    Ooh, it's a new year, get your predictions in folks.
    I read that Tom Karen, designer of the Raleigh Chopper, amongst other things, has passed.

    Right, now for my predictions. I got one right last year even if I was wrong about the timing.
    Morgan Freeman, I suspect the premature rumours of his passing will cease to be premature before too long.
    Prince Harry, who knew that Andrew would cease to be their biggest embarassment?
    Putin, one can only hope.
    Tragedy pick is still Keith Richards, although I really hope not

    I remember seeing him checking into a flight in Heathrow in the 90s with a colleague of mine who got very excited and exclaimed loudly "It's Ravenelli!"

    Need to update my pics for this year so here goes.

    Putin rumour states he's a dead cert.

    Trump. Quite possibly another Robert Maxwell.

    Young Harry Wales if he keeps upsetting the establishment might be a jFK type accident.
