Yes it is a great shame but since my peak of fitness (last year in the Army 1988) I have piled on 4.5 stone!!! Not good and this is the year that I plan to lose some of this but it will be hard methinks, on the other front I am not too bad thanks just waiting to see where we go next etc.
Va Va must still be under the influence as he seems to have gone walk about but it has been a tough year on the new thread with some personal attacks and I know he has taken it personally (like myself) how some have revived the other thread instead of debating on here. Enough said but like you say let's hope we have a better year here and can keep it civil all round and I'm sure Va Va will not say no to a bottle of the old Rioja!!
Have a great New Year and pass on my best to Mrs JD also.
