I agree 2016 has sucked big sweaty donkey balls, but compared to things like the plague, the 1916 flu pandemic, holocaust, etc it's not even in the running. next year, on the other hand, has the possibility to make this year look like a cakewalk.
^Given Trump's recent Twitter comments on Chinese policy (I mean really, Twitter FFS), I fear you may be right.
HAN SOLO DIED IN 2015 YOU INSENSITIVE *******S How can 2016 possibly compare? Maki role is on the right track. Avoid the news, politics and social media and then judge it.
Can't say I've had any overly bad experiences this year so it has been a fairly decent one for me. The job as been going steadily with a few new things to do, quite a few games have come out this year that I've really enjoyed, managed to pay off almost all of my loans and catalogues at the start of the year, had a nice holiday all to myself in the middle of the year... so 2016 has actually been a pretty good year for me. I don't take in any of the outcrying about Brexit or Trump, it's unlikely to have much impact on me and if there's anything that crops up I'll simply adjust.
When they make the film about World War 3 (scheduled to begin around 2019/20 - the war, not the film, they won't be making that for a while yet...) I can imagine them putting a scene like this in, of Joe Nobody on the phone to his Mum, telling her to calm down about some political fallout from the whole Brexit/Trump/Russia hoohah. And as he walks out of his house, mobile phone to ear, he utters the line "It's unlikely to have much impact on me and if there's anything that crops up I'll simply adjust" as the first nuke drops from the sky on his head.

I'm not sure it's even worth humouring nonsense like that... I meant if anything crops up work-wise or financially from the current state of politics that I'd adjust lifestyle.
2016 just keeps giving... The first American to orbit the earth, and the oldest man to go to space (Shuttle flight aged 77), last surviving member of the "Mercury 7" astronaut class & US Senator, John Glenn died yesterday after a short stay in a cancer hospital, aged 95.
There's about 56 million deaths globally a year currently. Are we going to start listing them all? I just ran my details through a death clock. I've only got about 1,920,563,900 seconds to live. Use this site: http://deathclock.com - you can watch your seconds tick down live!
Started out OK. Turned to crap after about May, sort of got back to normal around July. Rest has been quite nice if I am honest.
