Well my darlings, this is the end of yet another year. Instead of doing a long drawn out recap of 2005, which really wasn't all that great anyway, I would rather send it off with an Irish toast.

So raise your glasses of Guiness or Smithwick's and repeat after me:

'Go mbeire muid beo ar an am seo arís.'
May we be alive at this time next year.
'Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit!'
A prosperous New Year!

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want.

Have a safe and happy New Years kiddies. I'll be seeing you in '06.
