hooray, it's 2013...

Dear diablog,

In a recent exchange of Comments it has become clear that both Pete and Engine Room, but primarily Pete, are violently anti any form of 'Cheeriness'.

So for them in particular, in a spirit of co operation, I post a very cheery song for the New Year

which I hope vexes them greatly with its optimism. Yaboosucks!

Personally I am looking forward to the year as all eternal optimists do. I wish all our readers, contributors, comment makers and general hangers on a very




which I genuinely hope brings you all you could wish.

New Year resolutions are always challenging as I guess most are made in haste and then repented upon at leisure. Apparently, according to Philipa


there are some things to which I must turn my attentions in 2013.
It would appear, according to Philipa, that having noted exchanges of comments between me and Iren



with which she fully agrees, it is apparently patently obvious that I need urgent help...




...in the art of understanding women. She has been so frustrated at my clumsy blunderings she has sent me the latest volume on the subject



and expects me to have memorised it before Iren next comments. Lawks'a mussy!

In reality my New Year wish list is far simpler - and probably easier to attain!

Top of the list is the purchase of an Alfa Romeo GTA  - I would even go for a GTAm (fat chance of one in my budget!) but then hope, as I said before, springs eternal. Who wouldn't want one of these!

Brilliant, roll back the years! Mme and I might actually get the chance to be

Oh well, back to reality - and the book!

I am not sure that you would actually fit into an ALFA T33 but dream on.
Best Wishes for 2013 and hopefully Mme Glynskette will make a speedy recovery.

Thanks Smiles, that nis much appreciated and she sends her love.
Sadly, I don't think she will make the Wuss party in Vienna - but .....

nis?? oooer - is!
Aaaah it is New Year's Day.

Smiles said...

She will be sorely missed by all and nobody will keep you under control.
When are you arriving? Are you being organised by Wuss or can I take you out for nice lunch or dinner?

Canned Heat almost makes up for the horrible humpa music above.

I was close to send in the killing team after that.

Dear Mr ER
Please give me one good reason why you did not "send in the killing team'?
