Well I didn't get out and about, quiet night in watched the footie then settled down to see the New Year with Jools Holland, taking us up to the Midnight Hour, Erma Thomas singing "Time is on my side", followed by countdown to New Year, toast of champers, hugs & kisses with partner Sue and Child (Emma), back to Jools introducing Mark Almond signing you guessed it "Tainted Love", few phones calls from family (Kids) then back to Jools and Emma Thomas singing "Breakaway". :good:

Anybody else see Erma, she still looks and sounds great. :good: Happy new Year Everyone
