OK, resolutions.

Here we go, Doug's resolutions for 2003:

1. Either get a career started, or get on Social Security Disability.

2. Write! Spend a little time each day with Word. Even if it is stuff that isn't for publication, get in the habit.

3. Get out more. See people. Stop letting epilepsy keep me here.

4. Get serious about working back into shape. Do a couple of push-ups and sit-ups each morning. Go for walks. Work up slowly.

No earth-shakers there, but things I'd like to do.

Seems dashedly sensible to me, old boy. Pip pip, top ho, and all that.

Yes, I have been watching BBC America (http://bbcamerica.com) all morning. Why do you ask? ;)

Have you seen the new ad for the Mini Cooper on the telly?

A Cooper is driving through a rocky desert, when a London Metropolitan Police car is suddenly behind it, with lights and annoying Euro-siren. Driver pulls over, and the bobbie walks up.

Driver: "Is something wrong officer?"

Bobbi: "To begin with, you are driving on the wrong side of the road!"

Driver: "Um, this is America."

Bobbie looks up, seems to notice the desert for the first time.

Bobbie: "Ah. Very good then. Carry on."
