And to you, Randy. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands to do ASCII artwork these days. In any event, Happy New Year!

I'll second that Harry! This year which is almost over, has been the most contentious year that I can remember.

Happy New Year everyone!

Raining cats and dogs here today, maybe that will keep the village idiots from setting off firecrackers this evening.

It certainly has. Worst in my lifetime.

Happy New Year everyone!


And the same to all the Staff who work so hard on our behalf and to the contributors from around the world - Happy New Year.

Fat chance! As I sit here typing this, there are firecrackers going off from all directions. And I can guarantee that, despite total lockdown in Wales, there are parties and rave-ups going on - plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Happy Hogmanay!

My friends - may your New Year be safe and happy.

Happy New Year to everyone! May the new year bring many blessing for everyone!

And in my part of the world there are plans for an ice storm overnight followed by a temperature rise to 50 degrees on the 1st. It's Ohio - if you don't like the weather just wait a bit and it will change. :rofl

Hey, isn't that the same saying for New England states? Well, yes it is....:)

In either case...

Happy New Year to all, may 2021 be a happy, healthy year to you and your family and friends.

PS: I like your ASCII art Randy, seems somewhat religious, but it's OK. HNY!

We say that in the Upper Midwest too. Maybe everyone does...

Happy New Year to all!

This is the year that the pronunciation is cemented, back the way it used to be said. Last year was the year I predicted, in Two Thousand, that almost all people would first say as "Twenty Twenty" rather than "Two Thousand Twenty". I think it was becoming common in the teens, but not universal. Many still said "Two Thousand Nineteen". I heard it that way a lot, but I have no way of proving when the tipping point was.

Happy new year! This year has got to be better than last year even though it really hasn't been yet, if we survive up until January 21.
