ANYONE who knows me will already know that I am absolutely dreadful at predicting anything. It's a pure fact. 2010 was a luckier year for me in that aspect, but 2011 has already followed the previous poor rate of success. I may not have a crystal ball, but the magic 8 ball, which you can still get at weird shops and fairs, and also even as a phone application is my predictor.
So, last night, I put him to the test and asked it some questions. This is the feedback it gave me. Trust it as a sign...
Will Jamaica still be in the Commonwealth by this time next year? Don't count on it
Is Gordon Brown going to make a sensational return to politics? My sources say no
Will a Skins movie ever be made? Without a doubt
Does Milton Keynes stand any chance of ever gaining city status? Concentrate and ask again
Do you see wedding bells for Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton? Without a doubt
Should Chelsea realise they made a mistake and sell Fernando Torres in January 2012? Outlook not so good
Will a British side win the 2011/12 UEFA Europa Leauge? Outlook good
Do you see Ed Miliband remaining as leader of the Labour party at the end of the year? As I see it, yes
Is Sebastian Vettel going to wrap up the 2011 FIA Formula One world championship next weekend in Singapore? It is decidedly so
Will Gaddafi be found in his hiding place? Without a doubt
Will England win the 2011 Rugby World Cup? I'd better not tell you now
In 2,000 years, would you say that dinosaurs return to rule the planet? Reply is hazy, try again
A u-turn by Simon Cowell; will he return to be a judge for the live shows of The X-Factor? Yes- definitely
A Manchester club to win the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League? Reply is hazy, try again
Do you see Sarah Palin being the next president of the United States? Very doubtful
Can Nick Clegg make himself even more unpopular with another change of heart? My reply is no
Will HMV follow Woolworths in going bust by the end of the year? Ask again later
Do you see it snowing on Christmas Day 2011? Yes
Out of someone I personally know, will there be a winner of the National Lottery? Cannot predict now
Do you see Hollyoaks being axed by Channel 4 next summer? As I see it, yes
So, there you go. Believe it or not, the magic 8 ball has had its say - let's see if it carries physic powers!
