With due thanks to my friend Gill Gough for passing this on to me:
New Year Greetings
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Britain great. Not to imply that Britain is necessarily greater than any other country. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the recipient.
True friends stab you in the front.

That`s the most politically correct speech I`ve ever heard.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

Three words, dear Fairy. Solarism, seasonism, holisticism.
Happy New Year!
All the very best to everyone

Just to wish everyone on here the very best for 2010, it`s been great conversing on here with you all. Thanks alot PaulB, and this is certainly the place to try and get things sorted, so many people with the same ambitions. When I found this site, I joined up to slag off and ridicule Dover for what`s happened to it over the years, but of course now, I realise there are other`s who care, so one of my resolutions for the coming year, is to be more positive rather than negative, and hopefully, bring to everyone`s attention anything that might be of interest. Thank you again, and a happy new year to you all. Please note, I`m never offended, so if my can of beans drive you up the wall, I shall remove them.

Sue - sympathies. I have had tinnitus for years and am mildly hearing impaired and it can be annoying!!! I also feel that, for me, 2008/09 have been my own anni horribilli but 2010 looks set to be better. Here's hoping. And I will raise a glass to you today. (Never "do" New year - seems pointless - but the excuse for a glass of something gorgeous and fizzy on 1st January seems a shame to miss!!). HNY!!

Bern I dont do New Year either .I think its for the young people .I also believe it can be very false .I love Christmas and I am a believer and all the religion of a true Christmas My way of thinking is to try and be nice all the year not just on New Years Day
I did have my traditional Whiskey Mac last night and I watched the repeat of the tribute to The Carpenters

Sorry to hear about your hearing problems Sue, I know what you mean about the deafness as I am stone deaf in one ear.....ay,what.
My doctor told me my sciatica would go eventually but I have had it for three months now.
Didn't even have a drink last night but tonight might open a bottle of Metaxa that we brought home from Greece three years ago.
Happy New year to everyone on the forum especially PaulB and Howard for making it all happen.
