Happy New Year to all of you. Thank you so much for all your love, prayers and support through these past few months. So glad this year is done. A brand new start tomorrow! Joined the gym yesterday so plan to get fit and healthy again.
Les Mis was fantastic and I highly recommend a visit to the show!
Love to you all across the globe. May next year give you peace, health love and happiness.
FOUR AM? Holy Cow. I would be quiet today too...probably tomorrow as well. Oh girl...it's impressive. So glad you are excited about a healthy New Year! Cannot tell you how thankful I have been hearing each new post. Glad the chest thing is behind you and I am wishing you and yours a VERY Happy New Year.
EDIT: [chest thing meaning the chest cold you had - although - the other can apply hre as well - just thought after posting the chest thing sounded a little flippant. Know I do NOT think that was a small thing at all. Hugs to you hun. ]
Izzie - thoughts have been with you on and off all day hun. Hope all is well there. Love you so much. I know I am often pre-occupied. No good excuse - except life. But you should know I think of you every day! ((Izzie))

Ho! Ho! Ho!...Well wishes from the back of the wardrobe. I just got in and naturally my first thoughts were to say hi to my friends, so having waved at the goldfish, who by the way have learned to float upside down, I ask:
Apart from Thanksgiving, four birthdays, Christmas, New Year, Izzie's bionic legs, FQ's remarkable recovery, Brooke's sad loss, Stormy's lack of snow, Tulip's snow shovelling, Jemima Penelope Berkowitz (JPB) Tai Chi and Bethie for such kind words of support and advice to help others, CI's use of the OZ vernacular, McTag's BIG bones, Margo's world tour and subsequent disappointment at the cricket result, Roberta who lights up my day, Barry and Rocky's encyclopaedic knowledge of music, O'Bill for being a nice guy, Ould Lang Syne who nay forgot, Verby on a diet, Alex's superb motorbike, Dutchy's excess indulgence and Missy's cheeky derrière, did I miss anything?

I see we have some new crew, although I have to say from the get go that Osso may hate me because of the time I held up the downtown Post Office!
True, I was going through the door when it suffered a revolving malfunction and the guy behind shouted, "Get your fat ass outta here you 300 pound hillbilly". I was like, What!
The last time I was that slim I was in the 6th grade. Anyhoo, as anyone born west of the Pecos would know; my ass was in fact a mule.
As for Tsar, we have a history going back to Georges Méliès Le Voyage dans la Lune. Seriously, I just can't keep up with the guy, it's not like I'm Col Needham. The last movie I saw was Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill Jr.
However to placate sweet Roberta and melt the ice I am willing to put history in the past and if he ever makes it to Hollywood buy him a snack in the Village Pizzeria ( Menu: homemade meatballs, homemade sausage, pepperoni, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and olives.) and discuss the forthcoming movie Battle: Los Angeles . Yup, that will be healthier than a nicotine laden peace pipe.
Now Spendius is a different kettle of fish; an English version of Vegemite, like him or loathe him he is good for you, well read and a master of his craft. One can only surmise what favors he was promised to have lured him from his regular haunts!
Did anyone save me some leftovers? But I hate cold turkey, what with all the hallucinations and whatnot, although I am quite partial to an omelette á la norvégienne.
I'm always being accused of being too serious, so I have resolved to lighten up this year and plan a dissertation on whether Guardian Angels do in fact exist. Before you quote Maria Gemma Umberta Pia Galgani, I have to say I am somewhat sceptical of her claims but there are many more recorded instances, so what do y'all think?
Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid, do you still discuss things with yourself, do you believe?
All replies will be treated with grace and favor. Thank you Niccolo Machiavelli, who wrote of advisors who 'ministri per grazia e concessione’.
So many questions, so little time...gotta go unpack and call the dhobi wallah.
Layter dudes.
Which reminds me of Isaiah 11:6,7: The wolf shall lay with the lamb...
What the hell, I'll take a gambol!

I was promised fascinating philosophical debates with an international crew of intellectual discontents and lonesome computer geeks. Which I resisted quite easily for two winters. The dark nights and cold days are almost dead in my line of work and two of my gophers got a computer apiece to while away the time. Obviously I thought the thing ridiculous. As bad as being in a jet liner over the ocean at 500 mph. You can hardly get yourself in many more ridiculous situations than that.
What they were on was as daft as it is on this thread although not as classy. I thought women were all in a permanent catfight. What a revelation to find them here sympathising and empathising with complete strangers and gushing understanding and compassion for them.
But that's bye the by. Eventually, after two winters and a third one starting, they found me a site they claimed would interest me. Able To Know. They dragged a username out of me. I had recently read Salammbo for the third time and Flaubert's hero came to mind and the name of our tom-cat, sadly run over in the spring rush the following year, sufficed for the ********. They logged me in. I followed the simple instructions and the rest is there for all to read. I wouldn't have lasted a week but for Lola. A sophisticated lady no less. An alpha female. A challenge. Was she not "just like all the rest" as Dylan said she should be? In order to be blessed I mean. I did wish her blessed. And I hope she is now.
She got me started. I couldn't believe the idiotic shite I was reading. This was how to get to know the real America. Resistance analysis. What the people think. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers notwithstanding.
TRY again!!! is there a course i can do to fully understand your message? i need to get a degree for it i guess
you go to the dhobi wallah? here or there in the us of a?
HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all
its been a while since i saw the captain! miss you...hope to catch up soon!
Morning tryagain and spendius it is always a pleasure to read your thoughtful and elequent pieces. Why lead the life of a hillbilly when you could be a famous writer tryagain? Same goes for you spendi, instead of wasting your time drinking pints at your local pub, you could easily be the leading writer for the Guardian!
Somehow I have a feeling mismi will butt in soon seeing that her 'derriere' is mentioned, she is very sensitive of that piece of equipment, you should know that tryagain! I'm not game to mention it anymore and thought it is only fair I should warn you.
Happy New Year to you tooverbivore, you look wonderful on your latest photos, no sign of having eaten to many chocolates.
Holidays are over downunder so today its back to normal living, hope everybody had a good time. Waves from Terra Australis.

With interest piqued by that TV documentary programme with Matt Lucas, and encouraged by generally positive opinions here and elsewhere, I decided to treat myself to a New Year present and ordered the DVD of the anniversary (O2) show from Amazon.
