I predict the crash may or may not happen a year or so either side of your prediction.
One of us should be close, unless we are both wrong and then someone else me be closer

Life's too short to read any of them TBH. I read all the other posts, just none of his, because they are extremely 'samey', very long and boring. If I wanted to listen to someone telling me what to do, I would go downstairs to see the wife.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I have no idea, think it is passed on genetically.
I'm a firm believer that when a male child is born, shortly after the midwife slaps his bum a lawyer should be reading him his right to remain silent and warning him anything he says to a woman can, and will, be used against him up to 100 years later.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

I think things will get worse before they get better, possibly significantly so, but to be four times worse than 2008 would effectively equate to a financial apocalypse. 4 times as many company’s failing, 4 times as many house repossessions… etc, etc.
The energy price cap has just gone up significantly, this will impact disposable income. Sadly, this isn’t helpful with the 50/30/20 model as the ‘50’ just went up for all households. I guess some families will need to move downmarket out of Bradford? In addition, this also looks to get significantly worse (potentially) before it gets better. This is bad news for inflation and the economy as a whole.
Unless you are an active ‘stock picker’, which our friend seems to be, the safest approach is to diversify based on your risk tolerance and hold your nerve through the bad times. There is plenty of evidence to demonstrate that even someone who only invested at the peak before a crash, in a diversified portfolio, would still be better off than investing in cash if they held their nerve and stayed invested over the longer term - even if they did so repeatedly! Clearly this is not the same for picking stock in a limited number of companies in a narrow field.
Google ‘behavioural finance’; This gives good insight into how (many) humans tend to make decisions with their heart rather then their head, and then regret the impact of their actions. ‘Time in’ is critical to the typical diversified investor, ‘Timing’ is critical to a ‘stock picker’.
It is highly unusual for a stock picker to never make a bad trade, but I guess showing screen shots of a loss isn’t good for the ego.
If our friend is as talented as he claims to be, I wonder why he’s not enlightening a Ferrari or Porsche forum somewhere?
Maybe he’s just starting out as a trader and hasn’t made his fortune yet? Maybe the losers are paring back the winners?
