'Most people worry about what they eat between Christmas and New Years, when they should actually worry about what they eat between New Years and Christmas'.


The new years festivities are over. The liver is back to functioning at normal levels, the champagne glasses neatly stored in the kitchen cupboards and the rolls of streamers tucked away until the next cause for celebration erects itself. As we drift back into routine and a working week, we are so frequently hit with the question of new years resolutions that small bruises are starting to form. It is the ultimate in smalltalk, post-festiveseason. My question is, are new years resolutions really necessary? They provide us with a sense of hope and potential, filling our hearts with the future possibility of true happiness, love and success. We tell our colleagues, our friends, our family; 'This is the year I [quit smoking/stop drinking/lose weight/find a better job/find a better boyfriend/find God/dye my hair green etc.]', but come mid-January, I see only the pressure of these goals we get from ourselves, our friends, our family and our colleagues coming down on us when asked 'So have you [quit smoking/met sobriety/stopped eating cake for breakfast/quit your job/dumped him/been to church/found a stylist] yet?'. Do you feel pressured? Have you started on your goals yet? I say ditch the new years resolutions and focus on a balanced all-year round approach to achieving your goals.http://www.postalgold.info/

    • Let's not forget this is the lowest level of local politics. If McCash really thought his defection could trash the Labour Party nationally, and it was loaded with invective and exhibitionism, then that's pretty much the definition of a "hissy fit"! Scooping the Green nomination for DaWN constituency is also going to be a lot harder for a Marxist arriviste than you suggest. There may be a wave of new, younger Polanski-ites that have joined the Green Party of E&W recently, but it's the long-standing, often retired members of the Party that tend to participate in candidate interview panels and bother voting in selections...
    • They've had 26 years or so of trading, and if anyone deserves decent retirement... In my view they're going out at the top. It's clearly being sold, assuming it all goes through as a very more more than just a going concern. 
    • I had heard this was on the cards a while ago, sad, the end of an era, but well done Rod and Tim for stewarding a beacon of excellence for so many years.    
    • Both your hopes will be fine, I think. Our waitress will stay on. The downstairs is getting refurbished, and the bar area enlarged, presumably by removing that awkward little 'lobby' by the loos.
