Some bookmakers offer novelty 'year specials' - ie, Prince harry to get married, a brit to win wimbledon, the queen to abdicate, a golfer to shoot 59 or under etc etc etc.

I thought it might be interesting if we came up with some of our own and gave the odds. Serious, or comedy.


2/1 - David Cameron to announce a policy in 2006

5/1 - Arsene Wenger to admit defeat graciously in 2006

1/3 - Prince charles to take more than 2 skiing holidays in 2006

5/2 - Andrew Flintoff to be BBC Sports personality of the year again

25/1 - US constitution amended to allow Arnie to run for President

33/1 - US constitution amended to allow George W Bush to run for a third term

1000/1 - George W Bush to not misuse the word "freedom" in an ironic manner in 2006
