Apologies if posted bfore. Typically, around this time of the year, there are the round-up articles; that is the ones that deal with the past year. I've latched onto the BBC Magazine's own article about what was learned in 2015 that wasn't known before. In fact, they came up with 100 things. I went to it merely to find out what is supposed to be the best time to drink coffee, as found from recent research [within one hour after waking up, whatever the time]. I ended up going to various follow-on articles, but of course, some headlines dragged me quicker than others. Inevitably, the news that USA toddlers shoot one person per week on average, had to be investigated: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...shot-by-toddlers-on-a-weekly-basis-this-year/ Other no less staggering facts can be followed on from the BBC Magazine article itself: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35132976
Ah, Internet news reporting. They'd never get away with it in print: http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/30/manchester-police-look-for-cyclist-in-lycra-with-an-erection-5592267/
I saw that. Scary. And now this ........ http://news.sky.com/story/1614439/mum-kills-daughter-thinking-she-was-intruder Of course, if there were more guns, people would be safer ........
EDIT: Posted a link to a tweet that was taken down. Tower Bridge tweeted (?!) at midnight to wish a Happy New Year. Someone didn't schedule their tweet properly...
Anyone here get a honour in the New Year's Honours list? Frans Little Camera, Godders, Second Stain, Chilco. Surely someone here has got one. Everyone here must be more deserving that those given to the politicians.
The very lovely Mrs Godders deserves one for putting up with me for all these years. Her ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. She has brought in a plastic chair from the summer house so that I can sit on it while showering which means I can now wash my feet. It is a bit difficult to scrub the old backside though. My feet no longer smell but I think I may have to cut a hole in the seat of the chair otherwise I could smell in a more unpleasant way. What I really want to know though is how can you manage to put on 6lbs in a week and how do you take it off again?
Well, yes, but shooting through a closed bathroom door without checking your girlfriend is still in bed is a pretty dumb thing to do in my opinion. Funnily enough, I found an autographed picture of him the other day when sorting stuff out. I met him at a charity bash in SA - seemed quite a nice, humble kind of guy, but (as my ex-wives would testify) you can't judge someone by just meeting them .....
It never fails to amaze me how they seem to miss me in the honors system. I mean I keep the treasury ticking over with the tax I pay on alcohol, I seem to keep various women in my life happy in their expensive habits, I always vote (though I reserve the right to vote Monster Raving Loony if I wish) and I support the best football team in England. But they still miss me out. Perhaps if I ripped off the taxpayers in a banking type of way, made a fortune off the back of low paid workers or just bummed around parliament for years and years I would be recognized .........
Right, well before it all gets bonkers and Black gets too drunk, just a swift one from me to wish my extended Saints family a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year for 2016!
Yeah, Happy New Year all Saints not606ers (and Meowth and Lapras), I've got a feeling that 2016 will be a good one for all of us!...
Terrible really. It's a big residential unit so hope people are okay, especially Saint In Dubai of course.
while I'm still coherent: Happy NY to everyone, I love you all, you're all Saints fans and you're all too intelligent to be the obnoxious Northam bloke I usually stand next too x x x
This was the best moment of 2015. Just watch the video, listen to the PA and then take in the crowd's reaction. Glorious. And it happened at Fratton Park. Dear oh dear...
