Cleaver

The missus is out on one of her cocktail drinking evenings and I'm a bit bored.

Fast forward to this time next year, 6th November 2010. What do you reckon for the following (my answers in red):

Average UK house price on the ol' Nationwide index (currently £162k): £165k
% UK base rate of interest: 0.75%
FTSE 100 level (currently 5,142): 4,900
Dow Jones level (currently 10,023): 9,500
Top of the Premiership: One of the Manchester teams
Political party in power: Tory
RBS Share Price (currently 37p): £1.05
Total amount pumped it to the UK via QE: £200 billion
The winner of 2009 X-Factor: Danyl
Bin Laden - caught or at large? Caught
This board - dead or alive? Alive
Will it still have 'recession' in the title? No
rewired - still here or absent? Still here
