2017 is dead, put to rest. No use thinking about. We've got to focus on 2018, a very important year for this forum and country.

Bink all out of artisanal bombs?
Yes, 2018 the year this forum gets strong and stable. I've had enough of being here and want to go home. The in-laws I mean not this place.
Games. PSP little big planet on psppp on my tablet.
TV. The wire on my tablet. (See the sociable pattern there folks) and a wee bit of Jools Holland as they couldn't get BBC England for Chic.
Drink. Some.
Food. Crisps, nuts, habas fritas.
Today I think we're off to a park after lunch.

I couldn't stand any of the actual New Years shows, ended up watching Big Fat Quiz of the Year on Channel 4. Then suddenly realised it was midnight, switched to the Beeb to see the Thames fireworks, before shuffling off to bed.
Thoroughly enjoyed Gang Beasts yesterday though, local co-op is besty.

Other people's children are the absolute worst.
My nephew via marriage just grabbed 4 bits of bacon for his roll. The bacon was finished not long after and he complained there wasn't enough bacon. His mum asked if he didn't get any.
"I only got two bits"
No you got four you lying little shit. Two goes on a pair of tongs isn't two bits when you pick up two pieces at a time. I of course expressed that in a slightly more family friendly way but I still look like the bacon police.
Can you tell I never got any bacon?

Amateur hour at the bacon procurement in your house Tony.
I've just had a bacon roll. Tbf I wasn't involved in the cooking or anything. It was passed to me and I ate it.

Happy new year everyone! Not sure what ten was talking about last night with dark footers, but I'm pretty sure it was racist. Happy New Year, Bloggie! If you are not familiar with the Scottish tradition of first footing here's a handy step-by-step guide. Of course it's racist. If the first footer is a dark male it brings luck in the new year. If he's fair or ginger he's a Viking who's come to raid your house, and that's unlucky. |

Who's your first footer? For us it will probably be a close race between the postman and the milkman. Both are dark, so it should be okay anyway. What about the ragged, emaciated, wild-eyed crone who secretly lives in your attic and eats scraps from your bin when you're asleep? Does she not count as a first-footer? No, because a) the first-footer needs to come in from outside and b) she died a long time ago and is now mummified in the attic. |

Luckily for me the return to the world of work tomorrow won't be that big of a shock as I've been working whilst on 'holiday' for the past five days.
Tent hen - Surely the postman or milkman wouldn't be first footers, unless they actually come into your house? Generally our postman doesn't cross that boundary.
I'm still in premod on the Guardian, but hoping 2018 will Usher in a new era of Keza and chat.

I was only joking, but now I've learnt something (even if it is abit reliant on racist stereotypes as you said) 2018 is off to a cracking start. Although I'm abit confused because most Scottish people are ginger so surely it would work the other way round? Ah well they were probably just drunk when they came up with it. |

I don't think there's anything in this tradition about men who've gone grey. Literally a grey area.

Everyone back to work tomorrow? I am, and in a perverse way I'm looking forward to it.

January is going to be very busy so I'm not looking forward to it much.

In other news, I'm not back at work until Thursday. I'm planning to get back into Elite Dangerous first. (Well done Shenguin, actual games chat there.) |

Got myself a 50 inch tellybox last week, and so far the only games I've played on it are FF7 and Super Mario World.
I'm getting dangerously close to buying skyrim again.

Completing the third shrine of the Champignon Ballast and just died thanks to my trademark mix of stupidity and recklessness. Nothing to see here.
