Your guess is hopefully better than mine

My forecasting record so far on how the Irish will vote in a treaty to approve or reject The Lisbon Treaty is precisely zero out of one, as a year-and-a-bit ago I assumed, along with Paddypower and everybody else that they'd vote 'Yes'.

So a big thanks to everybody who took a view in last week's Fun Online Poll - a healthy majority (me included, but this is just gut instinct) think that the result will be another 'no'. I just hope that your combined forecasting abilities are better than mine were last time.

Staying with the Euro-theme, this week's Fun Online Poll is "Which was the first country to join the Euro-zone?". Cast your vote here, or use the widget in the sidebar.
