Turning over a new leaf
From today there are going to be some changes here on this site, and in my life in general.
No more slagging off our government. They are doing their best for the Plain People of Ireland.
No more slagging the EU, WHO, UN or IPCC. They only have all our interests at heart.
No more taking swipes at Tobacco Control. My health is paramount and I shall be quitting the pipe [and alcohol] forthwith.
The Nanny State is really the Caring State and we really need all those laws rules and regulations to help maintain us as good little citizens.
I shall pay all my Irish Water bills plus arrears.
I shall do my duty and duly vote for candidates in the forthcoming elections who promise to look after my interests and the interests of the country as a whole.
From now on this site will be child friendly [we must think of the children] so no more swearing or negative scribbles. From now on I shall only be writing about recipes, fashion and make-up, with the occasional photograph of a cute little kitten.
From now on, I am cleaning up my act.
…
…
I am in my fucking hole.
If you believe any of the above then you're dafter than you look.
Oh! And happy period that apparently commences [for no good reason] ten days after the Winter Solstice!
"If you believe any of the above then you're dafter than you look. "
G.D. you would not believe how daft I look, but I'm pleased to report that I didn't believe a single word of it.
Not one? Not even the bit about giving up the pipe?
Especially the bit about giving up the pipe. Those of us who have been popping in here for some time know you much better than that, GD.
The season of good cheer is over, so now I say: Bad cess to the lot of them. Let normal life resume from 2nd January 2016.
It's always a season of good cheer here. Normal life never stopped.
Well, thank God for that. Business as usual then? THAT'S what we LIKE! Happy New Year.
Of course it's business as usual. What else do you expect? Business as unusual would involve becoming a drone.
And many happy returns.
Keep her lit GD!
Lit and burning.
Somebody might cheer up my new year by solving a little problem. I have a corkscrew embedded in the cork of a bottle of wine, but I can't pull the cork out. It simply won't budge and I am fearful of damaging the arm muscles if I over-try. Any suggestions please?
Anything to oblige –

I was laughing while reading it. I'm glad I read the last part. Have a wonderful 2016!
You too, Brianf.
With all the talk lately about this "Star Wars" thing, I thought for a moment that you had been seduced by the dark side!
I would give up the pipe before that happens.
