I think it's the same dude who has posted under various other names recently. He sent me a bunch of abusive PM's as well (and I'm not a lady...)

I would not be too worried about him. He's a couple cans short of a six-pack with a serious self-esteem issue.

These resolutions are predictable and boring.

I plan to masturbate less and grow a beard. Both are definitely stretch objectives.

Anyone who makes them in an idiot.

That makes me sad. What type of twisted *****er has the time or inclination to do that & then gain enjoyment from it???? Isn't there a 'block' button? I enjoy your posts (along with the other normal (??? lol) regulars.

I wonder if its the chap (or indeed chapess) that had some nasty banter with Norsk on another thread a few gallys back?? Hmmm I'll just do what I normally do and sit on the sidelines, but wish you well and hope these nasty b*ggers go away & you continue to post!!!

NY resolutions for me ....well I gave up a fairly long lived smoking habit in Oct 2011 so I didnt have to bother having that as one for last year .....lasted till Aug 2012 so its firmly on this years list :-( Back on the Champix from next week .....sigh, and yes I'm totally stoooopid!! Weakness around drink & other smokers whilst on hols.

Drink more vodka coloured liquid (water) and less vodka.

Ride the pony more make it fitter.....which in turn (in theory) should make me a bit fitter too.

That's it on the NY resolution front, other than to not make any more NY resolutions!

Wishing you all an achievable and happy new year!

Equestra

Good luck on both accounts ....

What are you going to make "in an idiot"? Having made them, what do they become? Will you be able to sell them on? Are they edible? Is it an idiot you already own or are you going to have to go and buy 1? where do you get 1 from anyway?.

So many questions and only 27 and a half hours before you make whatever you are going to make in the idiot...the excitement of it all darling!!

Why?

Surely New Year's resolutions are a complete waste of time. Why wait until the start of a new year if you think you need to change something in your life?

Of course the majority are, but for a lot of people it might be the nudge to actually do that thing?

A little assumptive - Whats to say they are not just updates on existing objectives... And the principle works on a number of levels, for instance do we not set resolutions in business (strategy, objectives, target, budget). Same principle they're just given a different name and may take place in year with a different New Year (ie April to April)... And yes thay can be adjusted as we go but they are still defined at the start of the period.

To me its just about setting an objective and giving myself a timeline to achieve it against, the turning of the year just makes a memorable benchmark...

Patsy Stoned

Well..... That's me done then

I see it as more psychological - start of a new year, fresh start, being optimistic etc...

That said I never really bother. The two I'd like to stick to for 2013 are:

1. Give up smoking (unlikely as I enjoy it too much).
2. Stop watching Geordie Shore (a good chance of success given the utter shite coming out of the last series).

Ah yes........... which is why I have always been puzzled by the fact that the Private Message functions include a 'Forward' button...........

Eat like a horse, train like a beast and sleep like a baby - so basically no change from 2012

Happy New to everyone ..
