2005 predictions

Well in 2005 I set a few predictions and things to do. Lets see how I did. Not expecting too good

Ashes 2-2. Ok it very nearly was, and dont care I lost this one

Lions tour predicted 2-1 loss, was 3-0 oh dear, at least got result right

London win Olympics. Yeah. Bang on!!

Had Norwich City stay up on last day. Well they were just there before play but went down. Close.

Interest rates – 4.25% - 4.5% not so bad

House price - no change - actually about at 5-6% increase

FTSE – 5000 - well above that, got to about 5700. Great year for shares

dollar exchange rate - $2.10 - okay way off, was really going for it. was around $1.75-$1.80

Britney to divorce. Never mind. should have gone for Brad.

Charles and Camilla to marry. Yep.

Johnny Depp wins best actor oscar. Ok he didnt, not sure he even got nominated!

A reality TV show is stopped. Well a few have been because they were crap, but had thought of more substantial. May need to count as a yes!

Labour win General election with Majority of 100 - they did but slightly fewer around 70. Not too bad

US sign Kyoto accord. Well they have admitted global warming exists so at least some progress.

Ukraine applies to join EU. No.

British troops announce withdraw from Iraq. nope, but this year definitely.

A friend in York who is single now becomes engaged. You alldisappointed me. will need to carry this over.

Lint only does 10 of his challenges - Cheers Lint. needed this one

Royal Ascot is rained off - okay not quite, it did rain. Just thought it would be abd if York flooded!

So in all 4 out of 19 but another 6 quite close. So not quite Nostradamus. Perhaps I ought to encrypt them so I can claim later that I was right!!
