I'm sure you will agree that by any objective measure 2020 will not go down as the best of years. So let's draw a line under that and look forward to 2021.
So when you have a moment, please can you submit your predictions for what you think will happen in 2021. I invite predictions in the following categories:
1) a prediction about sport
2) a prediction about a fellow maggotdrowner
3) a prediction about politics (could be a political figure, party or even Brexit)
4) a prediction about a named celebrity / film star etc.
5) a prediction about the Royal Family
6) a prediction related to Covid
Your predictions should not involve things that you can directly influence. I.e. "I will go barbel fishing more often" is not a good prediction since this is (in the most part) within your control.
Please make you predictions as specific and interesting as possible. So don't say "Liverpool to win the premiership" 'cos that's boring and obvious. "Liverpool to win the premiership after being awarded 39 penalties by VAR in the last 4 matches to overturn a massive goal difference" is much more interesting and specific.
Only one prediction per category per user will be counted.
Providing I get enough responses I will score each prediction made and updated on here periodically - Up to 10 points will be awarded for originality and a further 10 possible points for accuracy based on if it happens or if something similar happens. I predict a small and perfectly useless gift may be provided at this time next year to the person with the best predictions.
Here are a few of mine (which will be excluded from scoring).
1) Jose Mourinho to explode whilst on the touchline. Bits of the grass in the surrounding area to be sold off for charity
2) WiseOwl to take up a needlecraft, his first work to be a tapestry of Dave's left leg
3) Boris Johnson to father three new children in 2021, mothers unknown
4) Dawn French to join the BNP
5) Meghan to file for divorce in the US, claiming unreasonable sexual demands. (Something about horses)
6) One of the covid vaccines to be proven to cause uncontrollable flatulence. 10% of all GP practices in the UK have to shutdown for 10 days to allow for fumigation to take place
