Predictions for 2009

It's time to brush up on your extispicy skills (or in Object's case cromnyomancy skills) and post your Predictions for 2009.

Mine are....

1. The first day of the 'motorbikes in the bus lanes' will be brought to an abrupt halt when both Boris Johnson and David Cameron get knocked off their bikes.
   
2. Bike polo will be considered as a demonstration sport for 2012
   
3. 2009 will see the "explosion" of the TT Hybrid as bike shops figure out that shopper bikes + tt bars = cycling gold
   
4. There will be a falling out between the Trixiechix and the Trixiedix and only a forbidden love between two members culminating in a huge choreographed musical number on the steps of St. Paul will bring the healing
   
5. The forum breaks through 8000 member barrier
   
6. We will be largely unscathed by the upcoming minicab wars in the summer
   
7. Hippy blows through the 30,000 post barrier and becomes one with the universe
   
8. Forum events will account for 1% of all alcohol comsumed in London in 2009.

hopefully yes
the hipsters will move onto their next fad and leave behind their bikes for us to scavenge and their tight black jeans for us to burn

Is that a prediction for a crash in the used fixed gear bike market? Back to reasonable price days on ebay?

2, More people playing polo than ever before in London... you know who you are ;)

It's not a prediction if you just say something that you plan to do!

1. There will be a falling out between the Trixiechix and the Trixiedix and only a forbidden love between two members culminating in a huge choreographed musical number on the steps of St. Paul will bring the healing
   
   
   

Can we somehow shoehorn our 'Slide and Prejudice' idea into this or are you thinking more Rogers and Hammerstein?

With you on that - bring on the great shorditch fixed exodus of 2009!

I predict: more of the same.

Troops will pull out of Iraq, leaving it in a worse state than it was before the invasion.
Obama will survive a genuine assassination attempt.
Peaches Geldoff will go into rehab; Winehouse will die.
It will rain all summer.
The EHBPC will be won by a London team.

We have to wrangle Corny into helping us with the script. And Stelle of course.

Mouse will come to west drinks

Son, are you on drugs?

Object will call someone on this forum a cunt for 365 consecutive days, thus entitling him to fight 30,000+ post hippy for control the universe in a mano y mano game of Death Chicken on Unipaks.

call me an optimist...

The EHBPC will be won by a London team.
