This time last year I made ten predictions for things I thought would happen in 2014. Let’s see how I did…

  1. UKIP will win the European elections CORRECT
  2. Nigel Farage will resign as UKIP leader in the second half of the year INCORRECT
  3. Jeremy Paxman will leave Newsnight. CORRECT
  4. Eddie Mair or Nick Robinson will replace him. INCORRECT
  5. Abba will reunite for a one-off concert. INCORRECT
  6. Scotland will vote No. CORRECT
  7. Belgium will be in the semi-finals of the World Cup. INCORRECT
  8. There will be another royal pregnancy. CORRECT
  9. Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins announce merger to compete with Penguin Random House. INCORRECT
  10. I end the year weighing under 16 stones, for the first time in 20 years. INCORRECT

Four out of then. Not good enough!

I’ll do my list of 2015 predictions in the next few days.
