Home >> Predictions 2006
So I am going to try for a third year to see into the future and see what 2006 will bring.
In the first few months of the year the planet Earth will continue its protest against our contamination of the atmosphere. There will be surprise storms and hurricanes in England and France. The Eiffel Tower will be damaged by a tornado.
The stars will fall. Spanish football will be astonished by the poor performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona will win the football League, the King’s Cup, the European Champions League and the Nobel Prize for Literature.
In May there will be a three hour television documentary on TVE1 about the new ‘infanta’ entitled “The Leonor, the Witch and the Wardrobeâ€?.
Barcelona Football Club will win the Round the World yacht race.
Tony Blair will be forced to resign in June when he loses the confidence of the Labour members of Parliament. He will be succeeded by Gordon Brown, the glum Finance minister.
Also in June Rafael Nadal will win the Wimbledon tennis championship by beating Samuel Eto’o in a nail-biting final.
In Hollywood Julia Roberts will start to make her political views known (yes, all three of them) and Angelina Jolie, instead of marrying, will adopt Brad Pitt.
Saddam Hussein will be shot. Whether as a result of a death sentence or an assassination, I don’t know. In July the UK and the USA will produce ‘evidence’ of Iranian treachery and threaten military action.
The Irish will continue to threaten no-one as they lose the Eurovision Song Contest to Barcelona FC’s Catalan version of “We Are The Championsâ€?.
In September the Spanish government will announce plans to make schoolbooks cheaper. Parents are delighted. Children stage a national strike and refuse to use their playstations for an entire ten minutes.
Crisis in the bread industry as the Vatican confirms that Bimbo does not exist. All is resolved when the Vatican Press Office runs the announcement through a spell checker.
Fidel Castro passes to a better life and Cubans get to vote. They vote for Hugo Chavez. But only because Ronaldinho is too busy running the United Nations.

In 2006 the Spanish Constitution will be changed to define Spain as a group of little countries joins because no one wants to add more stars in the flag of European Union and because the Liga will be less competitive.
The Princes and Princess of Asturias announce the future birth of a baby in 2007, the Constitution changes again to introduce the right to Leonor to be the future queen of the little countries that Spain wants.
UK returns Gribaltar and the Constitution is changed again.
Real Madrid,trained by Vicente del Bosque , beat Barcelona in the semifinal of the Champions League and after beat Villareal.
The smokers go on strike to have one hour a week to smoke in the office. The companies asks the Goberment to change the law and allow the demand.
2005 was a good year for me and the 2006 will be funny. I don’t make promises because I never fulfill them
It’s not easy write about predictions in 2006 and not confuse wishes with reality. Let’s try.
My wish is that Real Madrid wins all competitiont but reality is that wil be Barcelona who wins all. My wish is that every country accept the fact of pollution and make changes to find a solution. Reality is that nobody will do anything. My wish is that next year there will be less poverty in the world. Again, reality is Africa will be in the misery.
Is better try enjoy de life in the manner it comes and try to help the people that we can. And of course, don’t belive in the people traying to lie us with imposible predictions that we would wish in a precise moment.

Sometimes
You might just get what you need.
Hi Dónal, what’s up dude?.
You will not earn a lot of money with your predictions. Good luck, maybe you will be the new Rappel. You only has forgotten one thing, the next president of USA will be Simpson, Hommer Simpson.
The love of money is the root of all evil so I’m not too concerned about your prediction of my finances!
You say that Homer Simspon will be the next President of the USA? I’m sure my North American colleagues will have something to say about that! Mind you, I’d vote for Lisa Simpson.
O-SA-SU-NA!!!!!
Come on! You would be good people (like everybody try around this christmas days) and to leave to Nafarroa’s people to have some hope. It’s very easy to bet on a winner horse. We must to get some risk.
Gora Osasuna!
If i was going to predict honours for a Basque team, I would have chosen Real Sociedad (I lived in Donostia for 12 years). I don’t see Osasuna having the ‘staying power’ to keep up the pressure on Barcelona.
Athletic Bilbao will sack Clemente in February and hire Hans Dounzigo, the ski trainer, to prepare them for the descent. Real Sociedad will, like an discarded serviette, stay in the middle of the table.
Hello!. I don’t want to have bad thoughts but if I have to decide if the biggest event in 2006 will be good or bad, I’d say it’ll be bad, like a natural catastrofe. (I’m sorry for being so pessimit)
I don’t know which country is going to win the football World Cup because I don’t like football at all.
Next year, I want to dedicate more time to study English, to practice sport, and I want to learn cooking.
This year has been good in general (at least for me). I’m sorry to see this year goes because my brithday is on January, so I’ll soon be a year older…I think the time spends so fast…
I think it’s possible to guess some future events because some of these may happen with a high probability.
Thank you Virginia.
You say you are a pessimist. Why?
Some people are pessimists because when things go wrong they won’t be disappointed.
I don’t care of I am disappointed. I enjoy feeling positive.
Sometimes, it is better to travel hopefully than arrive.
Why not make 2006 your year of living positively?
Thank you for your advice, Dónal. So, other of my promises for the new year (answering to the question three) it’s to live positively :-)
Wesley here. Happy New Year to all. Regardless of what happens in 2006 I am convinced that it can only be better than 2005 (it certainly can’t get any worse).
Regards to all. I will be back soon.
