    I think we are all agreed that 2011 was a mixed year for Ireland but how was it for you personally however?

    For me, it was a good year - I seemed to get to know myself much better, I achieved many of the things I set out to do and I met some lovely new people some of whom have become friends, including some of you who frequent this joint. I developed professionally and what I can old describe as semi-professionally and have been blessed that my family and friends seem to be as happy as I am.

    Hopefully 2012 will be as good :)

    It was the beginning of a premature mid-life crisis that will no doubt end in a rapid deterioration into hookers and cocaine.

    Much like every other year.

    A year older, a year wiser.

    I've seen many years come and go and at this stage in my life they're nothing but a date on the calender.

    I remember 1968, oil prices rock bottom and I drove a beautiful Ford Mustang, guzzling fuel, not a care in the world.

    You see folks, I've had the greatest years, unfortunately thing are getting worse. Reliance on technology and the internet. What ever happened to picnics in the prairies of Kansas, not a care in the world. Just me and the Earth.

    Another date on the calender my friends, just a date.

    2011 was pretty good for me, thanks. I was waiting for the Premiership to start on RTE2 at 2030 so I could see Arsenal's 4 goals, so I was happy enough and didn't have long to wait.

    like the rest of the western world, another year older, another year deeper in debt.

    It was good. Packers went the entire year unbeaten. Stoke reached the FA cup final and qualified for the Europa League last 32. Dublin won the National Hurling league and the Football championship.

    But I fell asleep and missed the last 4 weeks of it... :(

    I have a thing against odd years for some reason.

    Give me an 02, 04 or 08 and I'm happy

    Hate odd years for some really weird reason :confused:

    I'm happy thread is it? Okay I'll play.

    What you're saying is 'tell me your misery stories so I can feel even happier even though my happiness is so brittle that I must profess it on a website at 0:30 on a Sunday morning'?

    Happiness is fragile. One day you're chewing on a steak with the world at your feet... then next your dead meat.

    Take it from me. I've been killed in both World wars and lived to tell the tale.

    The insanest roller coaster ever. It's surreal living a life where one part of it is completely perfect, and the other a never ending misery. I so often say to people I live in a purgatory, because I'm somewhere there between.

    Not my worst year but far from the best, January to March were great but it went downhill then recovering in July and all was going smashingly until Kerry lost the All-Ireland and it was really crap until about two weeks ago so I'd say I had 7 good months out of 12!
