With the final days of 2011 upon us, we thought it was high time to call in our fortune teller, Fiona Fortune.
Last year, six of her ten predictions, including the death of Bin Laden, came true. How many will be true this year?
Here are her exclusive predictions:
1. Kate Middleton with child
After the wedding of the year in 2011, we expect to hear the pitter patter of tiny feet in Buckingham Palace in 2012.

2. Pope Benedict will make his way to Heaven
Turning 85 in the New Year, we expect Pope Benedict’s health will continue to deteriorate.
3. Obama will be re-elected as president
In a very tight race, Obama will defeat Mitt Romney by five electoral college votes.

5. Selena Gomez will dump Justin Bieber for Damian McGinty
Everyone’s favorite new Glee star, the Derry born performer will be the cause of a rift between Gomez and Bieber and swoop in to offer Gomez a shoulder to cry on. How could she not fall for the talented teenager?

6. Sinead O’Connor wins Oscar for Albert Nobb’s song “Lay your head down”.
We predict Oscar success for Sinead O’Connor, who re-married this year. Her song, “Lay Your Head Down”, is featured in Albert Nobbs. The song is currently nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
7. Samantha Power to become U.S. Secretary of State
We predict the close Obama aide will become the next Secetary of State in 2012. With Hillary Clinton due to step down after Obama’s first term, she would be a likely candidate to succeed her if Obama wins re-election.

10. Save Lennox campaign a success
This year saw a worldwide campaign to save the Belfast dog, Lennox, who was condemned to death due to his likeness to a pit bull. In 2012 we predict the much loved bulldog/Labrador retriever will be reunited with his owners.

Irishphotograph-Ciara Ni Mhurchu, right now-give the religious crap a rest. Your imaginary best friend is not better than anyone elses.

The highly paid and fabulously wealthy RTE current affairs presenters will actually discuss a wealth tax as opposed to taxation and cuts on ordinary citizens.

i predict you will continue to censor legitimate dialogue you dont like or disagree with

Kerry to win the All-Ireland muirisobric? Going by the content of this article the fortune teller's Bull s*** level is fairly high, but I doubt even she wouldn't chance trying to sell that one..... Up Cork!

OldPerffesser--he did not come after fscarlson's guns yet, but the secret "Fast & Furious" scheme, where powerful weapons were supplied to gangsters, appeared to be a set up to blame gun stores and gun owners for such evil acts. The sacrifice of a few U.S. border agents and lots of Mexican citizens was probably considered a fair price by BO and his political hack, Eric Holder.

Cant believe Ameicans will make the same mistake twice.... BO is in over his head.......with unemployment being so hi and the debt being non-stop....How is that possible...

Occult Practices)...Deuteronomy 18).."When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God.

fscarlson - has Obama come for your guns yet? In what way has he crippled your freedom of Hate Speech? You should turn off Fox News for a while and go talk to actual people.
fscarlson | Dec 20, 2011, 11:03 AM EST
If I have any say, #3 will not occur. Most sane Americans can see right through his BS. We're tired of losing our rights and if we lose our freedom of speech, I'll be hanging my hat elsewhere.

I PREDICT "IRISH CENTRAL" GOES OUT OF BUSINESS.
CitizenWhy | Dec 20, 2011, 10:06 AM EST
I predict that Kate and William's first child will be a boy and will be named Seamus, to reign later as King Seamus I. I predict that Sinead O'Connor will get at least one cardinal's vote as the next Pope.

Geeeze, not a word about Kerry winning th'All Ireland. What's wrong wit'her. What kinda fortune teller does she t'ink she is? She's in my arse. She knows as much about fortune tellin' as my dog about fly fishin'.
