Predictions 2023.

That Day We reach the time when I assess how well I predicted the ups and downs of the year and look forward to the next. Here we go again:

The Sugababes release an album of new material.

No, no they didn't.  But they did release a brand new single in September which was launch on The Graham Norton Show (see above) and reached a pretty respectable 14 in the pop charts.  No marks on the technicality that the LP isn't out yet.

More Doctor Who episodes found.

No.  Although some episodes went missing again instead.  No marks.

General election called, Tories lose power.

Ack, no.  Please for the love of Hera, next year.  No marks.

Spider-Man film starring Andrew Garfield announced.

Not at all and nothing on the horizon.  We're getting Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter films instead.  No marks.

New old Shakespeare play canonised.

What does this really mean in the context of anything?  Perhaps its that a play is added to the menagerie by the main academic publishers, which looked like it could be Arden of Faversham but then in 2022, Arden hedged their bets and added it to their "Early Modern Drama" line rather than Shakespeare despite some persuasive arguments in the introduction.   No marks.

0/5.  So let's do the fifty year old version of me a favour and choose some items which can't fail. Surely, this time? 

The Sugababes release an whole album of brand new material.

General election called, Tories lose power.

Overhaul of Disney "content" for better or worse.

Trump jailed.

X (formerly known as Twitter) sold again.

A couple of repeats, some open enough to any kind of change, one which is pure wishful thinking (you can guess which).

Happy New Year!
