My Predictions for 2016

Well here we are at the end of 2015. The good news, if you are reading this is that we are both still alive (well at least I am right now and I assume you are because you are reading it). What will the future hold? Here's a few predictitons from me.

Due to a clerical error, Frank Lampard senior is the person who signed "The boy was out when the letter came". Abramovich, toughs it out and says "Frank Lampard Senior has my full support"
Dan Thomas trounces Richard Cornelius in the Conservative Leadership election in Barnet. Richard graciously announces "I've had a jolly nice time and I am sure Dan will have an equally lovely time.

Barnet Council workers stage a Free Kath McGuirk protested outside Hendon Police Station. The police state that actually tehy hadn't arrested McGuirk and that there were no charges. It appears that rather than attacking the Labour Defector with an Iron Bar, she had simply waved a salami and said "we know where you can stick your liver sausage", in reference to a purchase that the defector had made earlier in the day at Waitrose, when McGuirk was trying to persuade her to stay in the Labour group.
Unusually normal weather conditions prevailed in December, with average temperatures and rainfall. Thameslink services grind to a complete halt blaming  "unusually bad weather conditions".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course this is all a bit of fun. We know football club chairmen only ever make sane and rational decisions. We in no way would imply that John Dan Thomas would shaft Richard Cornelius or that Kath McGuirk would wave a salami around in the council chamber. And we certainly don't mean to imply that John Hart or Maureen Braun are past it, as both have shown what marvellous councillors they are in the last year. And even we don't believe the Tories would be silly enough to readmit Brian Coleman!

Dear Mrs Angry,
Surely you realise that as a revolutionary Communist, I have no sense of humour whatsoever and there is not a hint of humour anywhere in this blog. The term slippery refers to Mr Cornelius and his teflon coating, which ensures that for some reason, whatever goes wrong in Barnet Council, the blame never ends up on his door. The reference to Dick is simply because his name is Richard and he likes to be referred to as Dick. As you may too recall, I was educated by Nuns and say ten Hail Marys at the slightest sign of a risque innuendo.

I see. Thank you for the clarification. I am glad to hear there has been no use of smutty innuendo, which is of course a practice I abhor.

Happy New Year.
