Happy New Year to one and all. Well, 2008 was one of the best years for many, er, years. Here’s to 2009 being even better.

Business was good, my sport was good – Pompey winning the FA Cup for the first time in 69 years for a start, never mind the Olympics – and this year will be just as good I reckon, despite all the doom and gloom there seems to be in the world at the moment.

I have a good feeling about 2009 .. . .
