New Years Resolutions

Could I have possibly missed it? Has no one started a thread yet?

Mines the same as last year – to get off my ass and start building my boat!

Have a great one everybody.

Made one some years ago and still manage to stick to it every year without fail!

Made it again this year and no doubt will with a bit of luck standby it!

The resolution? simple really. Vowed never again to make any stupid New Years Resolution that I can't keep!!!

Not so much a genius more a case of getting fed up with failing miserably by midday on the First of January!!

I knew there was a reason why I've not made any disparaging remarks about you of late Wallie. You're absolutely, unquestionably, brilliant. So don't say anything bad or even unfavorable about him Snowball... You'd be wrong. I have torn up my list of New Year's resolutions (easy to do as I never make one) and substituted this one instead.

Trev mate what inspired you to do such a stupid thing, now your British you don't do that sort of thing - we leaves it for the foreigners, especially them wierd South Africans, who actually like working (well some of 'em must! not the ones I've met of course, but someone, somewhere....................

Old habits die hard, Mike. I’m still trying to master throwing a sickie. Last time I told the boss I tripped over the cat, fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle.

He completed the sick form with the “recommendation to avoid further occurrences” section with this comment… Watch out for cats when you’re pissed!

Anyway, I vow to try harder – heaven knows there are dozens of perfect examples around us every day!

Cheers mate! Mind how you go then. See? there are two examples already.

Ps - We still gotta teach you lot how to cook a decent curry though...

Didn't know the Afrikaaner could cook anything, 'cept mealie and spit roast Vildebeest (burnt on one side raw on the other, no one has told ;em you have to turn the spit!)

too much Mainbrace and Van der Humm, ruins the brain, not that..........

No good looking for Fanie he's gone into Largger or is it lager? Fighting off the Zulus somewhere (or chasing little boys with sticks) - weird these Baor Trekkers, mind you to be fair they are bloody good fighters, as long as you don't talk tactics or have to think!
