[Simon]

Wonderful, Darling!     But I think the phrase 'Happy New Year' should be banned.

[Rik]

To be replaced with 'Sod off, I want to go back to 2007'?

[Simon]

2009 will certainly be a year to remember - for all the wrong reasons. 

[mistybear]

Bugger 2007, I want to go back to the seventies....... 

[Rik]

That would do nicely. 

[davy51]

I liked the 50's

[Clive]

60's for me.   

[Simon]

70s.

[David]

1971.....................ahh what a year.....what a girl.......what was her name ?   

[Rik]

In my case, David, Sue. Met in September, got engaged in December.

[David]

So it must be an anniversary in one way or another  ,just think if it wasn't for Sue you could have ended up a drug addled old soak....still wearing the same hairstyle of that era.......................................Think life was good to you 

[Rik]

It was, and in six days we mark the 37th anniversary of our engagement. I class my life as BS and PS. Some people may interpret the BS differently, but it means before Sue.

[David]

  congratulations Rik and Sue and many more,I wont ask the secret,Simon said something about whips and handcuffs,but I know he is only joking 


Well done ad many congratulations to you both

[Clive]

Many commiserations Rik.  It was 1971 for me too.
