It is on the news that because of the credit crunch 70% of people are staying in tonight.
I was going to go to the city to watch the fireworks and enjoy myself in some night clubs but now I have read this happy credit crunch news item I have realised the error of my ways and will stay in instead.

Happy New Year, dear Boarders! I hope you have a happy and healthy 2010 
Happy New Year everyone!
Just done the usual garbled song that no-one quite remembers the words to while watchig Big Ben bong and the fireworks on the Eye.
A very good 2010 to one and all, happy, healthy, and with a large lottery win for those that need one 

Happy New Year to you all 
Happy New Years Eve!
[we stayed home, had Mexican food like the good Texans we are, and figgy pudding and sang Auld Lang Syne.]
