So the Powers That Be are inaugurating yet another "New Year". It's very weird. They do it all the time. It must be an annual thing because it happens every January 1st. Yes, we have to go all the way back to bloody January and do it all over again. Then February, March, and so on. Why can't we just keep going forward for heaven's sake? If you ask me, it's a plain, downright failure of imagination that's responsible for such regressive scheduling.
Frankly I don't understand what was wrong with the year we already had? If it ain't broke don't fix it, I always say.
But if you complain they just fob you off with a glass of champagne, Dick Clark, and some ridiculous ball-dropping nonsense with a moronic "countdown" chant going on in the background
For The Sake Of Auld Lang Syne? More like For The Sake Of The Same Auld Pain In The Ass, if you ask me.
And now I have to buy a new desk calendar and a new diary and all that crap too.
