2. Article 50 is triggered
3. Joe Root takes over as captain of the England cricket team and scores over 1,000 test runs in the year
4. It is an enormous year for physics as the first "photograph" of a black hole is taken, earning a Nobel prize
5. Brits win 5 bracelets at the WSOP, with one player winning two.
6. May, Corbyn, Sturgeon and Farron lead their parties all year.
7. Fleabag wins a BAFTA.

Only rule is no celebrity deaths, please.

- Soft Brexit prevails. David Davis resigns in protest. Amber Rudd becomes Foreign Sec. Jeremy Hunt promoted.
- Six of the UK's eight most significant political parties are led by women when Mary Lou McDonald is elected leader of Sinn Féin.
- Rex Tillerson resigns. Johnny DeStefano becomes a major player in the White House. Trump visits Russia, UK and Ireland.
- The Democrats win control of the House in the mid-terms. Republicans keep the Senate. Romney wins Utah and attacks Trump.
- The Mueller investigation finds no evidence of collusion with Russia by Trump or Kushner. Impeachment attempts go nowhere.
- North Korea / South Korea relations improve significantly.
- There is a backlash against "excessive" sexual harassment allegations, but there are still more top-level casualties.
