Off to dinner with some friends at 7.30pm - then to the 10pm fireworks in Wollongong... and then back home. Dont think I will make it to midnight. My news years resolution is to go to bed earlier! Want to start off on a good note...

Re: Happy New Year !

I was going to have a blinder on the Palm Jumeriah however the Sheik has banned all festivities!

Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has ordered the cancellation of all forms of celebrations marking the New Year in Dubai emirate, as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Gulfnews

Won't say too much or this site may get blacklisted from the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Internet Filtering!

Don't know about what happened initially but nothing in the last few years. Music and boozing was banned for a month when a former Sheik died.

Just about to go to "work" myself .... You still beating the "skins" Chops ??
Sometimes hard sitting back and watching others do it eh? I'm nearly too old for it but what the heck ....

Ps No hard feelings on the ADI thread ... you have been right so far .... (worse luck )

Have a good one....

Cheers.

Yeah, been jamming with a mate for some time now. Finally got to a stage where I was happy with what I was playing.

I'll have a beer or three on your behalf.

Well... maybe you might be drinking on the job.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

Have a safe one, all posters on ASF.

I'm off to join in the festivities.

You are a great bunch of people.

Im at work, but I dont mind. Public Holiday rates are great!

I was at my g/f's familes place earlier and enjoyed it.

Oh, and the last time I had a drop of alcohol was last year's New Year's Eve.

 

[CanOz]

Happy New Year everybody! May you all prosper with abundance in the new year.

Cheers,

Happy New Year everyone

Happy New Year all.

Still New Years Eve day here, so no festivities yet.

My brother is celebrating with a new healthy baby, arrived New Years Eve.

 

[Whiskers]

Well, it's another new year started a tad on the hot side here and threatening more rain... but that's all good.

Happy new year all and make the most of the hand we're dealt.

It's still New Year' Eve here and penned this rubbish before I go and blow away some brain cells.

Oh eight has passed by, that year is now gone
We'll see the new one in with that ridiculous song
But I've always wondered who was Lang Syne of Auld
I find that it's not a person but Scottish for "days of old"

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
I suggest we remember and reflect, how our lives have entwined
For though we look forward, to the next year anew
A new years resolution to swear, bidding the old one adieu

It's the old year that shapes, how we look to the future
The resolution we make, is a bad habit to censure
And while we forgive ourselves, of those terrible deeds
We need to forgive others, and find ourselves freed

It's still a beautiful place, this world where we live
The key to it's appreciation, the ability to forgive
Storing anxiety and hate, past the strike of midnight
Is most assuredly the best way, to perpetuate your blight

We are all more alike, than we care to concede
We all love our children, our blood red when we bleed
Its only religion and politics, for whose sins we commit
Lennon "Imagined" the same, "War Is Over" if you want it

So on this night when we celebrate, the turn of the year
And with our friends and family, drink way too much beer
Spare a thought for our foes, if we can even remember
And make the new year a good one, all the way to December

So Happy New Year to all my friends on the net
A good life is out there to go out there and to get
May your days be exceedingly merry in two thousand and nine
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet, for days of auld lang syne.

Happy New Year

One can only hope the New Year is as good as your verse, ye olde bard-star'd!

HAVE A GOOD ONE ALL!
