Automated Attack Monkeys, Scalpel Mines, & Acid

Firstly, lets see how I did with my predictions and resolutions:

Ten Resolutions:

1. Didn't happen
2. Sort of happened: if I had kept to the same level of earnings, we would have been fine.
3. Would have happened, if not for Gideon
4. Happened a bit, but not as much as it should have
5. Happened only because I had fewer to miss, but those that I did have and missed were important ones...
6. would have happened if not for Gideon
7. I got my old one freshened up, so that's another sort of. Would have had a new one if the design was sorted and, inevitably, were it not for Gideon
8. Didn't happen
9. didn't happen
10. Didn't happen

And ten predictions:

1. Correct
2. Nearly correct - was up on the last two, but beaten by 1997
3. Nearly correct - the Tories got the most votes, but not an overall majority
4. The Tory members of the coalition ARE mostly useless, so I'm calling this one correct
5. Not yet, but still on the cards
6. Totally correct in all respects
7. Also correct; other options presented themselves though
8. Correct
9. Correct
10. Incorrect, because he never got around to entering

Must do better LOL. I shall put this year's up on New Year's Day. And if anyone wants to sign up for this year's dead_pool, go ahead. I don't think anyone has got more than two, but there's a day to go, so who knows who will win? If you want to check who people put on this year's lists, click here.

If you fancy taking a morbid wager, dead_pool is now up and running. I have posted the rules post and a post for everyone to attach their lists to today. I have a couple of meatspace people whose lists I will be obtaining later, but anyone else who wants to join in, do feel free to do so. You can join the comm on Dreamwidth with an open ID if you don't have a Dreamwidth account (or if you want an account, I have a few invite codes), or if you don't want to join the comm you can email me your list if you like.
