New Year's Resolutions
Bit of a misnomer, as they never seem to resolve anything, as far as I can make out. Anyway, here's a first bash at my resolutions for 2003 (the thought being that if they're on the internet, I may take them more seriously). 1. Sunday to Thursday, I shall drink only shandy. I am aware that this may cause me to be singled out as, for want of a better phrase, a shandy-drinker, but as the alternative is lemonade on its own, I shall try this and see how it goes. 2. I shall stop making stupid semantic comments. See my first sentence above. 3. I shall do my best to achieve world peace. This may be linked to resolution #1 above. 4. I shall do my exercises before going skiing. This is so that I can actually keep up with Mrs B this year, and hence get my money's worth. The alternative is to spend the whole time in the pub. This would be an attractive proposition were it not for the fact that I would have to drink shandy, and there is only so much shandy a man can drink in one go (cf the legendary shandy pub crawl).
want more?
