Everybody Partys on a New Year’s Eve
Waitin’ for the countdown
Make alot of promises they never keep
Party with the lights on
Standing still, dressed to kill, holding a glass of champagne
Everyone having fun tryin’ to get out of there brain
Off to the Woolie tonight (with camera) for karaoke and fancy dress…am sure the pics will be posted soon into the new year, unlike the ones from last year which are still on my phone!
Whatever you’re all doing and where ever you’re all going, I hope you have fun 
Was going to do another end of year review as I did last year, but to be honest I hate self reflectiony things when they’re forced on me at work, so am not going to do one at home
But just for the record, best gig for this year has to be Styx, not sure about best film, and best book has to be Da Vinci Code. Oh and the award for song stuck in my head for the longest period of time would go to ‘bad day’, so there you have it…2005 in 2 paragraphs 
1/ I managed a semi clear conversation with Nic this am, just not clear enough for her to not realise she’d woken me up
2/ Most people came into work complaining they had to scrape ice of the car….on the way home I had to scrape ice off the saddle!
3/ Chris Turner resigned – seeing as yesterday we were slaughtered by Macc and we were chanting ‘we want Palmer back’, tis hardly surprising, but woulda still given him another day….
Pics from the day’s madness are now on the gallery… click on Nan to go there..quotes from the day include:
Helen when opening the present I sent her…opens the box, balloon floats out, Helen looks deeper into the box and says ‘where are my flowers’
Everyone at table to Nan: ‘have another glass of wine, it’s good for your throat’
Grandad: opens first present ‘aha’
opens seconds present ‘hmm’
opens third present (chocolate) ‘that’s more like it’
Bah Humbug and other festive greetings to all

You Are Dancer
|
Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance.
Why You’re Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa’s private dancer.
Why You’re Nice: You’re friendly. Very friendly.

This Christmas Eve
Hang up your guns
This Christmas Eve
Aim with your heart
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There’s a child inside of us
There’s a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This Christmas Eve
Don’t forget to track Santa’s journey…
Follow the exploits of the four Pevensie siblings–Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter–in World War II England who enter the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of ‘hide and seek’ in the rural country home of an elderly professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs, and giants that has become a world cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance of a noble and mystical ruler, the lion Aslan, the children fight to overcome the White Witch’s powerful hold over Narnia in a spectacular, climactic battle that will free Narnia from Jadis’ icy spell forever.
Was impressed with this one, the only part that spoiled it for me was the number of kids in the cinema. I know Narnia is a children’s story, but the film isn’t for under 8 year olds and the sound of kids crying because they’re scared really ruins it for everyone else.
Kyle Pratt is a frantic but fiercely intelligent mother whose deepest protective instincts will be triggered by a haunting in-flight nightmare: in the middle of the trans-Atlantic trip, her young daughter turns up missing without a trace. Or does she? Kyle arrives on the flight still reeling from the recent loss of her husband, a woman who has gone mad with grief or a formidably determined mother whose child is in grave danger that threatens the entire plane? Adding to the growing mystery is the fact that the name of Kyle’s daughter doesn’t even appear on the flight manifest. Furthermore, neither of the flight attendants can remember seeing the child on the plane? Adding to the growing mystery is the fact that the name of Kyle’s daughter doesn’t even appear on the flight manifest. Furthermore, neither of the flight attendants can remember seeing the child on the plane. While Captain Rich and Air Marshal Gene Carson don’t want to doubt Kyle’s insistent claim that her daughter has vanished, all evidence points to the fact that Kyle’s little girl was never on board. What is the truth behind Kyle Pratt’s distress? Who on board can be trusted? And just how far will Kyle have to go to get to the bottom of the harrowing mystery? As paranoia and doubt mount among the passengers, Kyle is confronted with some of the most unsettling fears a mother could ever face–losing her child, having her very reality questioned and being trapped in a situation where no one can seem to help. Pushed to the edge and fighting for her sanity, Kyle finds herself willing to go to unimaginable lengths to save her daughter.
Not sure about this one – certainly not the ending I was expecting, although should have seen the twist coming, bit slow in places and no real tension, but watchable – 6/10
From bbc news:
Watchdog Icstis has ordered MBlox, the service provider behind the (crazy frog) ringtone, to refund the 338 people who complained directly to it.
But it is confident that others affected by the service will also get a goodwill refund as long as they can provide the appropriate evidence.
MBlox has also been fined £40,000.
