Paddy Power appeared on today's programme to give his predictions and odds for the year ahead.

Of most interest was that is odds against any huge "PADDY POWER" sign going up on Cleeve Hill again. Indeed, he says he's retired the sign and offered to put it up in my back garden as its final resting point !

Elsewhere he is of course looking forward to the National Hunt Festival in March but also to all the big events of 2011. He's even prepared to offer odds on Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall having a joint wedding with "William and Kate".

I'd like to see Zara and Mike have the wedding service at Gloucester Cathedral followed by the reception at Kingsholm (or if they want a smaller gathering I'm sure "The Jockey" can fit them in !)

I'm back on the radio in the new year ... and looking forward to being with you all throughout 2011.
