My Thoughts Exactly (3)
January 2008
Predictions !
I have never
considered myself as a ‘soothsayer’ but before Christmas, I read in the National
Press that Camilla is finding it very difficult being Charles’ wife as opposed
to his mistress! (Found out he is a boring, grumpy fuddy-duddy, did she? And any
romance went out the window!) I could have fore-told that! So maybe this
prediction lark is not that difficult. Here goes:-
Weather
Not much
‘global warming’ on the British Isles. JAN/FEB – dark, cold and gloomy! (Do NOT
make any resolutions – comfort food, drinks, and occasional cigarettes will be
needed!)
Easter
(very early) will even have possibility of snow. APRIL/MAY will be milder and
give false hope of a good summer.
JUNE
Heavy rain especially in the Wimbledon area, and over cricket venues, summer
fetes etc!
JULY
Similar, and guaranteed rain for both August Bank holidays!
September
As
children return to school we will have a heat wave! All will be
well till we get to:- OCTOBER
and mess with the clocks again. Dark nights and fog
after NOVEMBER 5th, of course. Unpredictable for DECEMBER although a
White Christmas will be on the cards (Christmas cards!) but will not happen in reality.
Politics
This will be David (call me
‘Dave’) Cameron’s year! He will not need policies, strategies or even great
speeches! Like a snooker player, he can watch as his opponent messes up great
opportunities, thus allowing him to rise from his seat to pot in easy shots and
win by default! Gordon Brown, meanwhile will continue oblivious to the fact that
no-one is actually listening any more!
Nick Clegg – no
idea! (Favoured Chris Huhne myself). But always thought that Charles Kennedy
drunk, was a better option than all the rest stone cold sober!
War
Wars begun with no clear
objectives will continue to ‘stalemate’ with nothing achieved except horrendous
loss of life, and seeds of hatred sown that will last for generations yet to
come. Have we learned nothing? Violence begets violence, and is no solution. No
joy there.
Carbon Footprint
As
you gaze from your kitchen window at your rain-sodden barbecue on your Bank
holiday, having been ‘priced-out’ of a cheap flight to a sunnier clime, you will
not feel like congratulating yourself that you are doing your bit to save the
planet! Forget it! Get yourself some sunshine; the planet can look after itself!
Aliens
Aliens will not make contact! Why should they want to? Would
you?Royalty
I have it on good authority that Charles will never be king! Shortly after he was
born, my mother declared, ‘Charles is an unlucky name’! (And she is never
wrong!) Now I am not suggesting that he will be beheaded; nor that he will need
a ‘bonny boat’ to speed him away from these shores- but ‘there you go’!
So predictions
are not that difficult. But depressing!
2008 promises
to be more of the same!
(If I am wrong
then I must confess that the instructions on my crystal ball were printed in
Polish so they could be some discrepancies!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR
