Well, it's the time of year to start making resolutions - and my resolution is not to give up drinking. Or smoking. Or eating unhealthily. Or not getting any physical exercise. No, I've decided that - even though a large amount of people I work with/for are aware of this page, I don't give a fuck anymore.

Basically, someone shopped me - I shared a story a few months back which ended up in me turning up to work under the influence - considering Scotland had won 3-0 away from home I thought I would get away with turning up an hour late for work bladdered. A final verbal warning based on my honest website writings five months previously seemed a bit harsh - so I decided not to share any of it at all!

Needless to say in the past seven months I've turned up to work an hour late and a bit drunk before, but the boss doesn't know about it!! And since then my little country has beaten the honorary football world champions and I was drunk five days after that - and working for four of them...Great days!

Anyway - despite me originating from the land of Auld Lang Syne, the only thing about New Year's Eve I was looking forward to was to see if the Broncos would qualify for the NFL play-offs. Unfortunately being Scottish I was duty-bound to trail off into the city centre and drink myself into a stupor. Well, thats the impression I got from my Aberdonian compatriots.

So after a couple of drinks in the pub, followed by the Aberdeen street party and the depressing droning of Marti fucking Pellow and Wet Wet Wet (if you haven't heard of the Wets, PLEASE don't bother!!) I ended up in a dodgy greasy nightclub where a friend of an ex-workmate ended up bring proposed to. Which is nice, means if I play my cards right I could get some free cake!

Thats the thing about Hogmanay up here, if you're in the zone then it's the easiest time in the world to get "female attention" if you will - but it's a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. I don't go out of my way to stick my tongue down stranger's throats, which is a bad thing on December 31st! Maybe I'm too highbrow for this country....
