Jet packs are held at customs, pending investigation. They’re from China and may contain spyware. There are also some Health & Safety issues to be resolved..
One of the unexpected bonuses of where we live is being able to watch the fireworks at the footy club from our front doorstep. Remarkably, we were still awake.
I don’t celebrate the big night (never seen what the fuss is about, to be honest – bah humbug), and won’t be watching fireworks or Jools’ Hootenanny, but if you do I hope it’s a splendid time all round, and I hope everybody in the Afterword parish has a great 2025.
A bargain, I’m sure you’ll agree and there’s an additional offer that expires at midnight GMT so hurry, hurry while stocks last:
Get three futures for the price of two, using the promo code
“Armageddon Days Are Here Again. Pile ’em High and Sell ’em Cheap”.
Happy here that the fireworks haven’t caused any major local livestock issues, as far as we know so far. Always go to bed on the 31st with our fingers crossed, then up early to assess any nasty consequences. Not much time for joy unbound I’m afraid, due to other’s inconsiderate behaviour in the past causing anticipatory worry every year. Relieved it’s over again, yet also glad if you managed to have a great time.
HNY to all you AWers based way over yonder in Oz, NZ or the far east. Still ages till midnight here in Blighty.
So, what’s the future look like? Have the personal jet packs arrived yet?
I can reveal that 2025 looks pretty much like 2024 so far.

Addendum:
That’ll be the end of electric scooters, once all the drug dealers get their jet packs.
Had neighbourhood kids over, made 10 wood-fired pizzas to feed them all, and have just collapsed in bed at 12:30. Kids are still up and life is good.
Hey @Leedsboy, where’s Wordle 2025?
Yeah, @Black-Celebration could be up to anything.
I’ve seen the future Wordle and it’s a rum ‘un.
I have played my first hole of 2025 and will share my score when the the northern hemmo lads have shaken off their hangovers and set up a thread.
I expect he’s out revelling, that’s what people do isn’t it?

HNY all.

Still a few hours to go here, but just been notified of this special offer from that nice Mr. Farage at [Reformparty.uk]

Happy New Year to all!
This is pretty old (9 months ago, Rishi Sunak was still PM-just) but very relevant for the year ahead, I think.
A long one. Just over an hour.
