2009 now only 1966

I worked this out, under the new VAT rate it is now only 1966*.

Beatles – Taxman

This year, Indian-Pakistani peace negotiations will end successfully in Tashkent, the UK will cease all trade with Rhodesia, the Ba’ath party will take power in Syria, John Lennon will provoke controversy by saying that the Beatles are more popular than Jesus now, the Labour Party will win the general election with Harold Wilson at the helm, England will beat Germany 4-2 to take the World Cup, and new science fiction series Star Trek will air for the first time on TV.

This is going to be an interesting year. I hear there isn’t even a chaplain on board the spaceship in that new TV series, Alf Ramsay is going to try the 4-3-3 formation against Mexico, and the Beatles only have another album in them despite what Lennon says.

This year I won’t be making any resolutions, anything could happen.
