        This is getting a bit wierd. I was thinking about this a few days before MF posted it and I'm sure it was MF who posted something some weeks back about tracking wasps to their nests a day after I mentioned the same thing to the missus.

        If you made a dirty great simulation model and put in all the major events of the last 20 years maybe it could predict the next one. Or, a bit cheaper, let's make a list and see if we can see a pattern.

        I reckon we are overdue for assassination of a PM myself, we have only ever done one, the Yanks have been far more sensible. Just think how democratic governments would be if unpopular ones got blown up a bit more.

            I don't think the Pope has more than a year in him, personally I think he is the George Lazenby Pope, they had to put in a buffer between JP and the next charismatic one who could well be black.

              But can you do me a favour and move your mobile a little further away from the small plant table in the corner, you know the one with aspidistra, it's causing interference on my recording device.

                Hasn't been many defining news moments recently. Sept 11th, 7/7, Iraq War, Diana.

                Apart from the Queen dying(which isn't going to happen anytime soon). Do the panel have any predictions on the next massive worldwide news event?

                I'm going for Nelson Mandela or Take That split up again.

                      And going by recent cases brought about through wishing damage upon public property (e.g. an airport for example) via a public forum one would worry
