Happy New Year

Bollocks to it.

Why celebrate the end of one crappy year, just to start another one?

If there is something in your life that's shit on December 31st, it sure as hell is still going to be shit on January 1st. Compounded by the massive fecking hangover.

Looking at the news, it looks like New Year has been cancelled in this country because of bad weather. That's countless millions of our money pissed up a wall on fireworks, PA systems and dodgy "performance artists" - bet that little lot wasn't privately financed.

So, what's it all about? It's amateur night, when all the once a year drinkers turn New Years Eve into an alcohol soaked freak show.

You've got to feel sorry for the emergency services who have to a) work whilst everyone else is out "enjoying themselves" and b) who have far more important things to do than nick/stitch back together legions of pissed up idiots.

At least we get a day off work.
