Is that something to do with the Euro?

[El Pibe]

LD, Has New Nexus been hacking your account ;)

Mind you "4. US actually invade Iran (or get Israel to do it for them)."

I'm not sure Israel can even reach Iran let alone invade it. (not to mention they lost a war against a small guerilla force recently, not sure how they'd fare agasint an army of half a million).

Ok here goes.

1. Andy Murray won't win a grand slam

About?

[computedshorty]

I predict that I shall have to get a Chair Lift fitted to my bungalow, and a new ladder to my upper bunk bed.

I think that I will have to have my Zimmer converted to be used by using it as a skooter on wheels pushed by one leg.

I had thoughts of tying a string to my Gozunder pot to pull it up to my bed, I will have to rethink that as I cant lower it carefully enough for my wifes sake, in the lower bed.

[Jah Lush]

1. Spurs win the League and FA Cup double.

2. Pigs will fly.

Hope I'm right about the first one.

Ok, am I allowed to change 'invade' to 'bomb the crap out of' for Israel?

[HAL9000]

Nuclear Safety Regulators will gradually come to realise that the future definition of an 'unpredictable' event will not include powerful undersea subduction-zone earthquakes followed by mega tsunamis causing simultaneous core meltdowns at three Boiling Water Reactors situated on the east coast of Japan.

I quite enjoyed these from KOW. I think he's either being too pessemistic, rather premature or both, but some of it made me chuckle.

kings of war[/url]]1. The Euro will not survive. It is manifestly untenable. The can cannot be kicked further down the road. The next time it is tried the foot will break before the can goes anywhere. The political shenanigans of European leaders to stave off the implosion are just that: shenanigans. European economies will tank hard this year and there will be considerable social unrest as a result. The best that can be said is that the residuum of wealth, low-cost security, and cheap opiates will probably see us through the worst of it until the Baby Boomers have largely died off. The life prospects of today?s under 10s are probably pretty good, the over 40s will be OK too, but everybody in between is going to get hammered. Domestic security will be preoccupied with preventing these righteously pissed-off people from breaking too much stuff.

2. China?s economy will slow past its societal stall point as the economic model of paying people to work hard in poor countries to equip poor people working not at all in rich countries with vast quantities of cheap plastic commodities deservedly fails on moral and common sense imperatives. Their economy will tank hard too and already existing social unrest will metastasise in the absence of any plausible political palliatives. Security in the Pacific will be preoccupied with a half-risen China attempting to fill the gap between their people?s expectations and their reality with jingoistic nationalism.

3. The ?Arab Spring? will achieve the hybridisation of secular authoritarian regimes with extreme religious elements. The inherently unstable resulting governments will only be able to unify on a policy of greater belligerency toward Israel to which they will turn again and again; otherwise both sides, recognising the situation will ultimately collapse, will act accordingly?elements of the old regime will continue stealing everything they can and moving it to places abroad where they may decamp while the new elements will work on building up their control of arsenals.

4. The United States can provide no global leadership in dealing with these problems because it is itself broke and tired, its current president is a man devoid of feck, and his opponents are reckless or weird, or reckless and weird.

[Lost Yorkshire Man]

Captain Scarlet will be appreciated for his geniusness...

[katie1997]

Global

Greece will leave the Eurozibe.

Norway's exploration and development of new oil and gas potential will be phenomenal.

Extra-virgin cold-pressed rapeseed oil will become the new olive oil.

SE22-related

The Curry Club will once again venture outside SE22 shock horror to the home of the Balti.

The CPT will controversially be renamed to The Third Place only to revert to its former glory as The Crystal Palace Tavern, after much ado.

Obligatory category for yearly predictions

New diet craze will be the 17-Day Diet.

New fitness item will be Kangoo Fitness Boots.

[red devil]

No more riots, instead a 3rd Summer of Love;

Riots break out when Oasis reform.

Ketamine, just say neigh;

Polish feminine hygiene products will be the new high.

A team from Manchester will win the Premier League;

A team from Glasgow will win the Scottish League.

A team from Spain will win the Champions League;

A team from Spain will win Euro 2012.

Milliband goes;
