I will have to say this now as BT may not have my broadband up by tonight as the phone number they have given me does not exsist
Happy New Year to you all

I'll give my best wishes now as well since I'm working behind the bar at the Cricket Club tonight. I've never done a New Year's Eve there, so don't really know what to expect. [The band that is on is a good one I've seen before - so some behind the bar dancing is likely

]
Hope everyone has the evening they want (quiet, loud, entertaining, fun, sleepy) and fingers crossed for a better 2012 for all of us.

Wishing all my puzzling friends a healthy and prosperous 2012.
After chasing one deadline after another for the last three months, I'm looking forward to a 2012 where I only have one deadline at a time and can find time to do some puzzling!
Have a good one, everyone

Dear Mr Optimist, Mr Pessimist and Mr Realist, While you were arguing about the glass of water, I drank it! Yours sincerely, Mr Opportunist.

Happy New Year for 4 hours time (I fully intend to be in bed and asleep by then)

Now it's actually here... Hippo New Year to everybody.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Happy New Year from me too - late as usual!
Though I did have an excuse as I lost my (wired) network connection for some reason yesterday (the other computers in the house were ok!) and have had to reconnect via the wireless system.
So - back again

That'll be because the "Law of the IT man" has applied itself. As soon as they aren't there, things go wrong. As soon as they are there, things work perfectly...

Yes - that's it exactly

Absolutely classic that it waited until he'd gone before deciding to go to pot...... We still don't know exactly what the problem is and why the wire connection suddenly stopped. The wireless is fine, just a bit slower and occasionally erratic.

My laptop has a mind of its own, sometimes all I get is a black screen, sometimes it needs to be shaken upside down and thumped, sometimes it is really slow, never any logic to it, it seems to cure itself of problems and invent a new one. Today my mouse didn't work for the first 5 minutes I was turned on each time.
