I'm sure that someone else must have mentioned this already, however. Happy New Year to you and yours - hope it's a good one what with impending promotion and all that. Year of the Pig - supposed to be lucky.
All the best.

Thank you Mr Lord. And 'chung lei fat choi' to you and yours as well.

After three days of relentless fireworks, and they're going off now at nine on Monday morning, I wish they'd give it a rest, like. I might have a weekend in Bhagdad for a bit of peace.
