Back in 2007
I wrote a series of predictions on a blog.
It was an attempt to have a go at Sylvia Browne but sadly has become one of the to most searched and read articles.
I made the predictions vague and applicable to any year and as we get to the last quarter most have arguably come true.
It is sad that I get so many comments inferring that I have a gift, when my gift is for language and general ass-hattery. I leave those comments unpublished as they give weight to ludicrous arguments.
Sorry if you think it is spamming but it is relevant I feel:

Cool
I loved your explanation of how predicting chaos is just not good enough. I always wondered why if psychics and other assorted loons could predict the future why they wouldn't be absolutely specific about it.
If I had a gift (or advance info) like that I would be publishing every tiny detail to prove it

I like how every single one has the obvious behind it.
Like the first one - Because it's America, and there's a black man up for it.
"someone famous will die" is my favourite.

Not long to go by all accounts.
Best order the balloons now before the rush.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to piss on her grave before I die.

As a child of the 1970s, with my formative years during the 80s
I have resolved the following:
[1] On the day that hag dies, I am downing tools immediately from work, and heading down to the pub to celebrate. Possibly chanting "Ding-dong, the witch is dead".
[2] Once she has been interred in unhallowed ground, I am making a pilgrimage to it. At the least I will endeavour to urinate on the ground below which her decaying corpse is buried; if possible I'll try for a runny stool.
I have a few other north-easterners who feel pretty similarly.
Anyone for a b3ta bash to collectively micturate on the decaying shrew?
NB. I've noticed a worrying trend for people to get all revisionist on the Thatch, saying what she did was harsh but necessary, and even comments that she was a worthy leader. Fuck that. She was a grasping cunt who had no appreciation for the section of the country north of Watford. She willingly sold the country into Friedman economics. She caused a massive deal of harm to society with her greedy and evil worldview. For this she will never be regarded by me than anything other than the poisonous, warped, fucktoad she was.
/soapbox.
