Phil - LOVE the new year vid. Jeez I got so nostalgic for DC!! I am going to put some on my Walkman right away. Inspired choice.

Your NY looks infinitely more interesting than ours, spent it with the folks which was nice but very tame. Think next year we will have a party.

lol bx

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone and apologies for the late posting!!!

Barry - thanks for the calendar.

We are still planning to come up to see you some time but life (and death) keeps intervening.

Phil - love da vids, dood! keep 'em comin'

happy new year it sounds like it was a hectic time for you but good fun so thats good. we were much busier than last year christmas eve and new years eve which is lucky as there are a few(!) bills to pay and my car has just failed its mot by a list of 9 things! nye was hard work as the bar was non-stop but we made up for it later, still a party animal at 6am, well just, can't exactly remember the last bit but a good effort none the less. new years day was cancelled needless to say although i did manage to go to mums to play with my sisters new 'friend' it appears she has bonded with a man on the internet through her singing(?) career. he is a drug addicted alcoholic, cross dresser called kitty. turns out he is lots of fun and i think they are coming in january for the open mic night we have planned. quite a bit of interest in it so hopefully it will be a fun night. lil c wants us to do a duet but we have artistic differences as i think the song he has chosen is boring, i think we would be a fab sonny and cher personally but he wants me to be a lulu! i feel totally partied out now and have taken all the xmas decs down in my flat now as i didnt like 2007 so happy to move on. pete is planning a huge weekend game for april and im hoping to do a bar for it, imagine, up to a hunded blokes without alcohol and me with a car full of tinnies, could be onto a winner! back to real life now so off to eat a lettuce leaf, yum! good luck with the little monsters Lxxx

Thanks Carole, I don't believe I sang Aud Lang syne, it was more korean pop and bad cover versions. Happy New Year.
