Predictions 2010
Listen to the PODCAST
From November 2002 to October 2009 I wrote weekly articles for the website www.weeklyletter.com and every Christmas I would make predictions about what the next twelve months had in store. I predicted, truly, the month and year of Pope John Paul II’s death, I predicted the name his successor would take and I predicted the assassination of Benzir Bhutto.
Here are my predictions for next year.
- The Queen of England will substantially curtail her public appearances after something, possible something very permanent, befalls her husband the Duke of Edinburgh. There will be talk of abdication but she will refuse.
- Manchester United will win the English Football Leage Championship and Chelsea will win the European Champions League.
- There will be a surprise General Election in England in late March and the ruling Labour party will win it but with a hung parliament.
- There will be an Irish presence at all the French games in the South African World Cup – which will be won by Spain after they beat England 3 -2 in the final.
- Penelope Cruz will marry Javier Bardem discreetly and something sad will happen to another famous Spanish actor.
- There will be a major development in battery technology that will rewrite the rules for laptops.
- Osama Bin Laden will be detained or killed by US soldiers in late April.
Let’s see.
Happy New Year.
