Yeah, 2006 does seem to have been a fairly rubbish one generally. What was particularly infuriating about it for me was that it got off to a great start, was promising to become a properly brilliant year, and then just went comprehensively, perversely, and almost gleefully wonky.

Exclamation marks. Not very manly, are they? I bet Hemingway didn’t use them. I think I once heard somewhere that Graham Greene hated them too. So yeah: Death to exclamation marks!!

yeah, seems 2006 was shit for everyone i know. here`s hoping 2007 offers something better!

less exclamation marks… that`s a great one, i might adopt it myself.

Hello Stuart! And a Happy New Year to you too. How’s Jersey been so far? Oh, and Australia… hope you had a good time there, too! It doesn’t seem fair racing against your suitcase, though. Did it really stand a chance?

Happy new year Nick (and indirectly Andrew)
I hope you had a good Christmas.
I have good feelings about 2007 and I too would like to reduce by carbon footprint.
So far in 2007 I have managed to return to Jersey – which I did much quicker than my suitcase…

Those resolutions sound like good ones. I too am wary of 2007, Mr. Mark, but it’s nice to have a new, blank stretch of time to play with. I certainly hope you get your band back on its feet again, because I have yet to see one of your famous live performances.

Yes, see you soon I hope.

Mr. Andrew: ‘Have a beer’ is a particularly admirable resolution. Good luck with that one.
