I start with a resolution - to try to update this more and also try to get more people to do the Seven Deadly Sins questionnaire.
YEAR IN REVIEW (A SMALL REVIEW)
2012 saw so many interesting things happen.
A new series of Red Dwarf (which I thought was great), London held the Olympics and did a fantastic job (we should try it again sometime), Lance Armstrong turned out to be a drugs cheat, and Jimmy Savile turned out to be pure evil (who'd have known it - well most of the BBC by the sounds of it).
Big love to my former (albeit fictitious) employers, Will and Kate, on the announcement of a pregnancy (lovely).
Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy came to a stunning conclusion with The Dark Knight Rises, hopefully whoever takes over the directing on the next Batman film won't bugger it up.

Rather depressing that list, isn't it.
On a slightly lighter note - I notice that the apocalyptic prediction that some thought the Mayan's had didn't happen. So there's always that to smile about.
The Fool.
