Now, I know none of you have commented on the last 100 posts of mine. What, your RSS reader wasn’t working? You say you can’t see anything here that I’ve written since August, either? Well despite the obvious shortcomings of the browser you’re reading my blog with, I’m still going to wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous - especially prosperous, because the way things are looking and unless you’re particularly prone to health and happiness problems, that seems to be the biggie - 2009.
Addendum. Smugness is: being the designated driver on New Year’s Eve, being stopped by the police driving down country lanes, avoiding the main road at 1 a.m. winding the window down and having them wish you a Happy New Year, because you’re patently not even worth breathalysing with so many other targets about.
I’ll take whatever I can get, and will wish you all three in return. Happy New Year!
Well Happy New Year! Nice to know you’re still alive, hopefully with all your parts intact.
Ann,
“Yes, a merry 2009 to one and all” said Tiny Tim (starting to get confused by different holidays now)

I AM still alive thank you very much and my parts are (checks) “Oh my God! My parts! My parts!”
Happy New Year to you sir, parts or no parts.
BiB: It’s probably for the best if I just don’t think about the parts and raise a glass (okay, cup of tea, but it’s the idea that counts) and toast your chosen at random 365 day interval as well sir!
Why, are you off the booze?
Well, there’s been the odd glass or two of sekt, and if port is offered, it’s so rude to refuse, don’t you think? But mostly, when I wrote that message it was 4:50 p.m. now that it’s a quarter to six, it’s time to party, party, party…..
Actually I did go out to Manchester just before Christmas and found myself in a
gutterclub-type thing which was playing the greatest hits of “Me going out to Manchester when I was 18″ - my hair was too short and my jeans were not baggy enough, but the beer was almost 1990 prices (in comparison to London prices) and the next day I did consider reducing consumption somewhat.2008 seems to have been something of a funny year in the world of blog, lots of usually fastidious bloggers have been on long-term hiatus and the odd slack-arsed bastard such as me haven’t got around to doing anything either. Anyway hope you had a guten Rutsch and all that and that you’re back on the sauce, you know no good can come from abstinence, and what would your old comrades in arms in Munich think eh?!
You decided to reduce drinking after a night out in Manchester? Guess you became soft on those trips down south.
