Just one more night and everything will all go back to normal. Introverts, humbugs and knackered livers can exhale, for the seasonal hullabaloo is drawing to a close. But what is normal in 2019? What can we expect? It appears Brexit will be the least of it. Should we get bunker building?

If the asteroid currently travelling towards us at 8 miles per second doesn’t smash us to space dust on February 1 (which, on the plus side, means we get to skip Valentine’s Day), we can look forward the population reaching 7,678,174,000 — I counted — and the launch of fully autonomous wasp-sized surveillance drones with teeny weeny cameras watching our every move, gathering data. Cute, eh?
