horrible and wonderful (its been a rough year with some good bits in between, but mostly horrible)

and for next year its going to be "can't be worse" (OK not a word but a phrase but lets not be pedantic since yours technically aren't words either mossy)

Phrase's are fine, but my word of the year is Hillsborough, the rest of the post just preamble to the reason.

More importantly, I am very sorry to hear your words of this year, I just wish there was more of the latter word than the previous, so I am not accepting nex year's phrase from you and changing it too, ' Will be better, much better'.

Still <deleted> as word of the year. Surely next year must be better than this one. I shudder to think if it was worse.

My word of the year, to quote sbk, is '<deleted>'. The word of 2013 is going to be 'better'.

Gloves.

In a particularly bleak and dismal winter, my gloves have had me clapping my little paws and chortling with glee and anticipation to boot

We only have the 1872 Cup games to go, and surely we can't both lose those?

That's not how you spell " blether ".

Word of the day is "rain".

Word of the day is "rain".

Coupled with 'floods' and 'insurance claims'.

It is bucketing down at the moment and is due to stay like that all day.

Did my Christmas shopping yesterday.

My word of the year is RETIRED . (Apologies to those who know me, for mentioning it again..................... and again )

Number of the week was 4...

As in the number of deserts I had at Le Meridien brunch today.

well thats just evil of you scead. I never knew you were so mean.

Their desert table is magnificent, it took a man of considerable will power and strength of character to take only four.

They have a chocolate fountain there that you dip marshmallows and strawberries into that can destroy a diet for all time.

I just picked up the most marvellous phrase out of the paper.... "a slave to the tyranny of experts".

Just for that I'm not going to listen to a single word of advice today.

I very seldom listen to advice - I'm too busy handing it out.
