Well here it is, 2007 'a hobbits odyssey' - I wonder what it will bring?
I just hope it is not as stagnant a year as 2006 was for me.
Watching the fireworks last night on the telly in the pub made me muse 'why does it always have to be from London and in front of Big Ben?' Ok so we had the unremarkable London Eye to look at whilst there was a panoply of fireworks in the back drop. Why can't we have celebrations from another city or landmark, there's plenty to choose from. The news did show other places celebrating but as ever London has to be the focal point. Alright there's obvious answers to this, 'it is the capital etc etc blah blah' but it would just be refreshing to see it done from somewhere else.
Lines of immigrants marching home under the lighting of big ben would have been much more pleasing.

Ouch, ouch, ouch. London would never be the magnificent capital that it is without the successive waves of immigrants. I welcome them everyone.
Can't say I agree with you Em's but you probably knew that anyway, it is a well known fact that if you took all the immigrants out of London overnight its economy would collapse, which is quite disturbing in itself.
