I guess it’s time to evaluate my predictions for 2012:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The referendum on Scottish independence won’t take place yet. Right<\/b>.\n
  2. SF<\/a> will leave the Danish government. Wrong<\/b>, but they changed their leader.\n
  3. It will again become possible to get a Danish passport in Scotland. Well<\/b>, not for adults, but small children can now again get it here as far as I know.\n
  4. The euro will not collapse – all current members will remain inside the Eurozone. Right<\/b>.\n
  5. The British inflation rate (measured by CPI) will not fall below 4%. Wrong<\/b> — it fell as low as 2.2% before rising again.\n
  6. UEFA 2012 will be won by the Netherlands. Wrong<\/b>.\n
  7. After a year with record-breaking levels of rain, Scotland will enjoy its second-warmest year ever. Wrong<\/b>; Scotland had a very warm March, but not in general a very warm year, and although it has been the wettest year ever in England, Scotland hasn’t been quite as exceptional.\n
  8. The Icelandic volcano Katla will erupt and cause a new flight ban over Europe. Wrong<\/b>.\n
  9. The Russian government will be forced to step down and call fresh elections. Wrong<\/b>.\n
  10. The Eurovision Song Contest will be won by Georgia.Wrong<\/b>.<\/ol>\n

    So, about 2 1\/2 out of 10. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

    I’m afraid that Troels<\/a> — who predicted “the negation of each individual statement” — produced a more accurate forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
