'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/

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
