ONLY A FEW DAYS INTO THE NEW DECADE AND I'M SITTING SURROUNDED BY THE BROKEN REMAINS OF MY NEW YEAR/DECADE RESOLUTIONS.....

Yep!...I'm back, its only been a decade since last we spoke, so you probably haven't even noticed my absence as you recover from the festive session of sinful debauchery and overindulgence I'm proud of you, my children. So, as all you fellahs have got to squeeze all the new socks n' undies in to the bulging drawers full of socks n' undies from last year. And you ladies steal some more of that precious cupboard space for all them nice trendy cloths you got. Women never get knickers n' tights, no, they get nice things like cloths n' jewellery. Ah, such is the mans lot, be it the festive season or not ,to suffer to keep our ladies happy.
Christmas is a lazy slobby time of year ,sitting stuffing your face with food drink and sweeties. I doubt many of you have even set foot outside into the frost, snow and cold in over a fortnight.With about 4 stone in weight added to your fine physiques ,its not just the cloths getting tighter, but there doesn't seem to be as much room on the setee either. A strange thing happens, you get a little restless watching the telly and being warm and cosy all the time. Your watching festive films busting with endlessly repeated adventure and excitment; joy and happiness beamed through the flattened cathode ray tube. And tear-jerking things like Noel Edmonds christmas present All these things build you up ,ready for that annual total waste of time ,The NEW YEAR RESOLUTION!!!!!... The films, etc make you decide."Right ,this year, i'm going to make this year as full and exciting and as enjoyable as i can!".......And Noel Edmunds will have you in tears, swearing blind that you are going to help charity , the poor and needy and you are there to help your fellow man. This one ,thankfully, lasts only a very short period, possibly 10 minutes or so.....Wipe the tear away, put the kettle on and watch HOLIDAY ON THE BUSES, or something. That'll bring you back to Earth. The resolution to have a 'whizz-bang exciting year', may take a little longer. This includes taking care of yourself; Going to the gymn;Packing in the fags; Laying off the pop, etc.....But, you swear to all the gods you follow 2010 will not be spent and wasted, sitting around and allowed to grind by, like most others.........
Its the first monday of the new year/decade and i'm sitting watching the telly with a mug of tea, haven't gone to the gymn, took the dog out,done any reading( Spiderman on the bog doesn't count ,i don't suppose?)......Not a lot of effort gone into the first few days, but theres plenty of time....Isn't there?

Friggin freezin on site today...my extra Christmas padding came in useful, in fact an extra mince pie or two may have been in order.

The site must be a wonderful place to be ,at the moment. I'm waiting to get a lift up to that boozer where everybody gets locked in for a fortnight every time it snows, pack a suitcase and we'll go for a pint.

I made a New Year's Resolution to make a New Year's Resolution. But I haven't got round to it yet. As you say, there's plenty of time.

I've just been to the gym. My back's killing me ...

Are you telling me you go to the gymn even when its not just past the guilty new year resolution phase.....I thought your beauty and lovlieness was natural, not worked at!!!!

Ah ... Timbo ... there was a time when my shape required that I do nothing other than eat, sleep and be merry. However, thirty years down the line, the shape is largely unaltered but the background activity to keep it that way has changed beyond all recognition ... you'll be finding all his out for yourself soon.

Jeez!...The missus the Lovely Lynne has definitly got it in for me today, i read out your last message ,to which she laughed and turned to walk away saying "Ha, hasn't she seen you lately?", i'm sure i've no idea what she means ...Do you know any good(cheap) divorce lawyers.
