That does strike me as somewhat dedicated to the cause, however I'll
be at Brixham beach, setting some fireworks off and drinking hot
chocolate...
So our 9th annual new year visit to Brixham went off with a bang! Our
fireworks were good (despite the wind!) - lots to see all round
Torbay -
a much better show than last year's rainy credit crunch one.

Nice spiced hot chocolate too :)

Time for bed... Happy New Year, everyone!

So you didn't have it pre-written to send on Big Ben's first bong?

Nah, that's too easy, instead I bet you wrote a simple bash script and
set it up as a cron job and synced your time with uk.pool.ntp.org.
