Meet the new year - same as the old year

Cricket commentator on Sky Sports this morning wishing everyone a good 2008 – “Let’s hope it’s a peaceful one, and one devoid of disasters”. Well, ay-men to that. Trouble is there hasn’t been a year devoid of disasters since the dawn of time. To be brutally honest, what we mean when we say that is “Let this be a year in which all the disasters are happening to somebody else”.

Early news on the rezzo front: didn’t drink a drop, ate a ton of fruit and went for a brisk walk in the Trough, this time unaccompanied by process servers. Result: fearful acid stomach, couldn’t sleep, and weighed a pound more this morning. Well, heigh-ho.
