six children
• He published a cookbook
• He predicted stuff

This information inspired me, so I thought I’d share what I’ve learnt and see if people would like channel to channel inner Nostradamus...es (Nostradami?).

It’s probably less channelling the gout and the kids and more about channelling the predicting stuff.

Although the big fella tried to predict significant future events like the end of the world, here's what I’m asking you to predict:

• Minor premier at the end of the Home & Away season
• Last place at the end of the Home & Away season
• Eventual premier
• Runner-up
• Mobbs medallist
• FRED medallist

A correct prediction scores you a point (incorrect ones score you no points and a look of stern disappointment). The participant with the most points at the end of Season 29 wins.

The competitor with the lowest score will win the coveted 'Natural Dumbarse' prize.

All entries to be finalised by the stroke of midnight on Wednesday 4th March.

Here’s a handy template for you to use…

	Your prediction​
Minor premier
Wooden Spoon
Eventual premier
Runner-up
Mobbs medallist
FRED medallist

Good luck.

Come the millennium, month 12
In the home of greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader.​

 

[The Filth Wizard]

My prediction - Mang will have his thread starting permissions revoked.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Poor Nostradmus. That was a bad way to go. Probably had a diet high in purines - crustaceans, asparagus, pulses, offal etc.

... and yes Mang, I caught that cheeky tag.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

My prediction - Mang will have his thread starting permissions revoked.

At least you were not tagged into it for a gout'ish reasons.

 

[manangatang]

My prediction - Mang will have his thread starting permissions revoked.

Noted. But I must say I don't think this is possible, and it certainly won't count to your score.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

At least you were not tagged into it for a gout'ish reasons.

I think he reserved that for gouty people.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I think he reserved that for gouty people.

Hiya Filthy, wotcha doing here? Gout is the subject not your goitre problems.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Noted. But I must say I don't think this is possible, and it certainly won't count to your score.

When was the last time ND scored?

 

[manangatang]

When was the last time ND scored?

NaturalDisaster - can you please confirm?

 

[NaturalDisaster]

NaturalDisaster - can you please confirm?

Will it get Bloodied52 off my back?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Will it get Bloodied52 off my back?

Twice more today makes the regulation of 6 per day. In all fairness though, Mang raised your scoring issue before me.
