2018 New Years resolutions

[Cowley]

Well now that we’re some way into 2018 I’m interested to know about your resolutions for the year?

Do you plan on giving up smoking/alcohol/social media/rail enthusiasm?
Mine would be to:

1) Get more exercise, including a bit more running.
2) Stop messing around and get the outstanding jobs done around the house (there are many).
3) Become a millionaire.

Anyone else?

For me, stopping smoking definitely needs to be a priority, as does getting a bit more exercise. My waistline has expanded considerably over the last few years, so that definitely needs dealing with. I suppose that means cutting down on the beer too...

I'm also hoping to get some rail travel done this year. I've got two preserved lines nearby that are easily accessible on a day trip, and while I visited one (Strathspey) in my teens, I haven't been back since. The Keith & Dufftown is on the list, too.

My New Years resolutions:

Do not let my siblings tell me what to do.

Do not let my hobbies get in the way of GCSE revision.

Work up the courage to tell my mates I’m a rail enthusiast...

 

[Cowley]

My New Years resolutions:

Now if I may add something here ...

Do not let my siblings tell me what to do.

Yep definitely.

Do not let my hobbies get in the way of revision.

Yep, again definitely...

Work up the courage to tell my mates I’m a rail enthusiast...

Do it, and enjoy the feeling.

I love watching people’s reactions when I tell them I like railways... Don’t be ashamed because you’ll be surprised at how interested people actually are...

Haha - the thing is though my brother and I are one of the most popular boys in our year at high school and I fear that we would lose our popularity if people knew...

I mean I know I shouldn’t think that but sadly that most likely would happen these days.

Hm ok. We’ll discuss this tomorrow when we’re (by that I mean me) a bit clearer headed.
I’ve got a few things to say on that subject.
Happy New Whatsit.

Whatsit?
I can’t say I understand your humour there Mr Cowley but happy new year

My website single resolution is to steer clear of any DOO threads on the website and an expressed hope not to "wind-up" the true "Shooter believers" on the Vivarail Class 230 thread.

 

[Aussie_Rail]

I started a new years resolution Jan 1st 2013 to not eat Maccas, Burger King, KFC etc and I'm still going.

This year I plan to be more productive, eat better and get out more among other things.

 

[TheNewNo2]

I don't call it a new year thing as such, but after a pretty awful year for my mental health, I have decided on one thing:

* Do not be "friends" with people who will not put in any effort to keep a friendship alive.

I'm done trying to coax blood from a stone, if they aren't going to take the initiative in talking once in a while they can go **** themselves.

 

[ATW Alex 101]

Give up smoking and not to wind people up unknowingly! And also go on a diet.

 

[Cowley]

Not to post things on the forum or start threads after having too much to drink. Maybe I’ll try and find a breathalyser attachment for the phone.

I second that certainly!

Most people found it fascinating that I had the patience to travel to the top of Scotland (for example) and my unplanned night on the S&C earnt me celebrity status for weeks! (Literally-EVERYONE knew about that...)

Ok, a few people took the piss but it was (mostly) good natured-in the same way that you might mock someone for supporting a rubbish football team for example.

At the end of the day, people soon learnt that I'd (probably) be able to find them cheaper tickets-so I suspect that helped a fair bit!

 

[Class465fan]

My new year resolution is to stop being a lazy pile of c*rap and start exercising more often

 

[Fred43123]

My New Years resolutions:

• Travel about as much as possible
  
• Try and fly somewhere this year
• Learn to drive

 

[xotGD]

To get back below 13 stone. Currently 13-9. Previously I got down from 15 to 13 over an 18 month period, but then have drifted back up.

This may sound a bit strange, but mine is not really a resolution as such, but it's to do my best to help my best friend get the dream job he really wants.

A few of my colleagues have got to know about my interest over the past few years and generally been pretty supportive. I’ve recently joined Instagram and have a few colleagues on there (never had any of them on Facebook) and I have the odd rail thing on there and I’ve ended up having a couple of conversations about it with other colleagues

Here are mine:

• Eat healthy food more regularly.
• Get more exercise.
• Spend more quality time with my loved ones.
• Buy less treats like cakes, biscuits etc.

 

[telstarbox]

Compared to some things people get up to in their spare time railway enthusiasm is entirely uncontroversial. I'm sure your friends would be fine with it but if not you're probably better off without them.

That’s really nice!

 

[Macwomble]

Don't do NY resolutions.....they'll only get broken

 

[Groningen]

None here. The view here is that a date does not matter.

That's exactly mine too, had quite a few people who I used to consider 'close friends' who simply couldn't give a toss about me this past year.

Sadly that does rather conflict with mine; I have a stated aim to make time for a visit to the Cotswolds as part of my current research.

Not to post things on the forum or start threads after having too much to drink. Maybe I’ll try and find a breathalyser attachment for the phone.

That’s pretty much my resolution, that I ought to sign out before I hit the pub...

... hic ... oh I’ve already broken that
