I'm not one to point out mistakes for the sake of it. But the chap who wrote this means Nostradamus, not Nostromo. I've never read Nostromo so I'm relying on the Wikipedia plot summary, but I stand firm. Just wanted to put the poor hack straight before he gets laughed out of the Groucho one day.

From the article:

Crystal ball gazing is a notoriously risky affair that typically leaves aspiring Nostromos looking daft.

Wasn't Nostromo the space-ship in Alien? Can't be arsed to look it up, but if so, it looked worse than daft after Ripley blew it up.

I just looked it up and it was.

My prediction for 2007 is that there will be more foreigners in London.

The day there are no foreigners in London is the day London (and the country as a whole) ceases to be a world player.

Nah, you must be thinking of the ravens in the Tower.
