Failed resolutions

Posted by Andrew Mernin on January 8, 2008 12:16 PM | 

On Friday there were two things I knew were certain to happen over the weekend. Firstly the BBC would show the now infamous Ronnie Radford FA Cup goal for Hereford against Newcastle in 1972.

The Beeb's love of FA Cup giant killing means that every year without fail, they wheel out one of Newcastle United's most embarrassing moments to illustrate the mythical "magic of the cup".

And so, with predictability, I was proved right and they showed it again, again...and again.

The second certainty for me was that a trip to my local on Saturday night would bring an untimely end to my 2008 resolutions. And so, several pints of lager and a stop at the chippy on the way home, once again - unfortunately - proved me right.

Now it's back to the drawing board to find new resolutions which I know I can stick to. At the moment I'm taking the 'reduce my carbon footprint' route, although I'm not really sure where to start.

Only problem is that next week I'm jetting off on holiday - another untimely and unfortunate end to another resolution.
