So yesterday i said goodbye to my 22nd (and probably worst) year and hello to my 23rd, and i realised something, new years day isn't the 1st of january, it is the start of your own new year. Mine started with a lie in. It continued with some rubbish presents to see in this new year, an average meal in some italian down near the pantiles in tunbridge wells, and ended with a great look back at spitting image. I also realised yesterday that, seeing as it is pretty much a new year, it is good to see in that new year with some stuff to help you get through it. What did i get? A sunglass clip for my glasses, a keyring with a compass (north is ↑ thataway) and 200 squid. Sure the money would come in useful but i got better stuff for christmas.
I mean i am grateful seeing as there would be plenty of people who get nowt, and i have only myself to blame for not giving any hints (although i wasn't actually asked). It's just that considering i got more than i asked for at chrimbo including a few surprises and then get a bunch of last mnute stuff yesterday, it sucks a fair bit. My mum even decided to nick my glasses so she could find a best fitting pair of clip over sun glasses. I'll head up to town and get what i should have asked for tommorrow, weather and time permitting.
And finally, i really really wish spitting image was coming back. We have a current government which can be made fun of quite easily, an opposition who don't seem sure whether they are for or against something, and a third party who can't be comfortable in who they currently have leading them. It's a comedy goldmine, as already seen in bremner's and dead ringers' episodes.
