I have 3

Give up meat and alcohol for January
Get a new job
Join a cycling club to get motivated

I can see 2 of them happening but I wonder which one will last until Tuesday?

    1) Spend less on nights out. Will be limiting myself and only taking out so much money with me, leaving the cards behind.
    2) Enter a couple more events on the bike this year, got a few in mind already.
    3) Actually get on top of my workload at uni for once, started this one already, trying to get caught up before the new term begins.

    Should be simple enough, 2 of them will probably only last about 2 weeks into term though although I can try :roll:

    Scariest forumite nomination......... you just justified it! :lol:


    I don't normally go for resolutions, but making an exception this year.

    My goal is to get back on the MTB and get back to at least close to my previous fitness levels (shouldn't be too hard, they werent great to start with).

    i usually find new years resolutions pretty pointless but what the heck:
    1. build up a new bike before july
    2. get into 6th form college by getting good results in GCSEs
    3. ride at moelfre, caersws or fort william
    4. w@nk less

    Good thing you have a few years yet to do this, being 12 and all:

    So you still have plenty of time to do this

    Own an automatic rifle

    Unfortunately, due to the crappy gun laws in this country (UK), you'll have to move somewhere else to do this one legally. Can't even get a semi (Ooh er matron...), has to be bolt action. The only auto-rifles allowed here are boring bb ones.

    For me:
    1. Improve my upper body strength.
    2. Ride off road more.
    3. Post on here more.

    I think Ray is intending to return to SA sometime. Still hard to get a licence for a semi though, although I used to keep a .38 snub nose down my pants.




    Before the obvious obvious cracks, my obvious is more of a .44 Magnum, obviously.

    They're not resolutions as such, but I want to ride more, improving my fitness and skill on a bike (I've been working on this since october and done alright so far).

    I'm also thinking about trying to spend less on beer so I can afford more bike parts... maybe :P

    Oh and I guess I should probably try and do well on my degree as well... :roll:

    somehow managed to pass my degree and landed a very tidy job in the private sector in a completely unrelated area of work - basically based on jobs I had in the summer breaks... :roll:

    Looking at the reso's so far we're all a bunch of unfit, uneducated people who don't ride their bikes enough?

    And Raymondavalon the best gun I've ever owned was a SIG556. I'd love a full auto but the UK makes it impossible.

    You can get into 6th form by having any GCSE results, might as well have a doss now while you still have the chance!

    Easy enough! I didn't do any revision for GCSEs and still came out with mostly As and Bs.

    1. Be a miserable git and not go anywhere on New Years eve
    2. Doss for a few more months and have fun
    3. Get a job some time in 2012...

    First 2 should be easy enough.
