Yea for it is unto this tyme of yeare agan when ye Wyse Woman predicteth all that will come to pass.
First thynge that will come to pass is Wyse Webbe etc will drop the olde englishe stchtick. For it do her head in.
OK that's better.
Second thing that will come to pass is I will skip the usual predictions. Footballer in sex scandal, MP resigns after whatever, imminent closure of major institution, weather hot in summer, cold in winter... yadda yadda yadda, this stuff is ten a penny, and will happen every year. If you want the details on that stuff, well that's what newspapers are for..
No, as the fog and dust from the New Year clears the following has become clear in my wee (dusted) crystal ball. I am seeing Predictions for all those listed on my blog roll....
January will see Charlie winning the first ever Nobel Prize for Blogs.
In March concern will mount as to the sanity of the Vegetable Assassin as she continues to insist that Black Bun is a perfectly edible substance, and the perfect accompaniment to Vodka Martinis
In April, Pat wins a ticket to the Royal Wedding. Her hat is a triumph and is featured in the Daily Mail.
In May, the imminent closure of the Helminthdale Haslett Factory sees demonstrations fronted by none other than Mr Musgrove who is enraged at the cynicism of local government. A certain T Aldous, is heard to mutter pot..kettle..and black...Elsewhere in an astonishing act of solidarity, Scarlet Blue leads a Ladies Sit-in at the Catskill Library. This sit in is largely silent, as would be expected from Scarlet.
By June Rog's new shed is finally completed. Lily and Oz mount a silent protest until they too are given a reclining chair in aforesaid shed.
Over the Summer Mapstew's rendition of Achey Breaky Heart tops the charts throughout Europe. To the despair of his long time fans.
Autumn sees Roses appear in a new daytime chat show, co hosting with Lorraine Kelly. this programme has to be suddenly taken Off Air when Robert Downey Junior appears... Nick replaces Roses...
In November Clyde's horse will win the Melbourne Cup. Despite earlier poor form in the Sydney Autumn races... Clyde himself is on holiday in THAILAND and unavailable for comment.
In December Mme DeFarge is named leader of the British Husky racing team in the forthcoming Arctic Olympics.
Ha! See! Still got it! Further consultations with ye Crystale Ball are available at a small price.
And remember there is a No Money Back Guarantee.

If I'm the Charlie you're referring to, then LOL: I've picked up more than two dozen followers since I quit blogging. It appears I'm much more appealing to readers when I don't say anything, not one word, which won't impress the old stodgyheads in Stockholm.
Or maybe it will. In which case we'll split the 100,000 dollars.

Oh, what fun! I just love the fact that I recognized all these people!!

Have yerself and yers a happy and healthy 2011, ye Wyse Webbe Woman.

Dude, 2011 should be all about therapy for Macy I think. :) Happy new year lady. I didn't have anything resembling a black bun or a mince pie unless you count a chocolate cake that I baked yesterday because I have my ladytime and the monster that lives in my ovaries demands it as a sacrifice. Who am I to argue. I wonder if my ovary monster would like a Black Bun next month? Hmmm...
Also, I was appalled - APPALLED! - to see some large diva lady on some new year's show singing Auld Lang Syne and getting the words wrong. Since when do we "DRINK a cup of kindness"? Philistines. We drink IRN BRU. We TAKE a cup of kindness. Honestly people.

Charlie - You're my "First Foot" on the blog this year! I'll assume you were carrying coal at the time (see stupid Scottish beliefs No 5376) and we'll split the luck on that one.
Pearl. Welcome. Sorry I couldn't see any cat related predictions.... have an IRN BRU instead.
Elizabeth - Welcome back! We 've missed you. Happy New Year.
Ms Veg - Hmmm was Diva Lady large on IRN BRU? Maybe you should let her know it comes in a lo calorie version these days... though I've never tried this abomination myself.

Limp with excitement at the prospect of THE wedding. I think I'm going to need a minder. Any volunteers?
3 January 2011 at 10:27
Funny you should say that, I am at this moment negotiating my fabulous new chat show with the most glamorous guests ever. If Audrey Tautou happens to appear every fortnight, this will just be an accidental oversight. But it might not happen - I mean, how could anyone surpass the sensational Roses?
3 January 2011 at 11:01
See, these are predictions I could do with coming true.
Nick, how about we dump Lorraine Kelly and do the chat show ourselves? Of course RDJ & Audrey Tatou are invited. However, you'll have to write the invitation. RDJ's lawyers sent me something called a Restraining Order.
Which is odd, cause I'm not into anything kinky.

You are indeedy the Mystic Mace of old Cheesetown.
You don't by any chance have next week's lottery numbers do you?
3 January 2011 at 12:27
I shall be watching these predictions with interest.
3 January 2011 at 19:20
Pat - I believe Nicholas Witchell (BBC royal correspondent de nos jours) is going to be unaccompanied too..
Nick - Warning now.. This Lorraine Kelly woman was definitely in the picture first..
Roses - Restraining order?? Bob Downey's people might have read my prediction already..
Rog - thank you. Important to point out that it is indeed Cheesetown which is old. Not myself. hem hem.
No word on lottery numbers I'm afraid. I don't do numbers in my spare time, god forbid!
MJ - Indeedy. You need to watch these predictions real close. Also you might want to place a bet with Ye Olde Macy Bettinge Shoppe?
4 January 2011 at 11:06
Silent??? I have resolved to be very NOISEY this year.
I want a chat show!!!
Sx

A wonderful prediction.
And sweet lady, you have been tapping into my dreams---
But there is a wee problem----I don't have a horse anymore and when I did have them, they were trotters----no Melbourne Cup for them.
It is still a dream

Scarlet - Ah This Be Wise Webbe Predictiones. Wishes be at Extra Cost...
Clyde - Wise Webbe Woman say "Look forward not back. If you buy the nag now you should have it trained by Nov, non?"
