    In Australia, the UK, and clearly in Canada too, it's the other way around. Blue means conservative, red means liberal. We are all aware that Americans use a different terminology for many things, and feel no need to change our current setup.

    That won't change in 2016.
    Just for the sake of accuracy, in the UK, yes, blue means conservative but red doesn't mean liberal. Red means Labour, Socialist. Yellow means liberal.

    That won't help you find her, Dive, but it's probably all for the best.

    What makes tracking her down more difficult is that she is living in pre-1994 Britain before Blair took over the Labour Party. Nowadays, socialism in the UK's "red" party can be accessed by time machine only.

    If we had a time machine, we could go back and check that.

    As for "predictions for 2016", I predict that we won't do that, though.

    Seems like the first two month this year brought record highs in temperature.

    In fact I am tempted to offer a prize for the Person predicting most efficiently. The prize will be a RHP Coffee mug delivered to the winner.

    Rules:
    At least two predictions.
    The Person with the highest percentage of hits with non-trivial PRE-dictions wins.
    The actual number of succesful predictions will be deciding at same percentage.

    Seems like FMF could get a hit with the Leicster prediction.

    So Leicester won, as to my information for the first time.

    But the prediction still counts 😉

    It was a joke about what divegeester and Startreader were bantering about.
