h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Jack Klugman (aka Quincy) will die

no, or rather he will die in a multiple car wreck along with Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury.

Bob Crow will ballot members of RMT for strike action inorder to shut down the tube for new year's eve, like he does every year.

Here's my Nostradamus bit:

I predict that someone famous will die on New Year's Day.

Dennis Watts

Five Eastenders characters will die by either getting run over, shot, or hit on the head with something (there doesnt seem to be any other cause of death around there), and at least two other characters will become pregnant and have an abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth.

All these lovely events will happen in the run-up to next Christmas and New Year to cheer the British soap-watching public up.

I was about to say, the most miserable and depressing of events will be crammed into the Christmas episode.

And one that I wrote before in the Facts of Life thread:

Every celebrity show on BBC1 will include at least one actor from Eastenders.

Every celebrity show on ITV will include at least one ex-actor from Eastenders and be hosted by Ant & Dec!!!

Master B will return

There will be a big hoo ha on h2g2 about something or other that weveryone will get hot under the collar about for a couple of weeks.

England will win the World Cup.

Wayne Rooney will get sent off in said world cup.

Arctic Monkeys will be the band of the year.

Some venarable respected researchers will leave.

Ill be back later.

The year will start with the usual excitement of wondering what the new year will bring.

1st of jan will bring non stop summer holiday adverts.

We will see more of what we have just had weather-wise where 1/2 inch of snow will cripple the road network and cause numerous accidents.

Summer will consist of 3 or 4 blistering hot days where the temp will hit 32 dges c. These days will be non consecutive and be spread randomly across the six week school holiday period which will otherwise be overcast or rainy.

Once the kids are back at school the shops will be full of halloween stuff/fireworks, to be replaced by advent calendars/selection boxes at the earliest opertunity.

Christmas will come and go and make you wonder what all the panic was about and why you bought so much food/drink.

A year today and you'll be wondering where 2006 went.

pheloxi becomes an

I'm kinda hoping that Kylie Minogue - unlike many other singers - resists the temptation to come back with a soppy, nobby comeback song. Like Gloria Estefan 'Coming out of the dark' or Marti Pellow 'Been around the world now I'm back again' or Stephen Gately 'New beginning'.

I hope Kylie makes a comeback single. Doesn't matter what it is, I probably won't like it, but still...

Here's someone's predictions for beyond 2006:

'I forsee the world shall not end with a bang, nor a whimper but a kind of en masse tut.'

Gordon Brown has said Britain should have a day to celebrate its national identity. Within the next week I betcha someone claims it's un-pc or racist.

Well my "return of master b" prediction has already happened.

Does that make me the winner of the "first correct" prediciton comp?

I predict that Master B will get a punch in the throat if he's not careful.

Wa-hay!

In keeping with tradition, I predict that GRJ will change his name back to SpinksSecret and post a 'Predictions for 2007' thread.

B

Howl with pride

I'm now expecting an avalanche of politically correct Hollywood movies.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I reckon a lot of Hollywood types have just spotted a bandwagon.

I predict that some will forget that I already started a predictions for 2007 thread and start another one.

(BTW, someone said Charles Kennedy would go first...)
