Ding, ding, ding ... it's that time of the year again!

What a year so far? Who would have thought our economy would hit an all time low? I'm probably being a cow now, but I absolutely hate listening to the Irish news first thing in the morning. I can read it on-line, on a Twitter feed - but that unmerciful, dead-pan, dreary, hang-me-high-now voice of the newsreaders in the morning just wants me to get back into bed again and forget about the day ahead - what's the use? Seriously ... we all know its bad, but surely there's someone who might add a chirpy "well, that's how it is, but let's get out there and make today count!" Note to self ... that's obviously me talking to myself again.
