I've been tagged by Nich Starling to pick up Iain Dale's meme on 8 wishes for 2008. No great enthusiast for blog memes but since it's Christmas and in no particular order...
- A Democratic presidency - still undecided on Clinton / Edwards / Obama but very much decided against Guilliani / Huckabee / Romney!
- Real third party politics in the UK - C'mon Mr Clegg, give messrs Brown & Cameron a run for their money. I'm not a Lib Dem but politics is better when there are real alternatives.
- Rediscover my guitar - may have included something like this in a list last year but, if so, I failed. Jazz guitar is still an infinitely more satisfying and challenging hobby than blogging...
- To lose some weight - self-explanatory...
- To launch a new website / blog - Sshhh, can't say more at the moment but should be interesting (and will have to involve some of you!)
- Job Security - any colleagues reading will understand, may still be at the same company but lots of changes on the horizon. Coming through them unscathed would be nice...
- Write short stories - I've started many but never finished them. Not a good omen since one day I'd like to write a novel. In '08 I'm hoping to add a few short stories here...
- Keep falling in love with Joseph - sentimental I know but having a kid changes everything and it's genuinely the first thing that pops into your head when you think about how he'll grow next year...
Struggling to name five who've already escaped but I'll try Newmania, Chris Paul, Paul Burgin, Paul Linford and Grant Thoms

Very kind of you to put aside your usual dislike of memes.
I'll keep a look out for your stories and your new website/blog project.
Oh, and you are so right about children changing the way you feel. I guess that is why I have absolutely no desire to ever get myself alected again to anything.
A very merry Christmas to you and your family.
Oh no-one bothers me C . I `ll have a go .. reviewing yours .

2 No horror ,a dreadful thought.
3 Really ,I play the pinao and guitar often
4 Same here
5 Hmmm I had an idea about that.
6 I hear you brother
7 Take an evening class I did once it gives you the impetus and a sounding board. You will meet some of the most insufferably conceited people in the cosmos though
8 Another one , I like ( although I am too hard to say so)
I would hope for Brown to drop dead but last time I wished for that Smith died and we got Blair.
I aint dabbling
1. A moral presidency would be nice.
2. The Lib Dems lost all credibility when Lembit Opek gave up Sian Lloyd for a Cheeky girl.
3. It used to be beside the kitchen door.
4. Just wait until mortgage rates go into double figures.
5. Finish the one you've got first.
6. I concur.
7. Every day is a short story.
8. Tell me about it.....!
Nich & Paul - thank you and I hope you're both having an enjoyable Christmas...
'notsofarremoved' - I suspect I have first hand experience of how enjoyable a Christmas you're having!
