My OperaHappy New Year !!!

What a year that was!
I've just finished my 大掃除, 'end of year cleaning', not that I had much to do, as I've only just moved in, and I only have one room to clean, and I've only actually had a few days there, because I was in Tokyo for five days until yesterday. Still, I had to rearrange all the cardboard boxes I have full of stuff, and start using them as furniture until I get some real furniture. All I have is a table (for my computers) and a futon at the moment. All I need now is a few bookshelves for my massive library and I'll be sorted!
So, here we are, at the end of the year, and the start of a new one. What will 2007 bring us that 2006 didn't, I wonder? Let's see. What were the predictions I made for 2006, at the beginning of the year?
1.England will win the World Cup in Germany (and will play Germany in the Final). This nearly happened, I suppose. We only lost because Beckham and Owen got injured and Rooney stamped somoene in the balls and got sent off. Mind you, Germany didn't get into the final either, so I was doubly wrong there!
2.Liverpool will finish top of the Premiership. I was close again, but then this is an easy prediction to make.
3.Everton will get battered. I was right here, but again, this is an easy prediction to make!
4.The weather will get worse, with terrible flooding in the south of England. Correct, as far as I know.
5.There will be forest fires and drought in Southern parts of Europe. Correct.
6.An important religious leader will be assassinated. Would this not be Al-Zarqawi, by any chance?
7.There will be intense social upheaval in Europe, and possibly a government will fall (maybe Italy). Well, Berlusconi left this year, but not because of social upheaval.
8.There will be more earthquakes, maybe in California and Tokyo. Thank God I was wrong here.
9.There will be an appearance of a previously unknown comet. I think there was the appearance of a previously unknown planet, further out than Pluto (and actually bigger). Or maybe I was right...: A new comet?
I wasn't too wrong, was I?
Anyway, I hope everyone had a decent 2006, and I hope that 2007 proves to be even better. For me, it could only get better.....
Anyway, nice little film to round the post off with: The War in Iraq
Enjoy,
