2017 was a pretty good year for us. Everybody healthy, business did good, became a grandpa. Hope 2018 is just as good or even better.

Watched the Bond film, Spectre. It was on TeeVee. The one with the Aston Marten DB10 in it... which was in it for about 10 mins in total, and then Bond parked it at the bottom of a river. What a waste.
This last year has not been all that pleasant for many of my friends, and will be the year the Dragon retired. So the roads may be a bit safer these days?.. NOT!... I now have all the time to do all the things I wanted to do, but, the bugger is, I dont have the health to do them anyway, so.....
2018, come on, show us what you got, but keep it pleasant.
My Wish list for the year. All my friends on here to have a peaceful year and take time to renew old friendships that may have been ignored... you never can have too many friends can you?.
The silly gits at europe to get their fingers out their backsides and realise if they dont give UK a fair trade deal we can go elsewhere, the only people who will get hurt is the people banking on making money out of the trade deal, and we dont mind them getting their backsides handed to them. After all, "Made in phrance" means exactly what?. you may need to buy a new one sooner than you planned?.
I wish Economic Migrants all the best luck in the world, but, let it be known, his country is full now, its standing room only, and even patches of pavement to sleep on in LOdon are hot property right now.
I wish all the twits at Daesh a merry christmass, because I just know it will annoy them to be reminded there is more than one religion in the world, and I wish them an early FAILURE this year, your days are numbered, and for those who went over there to fight for them from our shores, no, we dont "want you back" if you think you can run home to europe with your tail between your legs after you finished playing war games with the big boys, we want you dead, because we have finished trying to be nice now.
I wish an end to political correctness. ALL lives matter, and if you wish to make a racist remark at that, then thats your problem, and perhaps your life dont matter as much as you think if you just want to pick a fight over who matters more than anyone else. That goes to both sides, ALL lives matter, end of statement, there is no argument.
I think what I am trying to say, is I want world peace, and dont mind kicking a few backsides to get that. As a Father, I know, Kids dont always do as they are told, and part of earning respect is the fear of what comes by disrespect. Lack of toys, two hours on the naughty step staring at the wall, and taking away the internet, even for my post-teenagers, the threat of that can get some sense?. So perhaps taking away all internet coverage from Syria would be a good move right now.?.
As for my own plans, I have a Kitchen that needs putting back together, we had friends over for Lunch, we tidied up the food, cleaned what needed to be cleaned, but there is still a pile of freshly washed pots on the freshly cleaned cooker that need to go back in the cupboards, and after that, I aint planning anything at all for a day or two whilst we recover.
By the way. New years evening. At the strike of midnight, for what was around 12 mins, and EXTREMELY loud and bright firework display lit up the skies of london... Anyone catch that?. And here we are being led to believe they are skint?. So who paid for all that lot?. Now I dont want to spoil the celebrations, but, maybe 9 mins and feed every single homeless person in Greater London, and I would bet a lot of people watching would have left with a slightly warmer feeling.
Dragon Towers, we invited a couple of people who we know would have been alone for new years without an invite, because they are friends, and thats the way we roll, and we would have invited a whole lot more if we could have fitted them in as well, and a bloody good time was had by all, now all I need is a slight hibernation to sleep off the hangover?.
