GAME: Your Predictions for 2008!

Wanted to quickly get a leg on the saddle and shove off SubSim into the new year (still 29 days away, lol) with a proper, "BON VOYAGE!" call.

Simply post what you think will happen next year. I'm not going to at the moment, because I'm heading off to a meeting with our local sailing group.

Well, if you want a dead pool prediction for 2008, Amy Winehouse has got to be a favourite, she's going to cark it for sure.

There will be a major hostage situation / bombing / other mass crime in Russia late
March or early April.

Labour will win the UK elections again. Poor Lib Dem gains will start another leardership change.

The New England Patriots will win the Super Bowl. Haven't really thought about 2008 past that.

Oh yeah, and my crystal ball has me agreeing with Biggles.

If I was you Torplexed I would get down to the betting shop and put a heck of a lot of money on it.

As Stealth Hunter has started a thread I shall post my ones here soon.

PS: Stealth Hunter, don't forget to bring your thread back to life some time in Dec 2008.

Positive expectations:

I will quit my current warehouse job or get fired before the house closes, whatever happens first.

I will break through the 10.000 postings barrier.

I will enjoy another SBP addon.


Negative expectations:

Money will be less worth than it is now. Well, that leaves me with more time I have for myself instead of chasing around shopping, so actually it might be something good.

I will be one year closer to death. Slightly narrowed time window to suffer from disease, high age, loneliness and attending other people's funerals, so actually that might be something positive as well.


So a correction: no negative expectations over here at all :p
