Having just posted on the London GP rumour (that's trotted out most years)

What other sure fire certainties never materialise?

PS Is Ronaldo coming back to Manchester United next summer? I've heard he definitely is.

Bird Flu.

The experts said, it is not a case of if Bird Flu hits the UK but when. I had to do a contingency procedure on how the business would run - 8000 employees - when bird flu strikes and this included having to factor in the deaths of one in four employees.

And what a surprise when a certain pharmaceutical company were looking for funding for their new factiry and a dead swan with bird flu was found near the proposed site for the factory.


Flooding

Something that was predicted and they go right, my company was looking for new warehouse space, our architect said we should not build on low lying land even though it had never flooded, it cost more money to build at 300 feet above sea level but the site that we had chosen was flooded in 2008 and 2015 and is now uninsurable.

Every curative measure the Tory party promised, ever.

Every prophesy any religion or cult have ever put forwards, ever.

Everything Dany Bahar has ever said about absolutely fking anything, ever.

Anything Donald Trump has ever stated as 'fact', ever.

I think that's filed under "rumours that will never be confirmed (but are almost certainly true)"

And mine - I was going to mention I'd heard him doing a speech fairly recently and if he's not related, he does a cracking impersonation of how Charles speaks.

Considering the younger the driver, the higher risk of a serious accident it's one of the few restrictions that could be placed on motorists that would make any bloody sense!

Almost like Harry grew up hearing Charles speak, you mean? smile

The iPhone 3G 4 4S 5 5S 6 6S 7 will be waterproof.

'Friends' will have a reunion series.

The State Pension won't be around when whoever says it, retires.

Any Daily Heil headline - especially involving, Weather (Ice Age, Heat Waves), Immigration (60m Poles next week), Cancer (cures or causes) or famously lost Children.

Audi/VAG/VW want to join F1, but they want *these* changes to make it more relevant to road cars.

And that some enterprising journalist would have had his DNA tested by now.
