Well, that's Christmas done for another year. The Perfume adverts have finished and the Holiday ones have started. So now New Year approaches and reviews of the year gone by begin. So what kind of year has it been?
We have swapped a fairly dull PM for an even duller PM with a dull sidekick.England did not win the World Cup. Robbie rejoined Take That. Aung San Suu Kyi was released in Burmah after spending 15 of the last 21 years under house arrest. We had chaos in the summer with the Icelandic volcano ash cloud and further chaos in the winter when it snowed. Ayr United were relegated. 33 miners were rescued from mine in Chile after being trapped underground for 68 days. Wagner did not win The X Factor
I believe that covers the main global points of the year so I will now give you my own personal review of 2010
Best Moment of 2010: 11.28 AM 06/10/10 Young Ben arrives in the world and makes me a grandfather for the first time
Best Live Match attended in 2010.....Scotland 2 Spain 3. Although Scotland lost this one it was a pleasure to watch Spain and they did win me some money with their earlier World Cup win
Worst Live Match attended in 2010....Morton 2 Ayr 1 ...Ayr snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by losing two late goals and are relegated on the last day of the season. Happy Days
Best TV in 2010.....Mad Men......if you have not seen it, watch it. It is excellent
Worst TV moment of 2010....Storm singing Born To Run on The X Factor. There really should be a law against that
Favourite Album of 2010...The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Best New Imaginary Girlfriend of 2010....Zooey Deschanel
Best Books read in 2010...Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell and Plainsong & Eventide by Kent Haruf
Best Sandwich of 2010.....Brie and Cranberry
Favourite Movie seen in 2010....The Hangover
Favourite Song of 2010...U Smile by Justin Bieber (just checking to see if any of you have actually read this far)
Well that's it for this year.Abbreviated Blog this week. People must have better ways to make use of their holidays than read this mince. Happy New Year to you all when it comes. I will be back in 2011
Well, what an odd blog. As a regular reader I have become accustomed to your strange ways regarding Ayr United and Mr Springsteen. I have never heard of Storm (or Wagner, in this context) so have no opinion here.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you mention the Chilean miners.
Astounding that so many of us became involved in the lives of people we did not know and would never meet, especially since they came from a country which, for those of us of a certain age, generates very little positive feeling. Pinochet is regarded by many of us as one of the 20th century's most evil men, and even Isabel Allende's inspiring humanity struggles to create a balance.
Now on to the nitty gritty of your message.
I was not previously aware of the existence of Justin Bieber, so after checking out his music (broadest sense of word) almost abandoned your blog for ever.
I was equally unaware of Zooey Deschanel, who put you back up there as my favourite blogger. She reminds me of Isabelle Adjani.
I am happy.
You're a cool blogging daddy in the USA.
ps great subject song, surprised you are old enough to remember Dan Fogelberg - did you know his mum was a Scot? - thought Roxy Music and Madness would be more your cuppa!
