HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!....may it be better than last year

Roll on 2006!!!

The team at the Big News at Twelvty would like to wish all their faithful and sometimes and accidental readers a very very happy and prosperous new year!!

Its been a rollercoaster....between Ireland not making the world cup (again), the loss of some friends, the making of brand new spankin good ones, loss of memory and the gaining of weight and of course King Kong. And lots and lots of dancing YAY!!! and face painting hehehe. But its a new year a new house (for me YAY!!) new places to go out...loads more photos....because I've been lacking in that department boooo!!

The Big news at Twelvty would like to share with you how we, and some of our friends rang in our new year. Who knows it may inspire some of you out there for next year.

As we all know, with each year brings new technology. For example, in 2005 we only had balck and white cameras, and the timer was, ahem, less than perfect,.....as illustrated here...

But......2 minutes later in 2006....there was colour!!! And air guitar solos.

Dancing of course plays a huge part on New Years Eve. Everyone does it...please refer to let the news at twlevty teach you how to dance. Some new styles have come to our attention.

Breakdancing should not be taken lightly. While every wants to be able to do it, only a few can. Alan is not among that elite group

Not the bump is an easy dance that requires a friend. It is, in other words, a social dance. The big news at twelvty likes to be social. Try it. Its fun!!

Oh the bump....I met my first bo doing the bump. But he left me for another bo...i should've seen the signs. He was a much better dancer than me.

New Years resolutions are of course a necessary evil tradition, which everyone makes every year and breaks the very next day....2 days tops. Roisin is here making her list. It includes not biting her nails and seeing what its like to be a blonde. Oh and eat right and cut alans hair. I made similiar resolutions last year.

Aifric is seen here laughing. She has a tenner bet she won't keep them in less than a week. Shes smug and rightly so.

people forget though that other parts of the world have new years too!! I always forget anyway but then again I'm selfish.Sick of the rainy Irish weather and in search of new drink, young Peter B and Simone S left us this year for Thailand or somesuch country. This is what they may look like celebrating new years. Peter sings Auld lane syne (?) gayily (?) but I know he's crying on the inside.

Simons upset too....buton the outside. And not because he misses us....but because he can't find cider in the East. It seems like a place i might like.

I hope they're doing good.

We hope you're all doing fine!! So for one last time.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
