Said on Five Live this morning some American fool deliberately paid over $100 for 7 barrels of oil just so that he could go down in history as the person who pushed the price over $100...they called it a vanity purchase :mad:
 
I predict:-

# A hot summer, with the greens saying it is the end of the world and everyone else enjoying the sunshine.

# Record productivity in the UK, and a reversal of the credit crunch, due entirely to us not being in Euro 2008 :(

# Better than expected result in Beijing 2008

# A general election with a <30% turnout, due to the timing overlapping the start of the new series of top gear :)

# Tony Blair will stand for King of Europe, and lose. To a former eurovision runner-up.

# Huddy will be 'made', and be part of his next-door neighbours crew (in charge of 'wet works').

# OCuk will have a better than expected year, and Spie will upgrade his car to a Lambo Murciélago.

# Fox will exchange his 530i Sport for a 10 year old french hatchback with fabric seats and manual windows.

I predict that 2008 will see the year when TV manufacturers make TV's that you can switch over from certain channels so you don't have to watch them.
I hate it when the TV's in the house all switch on to the same channel at a certain time and you can't turn them off.
 
- Low election turnouts
- Pakistan engulfed in civil war
- Britney Spears suicide
- Barack Obama gets shot
- Iran drastically improves relations with the US
- More crises in Labor government
- ETA to ramp up explosive attacks
- Scotland to begin motions of attaining independence
- Russian tensions to largely dissipate but still remain in some minor form
- Major new sources of fossil fuels (mainly oil) found
- Unemployment and taxation in the UK reaches all-time high
- Iceland to join the Euro currency but not the European Union itself
- Huge Chavez continues building strong rapport in S.American countries
- Fidel Castro dies
- Nicolas Sarkozy's approval ratings plummet
- Beijing 2008 to prove extremely successful, China to garner far more respect than it had before
- North Korea shuts down nuclear facilities, global relations improve and isolationist status declines
- Conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan to remain convoluted, drawn-out and with no clear solution in sight
- Movie box office slumps to 2006 levels
- Writer's strike ends with no real results
- Internet censorship capabilities to grow at an exponential rate

Will these new fangled TV's of which you speak also stop friends, work colleagues etc droning endlessly on about the latest Big Brother happenings? - I think not.

I see 2008 bringing out a device that you put in your mouth and when friends, work colleagues etc drone on endlessly bout the latest Big Brother happenings, it shouts "STFU".
 
- more "oil alternative" methods of electricity production coming out/being improved etc.
- britney spears committing suicide
- internet more restricted than before
- the EU either starting to fall apart, or becoming closer to the whole of the EU being one nation.
