2025 Remembered: A-E

As we are at the fag end of 2025, it's that time when we look back at what has happened and remember the good, the bad and the Ugly of the last 12 months.  

A - Andrew -  Began the year as a Prince and a Duke and living in a mansion rent free but ended the year scribbling both titles off his stationary and hiring a removal van as the disgraced Royal was cut adrift from his Family as yet more sordid revelations came out about the perverts close friendship with notorious sex offenders and he became plain old Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.     

B - Bondi Beach - Horrific scenes with 15 dead and scores injured at a terror attack on a Jewish Hanukkah event at the Sydney beach but amidst the horror a real hero emerged as video's circulated of fruit shop owner, Ahmed al Ahmed, running up to one of the two attackers from behind and grabbing the shotgun from his hands before being shot in the arm and hand by the other terrorist and undoubtedly stopping the death toll raising even further.

C - Comet 3I/ATLAS -  Speculation was on on whether it was either a massive ball of ice careening around the Milky Way for the last few billion of years and entered our Solar System or if it was an alien space ship with hostile intent making the long trip to observe us funny looking humans but the vast majority of the scientific community said all the evidence pointed to it being a comet which is less exciting but it's gone now so we will never know if it was an alien on a sight seeing trip.

D - Denmark - America, being run by a deranged crackpot at the moment, want to take Greenland from the European nation but Denmark make the counter offer of buying California which they ignored but they did send some representatives to test the water of whether the Greenlander's fancied joining the United States and were disappointed to discover that were unable to find anyone pleased to welcome them and rather than tasting Greenland culture and seeing the welcoming faces of the locals, faced angry locals protesting and instead made a whistle-stop tour of an American Military Facility and then swiftly danced out again before they got dinged on the head by a snowball.

E - Eurovision - The largest Song Contest on the Planet isn't quite so large next year after the European Broadcasting Union fudged a vote on whether to allow Israel to compete and Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland and Slovenia pulled out of the 2026 Event in protest and the host nation, Austria, said they will not drown out the expected booing of the Israeli competitor in the hall or stop protests as happened last year.
