Been reading the Mary Stewart Merlin books recently and I've come to the realisation I would be absolutely useless if I were shown the future or any kind of visions because I'm about one particularly loud noise away from being deaf in one ear and I have absolutely shit memory, so it would probably go something like this:
"Sir! SIR!! I don't give a shit that you're on your deathbed, I need you to SPEAK UP."
"He said the omen would be given to us in July...or was it June?? I dunno it began with a j...........maybe it was january?!"
"yeah it was kinda crowded so I didn't really catch what was said, something about the fate of the universe???"
*Cue whatever divine power gave me this ability staring into the camera like it's the Office*
