Well here we are in another new year and all will change. There will be doubters and cynics but I for one believe that we are in for a stonker.

Israel will stop pounding Gaza into the dust and Gaza will stop throwing home made missiles into Israel. Putin will move away from the gas tap and the '...stans' will be quiet. Young black guys will stop stabbing each other and the 'Mail' will stop reporting on the princes and emigree Poles. Obama will be the saviour of the western world and we will return to an era of sleaze as opposed to the current fiscally oriented exposee's. Engerland will win everything that there is to win in every sport and I will go and watch 'Saints'.

On a personal level, I will stop swearing and will get back in employment. I will delay the onset of 'manboobs' by extensive exercise and suitable diet. I will maintain my judgemental attitude but adopt a more understanding/laissai-faire attitude.

I shall awaken my sleeping dogs.

Whoa........... must stop picking those mushrooms.

Dennypoos.....................as bloody ever.
