Count Down For The New Year

6 hours and 30 minutes left of 2008 here in Taiwan.

5 hours and 30 minutes left in Perth (where schmiggens is)

Still 22 hours and 30 minutes in California.

19 hours and 30 minutes for folks in the middle of the US.

14 hours and 30 minutes for our UK friends.

The celebrations in Sydney looked awesome wish I was there. Still can't wait for tonight going to be freezing but still going to be good.

Anyway happy new year to everyone hope the next 12 months are good to you all.

New year was an hour and a half ago here. I'm drunk and the wife is pissy with me. Pffft.

When isn't she pissy with you, Grant? LOL Just kidding!!!



Happy New Year everyone. I hope that ya'll stay safe, no matter what you do, or where you go.

Happy New Year to all. May 2009 be a year with good health, good times, and better economically.

Great start to the year then

We had a bbq at our house, and I got tanked. I vaguely remember the countdown to New Year and I think I made it to about 1am before I fell asleep. So far 2009 has been a good year.

Happy New Year everyone!

I was laying in bed, curled up with my cat, at midnight. When all the fireworks started, I just held her tight, and reassured her that it was okay. That was my welcome to 2009.

My new year was pretty good we went to the street party, then we did a bit of firstfooting and ended up at some guys house singing Sinatra songs at 6.00am which seemed a perfectly normal thing to do at the time.

We all stayed up, it's tradition in my family to allow the kids to stay up that late on New Years. We played the game of Life, had dessert, then watched Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Awe man... I'd have liked to do that instead of what I did.

First footing?

Oh you wont have heard of that will you, firstfooting is a Scottish tradition of being the first person to enter someones house after new year the idea being that this person will bring good luck with them.
