I hope you all have a good time tonight.
For me, New Year's Eve is all done and dusted and it is time to get on with 2009.
I am now living in the future
The irony in that statement has really tickled me.

It's usually a ticket-only thing - they only have a doorman at New Year, so he doesn't know who to let in.
This year, rather than going to all the trouble of issuing tickets, they've adopted the simple policy that if you know the landlord's name, you must be a regular and you get in.
I waited until closing time last night to point out that the doorman will be standing beneath a sign with the landlord's name on it

Evening all...

I've eaten too much chocolate, too many brazil nuts, too many raisons, and too many dates.

And to cap it all, one of the dates had a long black hair stuck to it.

It was rather less interesting than that; apparently it was stolen by the Romans.Originally posted by NickFitz View Post
I haven't seen it, but I can imagine...
"Didn't there used to be three of 'em?"
"You might be right... The big one's still there, anyway."
"Even so..."
"Here, pass us one of those tourist brochures - I think they've got a photo on them."
