What do you wish for 2013?

Post by margaretcarnes »

Well Christmas is all over now bar the credit card bills and re-cycling. Now we face another New Year and all it will bring. So what would you like to see happen in 2013? I'm not talking about major changes which realistically won't happen - like an end to wars, poverty and global warming. But just the things which could perhaps be achievable.
So to start you off - I'd like to see Prince Charles give up his right to succeed the British throne. I'd like to see Zara Phillips get a decent dress designer (and a full length mirror.) Perhaps home brewing made legal in Thailand? And importantly I'd like to see workable gun control measures in the States.

Over to you and Happy New Year! :rasta:

For Thailand to have a stable political climate allowing for growth and strength in the economy

Changes in the laws to make it more straightforward and less bureaucratic for foreigners to achieve permanent residency (PR) in Thailand

Dramatic improvements in gun controls/ownership in both USA and Thailand :guns:

2012 has been fantastic for me, so I'd like another year the same please.

Like BB, I've had a good year apart from my run in with the State Pension bods in the UK

So hoping for better health (more exercise and more moderation in lifestyle) and better wealth (loans paid up) in 2013.

Hope all my friends have a good year too wherever they may be :thumb:

Agreed Lev, but the answer to that is in Admins' hands.

I've enjoyed 2012, so more of the same. They could also finish the new canal road. Reduce green fees. Enforce more helmet wearing. Fine tourists who refuse to wear a top, for indecency. Ban thongs on the over 50kgs, and upload the Thai language , Matrix-style, into my brain, saving me years of effort and muzzle the Karaoke singer at the top of the road.

To revisit Thailand and rekindle some of the old spirit I enjoyed so much.

To remain healthy. I have just lost 5 stone in 5 months and am now a svelte 12.7 stone... :D

The exchange rate to return to 70bht to the pound.

Happy days... :cheers:

Yes please tell us your secret Randy!

And another one I missed earlier - I wish Macca would finally realise that he can't manage much more than Hey Jude these days and retire gracefully...

To finish my novel and for the people who expressed an interest in the finished draft to pick it up, print the bugger and pay me enough to set up permanently writing for the love of it rather than for work.

For the big sodding psycho tomcat that keeps tearing off bits of my smaller cat, Mr Squeek, and the little cats next door to stay still long enough, or carry out another home invasion - just long enough for me and my Som Tam stick to say hello.

For income to pick up so I dont have to return to the cold place. Being skint aint no fun, but at least here its warm :wink: In fact for income to pick up enough so I can sort out a new visa, go back to the UK, then come back as last time reminded why I love living here and not there. Be good to see my parents as well.

For Hollydud to make a few films a month Id actually want to watch for a change rather than a handful in a year.

For Peter Jackson to admit making films in 48fps was the mistake of the decade and agree never to do it ever again...and to make sure the DVD releases are all the 24fps version. And apologise for turning a short 300 page novel into a 9 hour three film epic the same length as the whole LOTR trilogy.

For Mars rover to find evidence of archaic life on the planet Mars, or better still current subsoil bacterial life.

For Hollydud to admit the 3D fad is a shark that has been jumped over, run over in a tank till its a smear in the road, and agree to stop making films that are full of pathetic 3D cackola. For cinema fans to admit sitting there in a pair of RayBan like glasses makes you look like a cock.

For Brooks and Coulson to be tried and sent to prison for 10 years apiece with no appeal or parole, and for the Home Office to put permanent "No Entry" stamps into the passports of Indenial James and his Dirty Digger Dad

Then of course there is the total fantasy wishes - for Thais to finally wake up to the fact Thaksin and his whole clan belong in permanent exile or behind bars, and for sane gun laws in the US.
