Another Year Over - Was It Any Good?

This year I managed to achieve a long held ambition, namely to appear on a TV quiz show - "A Question of Genius" - and to cap it all I managed to win an episode and qualified for the series final! The rest of the year has been frustratingly unsuccessful - I'm still out of work and the house is up for sale as I've almost run out of finances! I also lost in my annual golf challenge with Dave for the first time! Oh well, it could be worse! Hopefully 2010 will see a turn around in my fortunes!
