A UNITED Ireland, economic downturn and a coffee shortage - these are the topics predicted by Old Moore's Almanac for 2017.
The 253-year-old stocking filler has made a series of predictions for the new year, ranging from the credible to the outrageous.
In 2016 the Almanac's inhouse psychic predicted the year would not be remembered fondly, and that was truly the sentiment by the end of the year.
Other predictions for 2016 which came true included a split in the EU, Northern Ireland and Scotland in the spotlight and angry protests in London - so that covers Brexit.
Among his 2016 predictions, Old Moore also said there would be transport terrorism, airport terrorism and that Turkey would have a wretched experience in 2016.
There were terrorist attacks in Brussels Airport and on the city’s underground line. In France, a terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of people, killing 85, on Bastille Day.
In June Atatürk Airport in Istanbul was attacked, killing 45 people.
With last year's predictions in mind, here's what Old Moore's Almanac says is in store for 2017...
