Mick in Oz - you must be nearly there already? At GMT +3, I'll be popping the champers at 9 o'clock your time. Any advance?
it's not too bad....... ..... -8 and getting warmer unfortunately, which will mean rivers of black sludge running down the street by Monday. Only got back from the UK on Thursday, apparently Wednesday was -18, which could bite!
The nine pm fireworks just went off at the Bridge I had to distract the dog. i'm a-bed before midnight though.... i'm gonna listen to the hudds match at two. Tonga Tyke and Samoa Tyke will get the day before me..
do they...... .....celebrate our New Year or Chinese New Year there? My mate is in Shanghai and I think things are quite low-key there. The year of the dog starts on the 29th Jan I believe.
RE: The nine pm fireworks just went off at the Bridge all the best for the new year mick, hope you enjoyed your calender !!

RE: eyup, buddy Get your tickets early for the Ashes series. It will be a sellout everywhere. Already there is very little hotel accomodation left in all cities when the matches are on. It is going to 'massive' (sorry)
