Thanks anyway to Cool Running, Genie and darealtulip. Fair play to you.

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

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.

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.
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.

I think I did reasonably well there. Who did win the Eurovision?

Hey bennc,

Used to play for Sligo Rovers, now plays for Everton. Still waiting for that first Ireland cap. Com on Trap if your reading.

more questions the better imo, Seamus Coleman, ex Rovers went to Everton, was promised a run out by Trapp in the recent friendly v Norway 3 days after the Rovers win. Bus loads from Killybegs mostly Schools went up, was there myself and the poor lad was left on the bench after spending the whole first half up and down the line with a big smile warming up. It was fairly sh$tty on him as for a change he really wants to play for his country. Since then he has kept a starting place with Everton and has scored 3 in his last 4 games.
