Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my listeners. A quite one for me again. At home watching TV mainly because it's too frigging cold outside. Much better to watch fireworks on the box in the warm. Will miss that smokey firework smell, but that's the chance you take. Knowing my luck, I'll be standing next to the only person there with really bad B O. The man with baked bean armpits. Before and after the bean.
So 2010 is going to be the year that see's the Space Shuttle program end, and the future is Ares, apparently. Not overly convinced myself, but we shall see. The test launch of Ares 1-X was successful, but then there were rumblings about NASA having to find another way to launch rockets??? Erm, ok. Erm, what about slingshot? I'm out of idea's now.
Barcelona continue to be the best football team in Europe, to watch anyway, followed quickly by Arsenal. Considering all the money Real Madrid spent during the Summer, they're not quite ready yet. But with the second half of the season to come, it will be an interesting run in.
World Cup 2010 in South Africa is now 6 months away, and I can't wait. If England can go to SA with the players fully fit, we stand a good chance of going all the way to the Final, but I really doubt if we will win it. Too many good teams around the World, especially Brazil. The Argies, under Maradonna are yet to show their stuff, and you never write the Germans off. But I think this time we might actually see an African Country get close, maybe even win it. Neck on the line there.
2009 saw Jacko pass away, and Jedward become stars. Anyone else see the weirdo link?
Films of the year were probably 2012, and Avatar, which I haven't seen yet. But 2012 was a roller coaster that i loved.
Music saw Subo smash a few records, and mirrors, possibly. And the Christmas number one was a song by Rage Against The Machine, stopping Simon Cowell from hogging the Christmas market, and the whole Rage number 1 thing was done through a Facebook campaign.
The afore mentioned Facebook has hit several hundred million users. I'm proud of the fact that I was one of the first hundred million users. As Facebook expands, so does myspace, msn, google, and loopystuff.
Loopystuff.com will be available by the end of January, if all goes to plan. By this time next year, I hope to have more hits than Slade, T.rex and Clive Dunn (Grandad) put together.
And on that note, I wish you all a really Happy New Year.
