Weecalf:
Normally I'd agree with you. (Happiness is just for kids in my opinion). But it's New Year's Eve; let's at least pretend that we might be happy this year, just for now!
So I'll wish you a happy (or, at the very least, an extremely contented) new year ;-)
Patsy Watchorn is also doing a great job as a replacement for the late Ronnie Drew, with the Dubliners. He hasn't got the same vocal range but he certainly knows how to perform.
Happy New Year Clanad. Were you lucky enough to be home for NY? ( or more realistically - did your completely inhuman, computer generated roster system decide that you would be home for NY?)
Jno[i and [i]237js]... wishes to you for the best New Year yet... for the entire year. Hope you come to the U.S. yet again, jno!
Took some annual leave for the first time in a number of years, 237js, just to try being at home for the Christmas holidays. Bored out of my gourd, though after about 4 days. Computer is generating training/simulator dates though... sigh, at the mercy of electrons (mostly errant at that)...
