Happy New Year
- 30 December 2008 18:5311707Traditions to bring good luck in the New Year come from all corners of the world.
The first words you hear in the minutes of the New Year will set the precedence for the entire year. So remember to say something positive!
A tall, dark handsome man crossing the threshold is a sign of good luck, but if the first person to enter the house is a red headed woman the year ahead is said to be full of stress!
Holding a piece of silver or gold as the New Year begins is said to increase the chances of prosperity in the coming year.
Eating a ring donut on new years day represent life going full circle and the new year beginning, or the healthy option of eating 12 grapes, one for each month predict a lucky year in Latin countries.
On New Years Eve guests should enter through the front door and leave via the back.
Wear red underwear on New Years Eve to bring good luck.
Ring a bell a minute after midnight if your family heritage includes Celtic roots to ensure good luck.
And finally, raise a glass and toast to health, happiness and success in the year ahead!

i find it easier to just go on as before, but try to improve my general behaviour.
trouble is, when it is cold and dark, like it is this part of the year, i lose impetus. - 31 December 2008 09:0311740Have you seen a Doctor Howard ? losing impetus can seriously affect your lifestyle !!

- 31 December 2008 18:1211759Marek I was talking to 2 very charming ladies today who will remain nameless(your wife and daughter) and your daughter was telling me about this diet,and I was most impressed when your daughter told me you were going to lose 2 TONNES
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 31 December 2008 22:4211782JHG

You and the other marshals were excellent today guiding the band through Dover.Well done.Due to injuries sustained in the line of duty I had to sit outside the Prince Albert and take the local waters.Marek
