    24 Hours later....3 people bothered to do this out of 134. It would have took you less than 3 minutes to do.
    Thanks anyway to Cool Running, Genie and darealtulip. Fair play to you.

    This proves what I've suspected for a long time now... what a waste of space this narrow minded little parochial forum is. Couldn't be bothered eh! Prefer looking at the 'Missing cats', 'Icy Roads', 'Barna ****in Wasters' .'Stoes Closing,' 'Not enough sauce in Donaghy's', 'Happy Christmas...let's hope it's a good one' posts...What a small world most of you live in eh!

    This will be my last post here.

    Good luck to you all...

    there could be any number of reasons why a huge amount of people may have viewed and not responded, i my self probably viewed it a few times before responding from different computers (not logged in) and my mobile (to fiddly for creating long posts), that accounts for up to three viewings, others may have seen it using the new tabs opiton, others may have just wanted to consider their answers before responding

    and alot of those subjects you have quoted might have been of geniuene interest/concern for the posters, it is after all a local forum for local issues subjects

    Well I didn't post because I know shite all about sport, and half the questions are on it. But for what it's worth:

    1. Will Brian Cowan still be Taoiseach ? (Yes/No) Yes - like anyone loses their job for f*cking up in this government.
    3. Will the Power Sharing Executive in the North still be in place? (Yes No) Yes
    5. Will Jedward have a No.1 UK hit? (Yes/No) No
    7. Who will be Prime Minister of Britain? David Cameron - god help us.
    8. Will Ryanair have taken over Aerlingus? (Yes/No) No.
    10. Will Diarmud Martin still be Archbishop of Dublin? (Yes/No) Yes - see answer re: Cowen
    11. Will we have had a General Election? (Yes/No) No
    16. Will the Euro be worth more than Sterling? (Yes/ No) Yes
    17. What will be the cost of Diesel per Ltr (at Mullins, Bundoran Rd) A lot. Maybe €1.50
    18. What country will have won the Eurovision song Contest? (Guess of course) Somewhere in the former USSR
    20. Will all of the party leaders of FF, FG, Lab, Greens and SF still be their party leaders? (Yes/No) I foresee - or possibly just hope for - a change of leadership in FG. Otherwise I imagine the make-up'll change very little.

    Thanks everyone for doing this. It's only a bit of craic at the end of the day. I know I said I wasn't going to do the Sligo Forum thing again... Well to be honest, was a bit pissed that night when I wrote that post and would now like to say I'm sorry about that. So there. Sulk over.

    I promise to buy the most accurate 'predictioner' on 31st December 2010, €25.00 'Drinks Voucher' in Donaghy's. (Will work out details later)

    Thanks again Folks. Keep posting until end of January. :)

    PS Sorry Irish Stew, No changing>

    Thanks everyone for doing this. It's only a bit of craic at the end of the day. I know I said I wasn't going to do the Sligo Forum thing again... Well to be honest, was a bit pissed that night when I wrote that post and would now like to say I'm sorry about that. So there. Sulk over.

    I promise to buy the most accurate 'predictioner' on 31st December 2010, €25.00 'Drinks Voucher' in Donaghy's. (Will work out details later)

    Thanks again Folks. Keep posting until end of January. :)

    PS Sorry Irish Stew, No changing>

    we'll hold you to that

    Jabby, I read the questions and saw so many sports ones, which I know nothing about, that my eyes glazed over.

    Nice apology and I have had the odd hissy fit on here too, so join the club. :D

    24 Hours later....3 people bothered to do this out of 134. It would have took you less than 3 minutes to do.
    Thanks anyway to Cool Running, Genie and darealtulip. Fair play to you.

    This proves what I've suspected for a long time now... what a waste of space this narrow minded little parochial forum is. Couldn't be bothered eh! Prefer looking at the 'Missing cats', 'Icy Roads', 'Barna ****in Wasters' .'Stoes Closing,' 'Not enough sauce in Donaghy's', 'Happy Christmas...let's hope it's a good one' posts...What a small world most of you live in eh!

    This will be my last post here.

    Good luck to you all...

    Jaysus, will ya relax! you can't demand or insist upon people replying to a thread you started ffs! It was a virtual closed questionnaire anyway. You might have had more respondents if you had let people decide for themselves with their own predictions. It is the Sligo forum after all so local issues like - Barna *****, Icy Roads, etc,etc, are relevant to this forum....comprende!

    Well I didn't post because I know shite all about sport, and half the questions are on it. But for what it's worth:

    1. Will Brian Cowan still be Taoiseach ? (Yes/No) Yes - like anyone loses their job for f*cking up in this government.
    3. Will the Power Sharing Executive in the North still be in place? (Yes No) Yes
    5. Will Jedward have a No.1 UK hit? (Yes/No) No
    7. Who will be Prime Minister of Britain? David Cameron - god help us.

    11. Will we have had a General Election? (Yes/No) No
    16. Will the Euro be worth more than Sterling? (Yes/ No) Yes
    17. What will be the cost of Diesel per Ltr (at Mullins, Bundoran Rd) A lot. Maybe €1.50
