Ok. But it'll be about another 9 more hours over here, before I can reciprocate, and I'll probably be asleep, so don't hold your breath.

ps. I'm eating ice cream and blueberry pancakes.
 
Currently 12.19pm 1st January in New Zealand.

Never heard of such a thing.
google google google

O.M.G.

Fresh lettuce, red onion and tomato drizzled with spicy Super Charged sauce, topped with two 100% chicken breast fillet Crispy Strips, and all wrapped in a soft warmed tortilla.

I believe that might be the most delicious sounding thing I've heard of, since pizza. :oldlove:

I think I will make that for lunch tomorrow, as Wellington is a bit out of my way.

Well, I'm sitting my apartment in a low income neighborhood, so I have the Einsteins and Newtons who live in this complex making as much noise as possible. They've spent what little money they have on what sounds like dynamite, and they're playing Mexican music to the entire neighborhood. So yeah, happy new year. I'm so excited to not have any right to peace and quiet.
From living in low income neighborhoods and working in a warehouse, I've developed the law of idiocy.
How stupid you are [itex]\propto[/itex] how much you enjoy noise.

Yeah, I've been in quite similar situations, and I have spent many moments of my too-short life pissed off about it. I later learned life is more fun if you allow yourself to go out and join the idiots. Better yet, bring them cookies. Trust me - you will get more than you give ;).

This isn't a low-income neighborhood (if not a highest-income one either), but we still have firecrackers going off every once in a while, thanks to our neighbors' kids.

In South Carolina, fireworks stands pop up like mushrooms the week before Fourth of July and New Year, and disappear the day afterwards.
