Something is weird about the post, First it reads like a Novel, I know we have been reading Bondgirl's stuff for a while which makes many things sound like it was written by a Literature major, But this sounds like he was the one who Summoned Shabs watched him pack his lunch and come in and give the information to him. Thats just to much first hand sounding stuff which is why I think it sounds to perfect and accurate to be true.
Whether it happens or not, always stating its not going to happen you will be right far to more times till it actually happens as someone can only be right one time in that regards.
Time will tell, and very likely things could be extended but I just see it being stretched out another year. IMO for what its worth.
