On another thread on this forum there is a bit of a kerfuffle about people having predicted certain things which might or might not have happened, according to other posters.
OK, lets see who can do the best predictions for the coming year !!! And they have to be easily checked facts, not "I possibly meant that, or he really meant this" so we'll limit it to a few catagories which are solid and factual.
Here are the items on which I want your predictions;
1, Who will be Prime Minister after the Election in May ?
2, What will be the standard rate and top rate of tax and VAT rate in UK on 1st Jan 2016 ?
3, What will be the exchange rate of UK £ against the Euro and the Dollar on 1st Jan 2016 ?
4, What will be the price of unleaded fuel and diesel at the pumps on 1st Jan 2016 ?
5, Will there be a solution to the Ukraine problem by 1st Jan 2016, if so what is it ?
6, Will UK armed forces (not special forces or advisors) be fighting in Africa by 1st Jan 2016 ?
And in homage to Dammies law (oh so long ago) my answers are ;
1, Ed Miliband
2, 20% tax 40% tax and 20% VAT
3, Euro to the pound and Dollars to the pound
4, Unleaded £1-20 Diesel £1-25
5, Fighting stopped by agreement, Russia gets agreement to keep Crimea via UN
6, Air assault brigades and helicopers attacking Muslin terrorists in Nigeria.

Youtopia swingers club in North Yorkshire has a camping / caravaning / Motorhome field attached. Very popular camping weekends thro the summer. Fun in the sun during the day and the club at nighttime, then fall out of the club into your caravan.

Think a lot of the "sex scenes" were staged by actors or faked. They let the women keep their high heels on while playing on the beds !!! All the swingers clubs that we go to insist that high heels are taken off as they wreck the beds.

We're in Patong, Phuket, Thailand from 8th March for a week, if any couples out there would like to meet up.

A frenzy of swingers.
A swarm of swingers.
Really sorry, but Shel has been dropped in it at work and we now can't make it.
Totally devastated as we were so looking forwards to it.

I'd bet money on one thing.
IF the Scots vote for independence and it all goes horribly wrong then it'll all be down to the horrible English in some way, nothing to do with the Scots who voted for it.
John
I really think it's the currency question which will decide it and I suspect that the Scots will vote NO.
If you look at the independence / currency question and Alex Salmond saying "Oh yes, we'll keep the pound, it's our pound as well"
Then look at it like this;
Mrs Salmond comes home one night and says to her husband "Alex, we've been happily married for many a long year, but now I want to have my freedom. Nothing against you I just think I'll be better off if I'm independent".
Alex says "But honey we're better off together, please don't break up our happy marriage".
Mrs Salmond "Sorry Alex, I've made my mind up, we're splitting up...........but by the way, after we're divorced I WANT TO KEEP A JOINT BANK ACCOUNT OK ??"
Anybody on here been divorced? Would you keep a joint bank account with your ex ??

We are there end of Aug for two weeks.

Going to vote UKIP if for no better reason than I want to give a big kick to the other parties who for so long have been and still are Out of Touch with ordinary people.
J & S
Strangely, some of the people from the "old" days who we'd have classed as "going to try anything in swinging" are now leading very respectable lives away from the scene.
Life changes !!! But we're still here if anyone likes the look of our profile.
J & S
Def. sight loss would be the worst for me also.

It does too often seem that the Crims get away with it and the innocent victims are literally left to pick up the pieces. Can't see any of the current crop of politicians having the guts to change it tho. Maybe Nigel's mob would be less tolerant of the wrong-doers ??
John
He was out of order !!
John & Shel
If the photos on your phone are as good as the ones on your profile, guess the people at the store enjoyed fixing your phone !!

Don't think we need to get in-commers to swear allegiance to the UK.
But we should make it clear that anyone not born in the UK who is convicted of a criminal act for which the penalty could be a jail sentence WILL be deported along with all of their dependants. And we should do this every time !! Maybe we need a referendum to get the people to agree with this and then stick two fingers up at the EU if they try to overrule it.
