Yeah, where is @brianN? Is he just lurking until we acknowledge we are missing him?

Thank you @hunnybunny.

Things to do don’t all have to be chores. Write some good ones and some that need doing. Put them in a hat and draw them at random. Well, it’s a thought anyway.

Thankyou @karen68.

For the record (and I feel I need to make this clear) I am going to learn Welsh, learn to play the piano and write a book as well as walk virtually from Mexico to Canada.

This is a higher bar than calling Luke Littler an athlete.

Thankyou @catsnbirds.

For the record (and feel I need to make this clear) Twiggy’s actual father is Karesu Born Achiever.

I was just wondering about New Year Resolutions and how many have been broken already. I wasn’t necessarily looking at you @hunnybunny.

5th Jan @hunnybunny.

Miss January from my 2025 Twiggy calendar!

We know you’re pacing yourself for tomorrow @ixan57.  Just lay off the hedge hopping.

Santa’s not real?

And the booths are imaginary?

Not sure I can take any more.

Happy New Year everyone!

Haha @hunnybunny, Steely Dan was the music question in UC tonight. They hadn’t got a clue, numpties.

Just watched the 2025 New Year firework display from Sydney, Australia. About as spectacular a display as I have ever seen. Then they showed the one from Auckland, New Zealand. It was like some kid waving a sparkler in comparison.

Twiggy and I completed our 2024 challenge of walking the length of the Appalachian Trail before year’s end. I did 2200 miles. She must have done well over 2500 miles. We had 2 days to spare.

She can have a day off.

George is French???

Nothing in the UK where technically it only counts (as you can place bets) if the snow falls on the 25th. So we could have 6 foot drifts, blue sky, and it wouldn’t qualify. Or you could have a single flake and it would qualify.

How many people had a white Christmas where they were?

Well you are several hours behind @karen68, so we’ll let you off. Good to hear from you. But do try harder next year!

Spoiler

I died laughing at the canal boat chase with the dog on the towpath overtaking them.

W&G hasn’t lost it.

I’m totally quizzed out already. And it’s only Tuesday. Do we get Wednesday off? We are not going traditional this year. SAUSAGES for Xmas dinner.  We shall be on Bangor pier with Twiggy, taking in some bracing sea air and getting ready for W&G. Everyone have a good time, sausages or not!

@hunnybunny, more live volcano action for you.
