Question Highlights and Lows of 2009

What's your's?

My 2009 has been, for me, pretty steady, and rather uneventful - but 2010 is shaping up to be a year of change as my company is looking to lay staff off. Being laid off on some good terms would be a positive, I can then retire - finally!

My lowest part of 2009 has to be when some idiot rear ended my RB5 at the end of March, having had it back from the bodyshop only three months before, it was nearly written off by the insurance assessor, but luckily it was repaired as it was limited edition.

Highlight only happened three weeks ago when I met a nice girly in my local Chicago Rock ( a rare thing) , who I have started going out with

Happy New Year Scooby Netters

It's only monotony if you have heard/seen/read it before ...... may 2010 bless you with the ability to move on, beyond your obsession with an internet character
