Title: The "I wish you all a Happy New Year" thread.
Post by: Rob Baker on December 31, 2011, 03:02:39 PM
I wish you all a Happy New Year.

I had a most enjoyable few days in the Metrolop over Christmas, and am just getting ready for a new year party -- which unfortunately has been decreed to be held in my new house. As Roger said, I'm also dreading the "dose of merriment". And the clearing up tommorow. Bah Humbug.

I was reading the Sun yesterday in the barbers, and was pleasantly suprised to see Tarks' handywork - are you their new cartoonist? Try and lay into the 'Coalition' a bit (nay, a lot), if you're allowed. 

All the best everyone - I hope 2012 brings you much happiness, a nice big win on the Lottery, and World peace.

We have turned into hermits around here. It will just be the hubby and kids bringing in the new year but it will be exciting as there is a new jigsaw puzzle of a scene of Times Square in New York at New Years. That and a few sausage rolls = a wild time.

Just been to see "New Year's Eve"...unexpectedly better than a lot of movies with a "star-studded cast" and brought back happy memories of trips to New York.

Have a good new year, one and all.

Watched a little bit of TV and went to bed before midnight.  Boring, but comfortable.  Happy New Year, everyone.

The first UK hour of 2012 has just elapsed, and I'm working, and stone cold sober - which is perfect for me, after a year that I feared might end completely the opposite.

Be well, be happy, and above all, be safe.

Happy new year!

Tarks.


PS   I'm just covering a few days, Rob, so that Andy Davey can put his feet up and watch the Great Escape on loop. Last one should be in next Tuesday, so the Coalition can probably relax... probably.

A Happy New Year, everyone, and may 2012 be good to you all. And many thanks to the small, gloriously daft bunch of regulars on here who continue to bring me smiles, year after year.
Have a great one!

Aw, shucks, Mince.  It's my birthday, and I doff the DPM for the last time.

Happy New Year!

Now we have to start the "how are you going to get fit in 2012" thread.

I have to lose 2 to 4 stone. It is said you should lose 1lb to 2lb a week, so that's 28 to 56 weeks, I think.

Ask me next year.

I also want to learn to sketch. So far I can draw cubes and spheres, so I have decided on a comic strip called Cube VS Spheres.

And learn to play the piano. But lessons are extortionate so I might teach myself. Except that I don't know how to play the piano so I don't know how to do that.

I also want to write two novels.

I look forward to your graphic novel "The Piano-Playing Cube Diet".

You can be my diet buddy - as you may remember I lost over 100lbs in about 18 months but have gained some back over the past two months (too scared to look how much).

I can give you pep talks such as "Don't reward yourself with food - you are not a dog" that type of thing.

Are there any other tubbies here? If so I could start up a special diet thread - with motivational thoughts thoughts each Monday.

Yes, Diane, start up your diet threat.
