We stayed home and just had a nice dinner here. I felt bad as Em had had the opportunity to buy me a couple of little surprise presents. I wasn&#8217;t able to get her anything. Not even a card.<\/p>\n<p>New Year&#8217;s Eve again was quiet. I had a few Bailey&#8217;s with a hint of caramel drinks. Em actually managed to stay up after midnight (just), which was a feat for her! We saw a bit of the London fireworks on TV (and saw a bit of Sydney&#8217;s earlier on in the day) and watched the rest of Jool&#8217;s Hootenanny. I went to bed around 1am. Then listened to the radio for a while. I couldn&#8217;t sleep and so at around 3am made a request for a song via text. I was still awake at 4.15am to hear my name being read out, so that was cool.<\/p>\n<p>After the New Year, it was just a count down to the Embassy World Darts which has been on TV since Saturday. I just SSOOO love the &#8220;walk-on&#8217;s&#8221; of the players. Sorry, but there is NOTHING on YouTube, I&#8217;ll have to try and get something up myself. My favourite player is Martin &#8220;Wolfie&#8221; Adams. The announcer\/MC, Martin Fitzmaurice announces Wolfie&#8217;s arrival by calling out &#8220;Iiiitttt&#8217;s Wooolllllllffffiiiieeee!!!&#8221;&#8230;and creepy-like music plays, with a howling wolf, which Wolfie mimes to. Then Duran Duran&#8217;s &#8220;Hungry Like The Wolf&#8221; starts to play. It&#8217;s just brilliant!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"ted-hankey.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/larelle.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/11\/typical-me\/ted-hankeyjpg\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-65\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/larelle.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/ted-hankey.jpg\" alt=\"ted-hankey.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Ted <em>&#8220;The Count&#8221;<\/em> Hankey)<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"martin-wolfie-adams-1.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/larelle.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/11\/typical-me\/martin-wolfie-adams-1jpg\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-66\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/larelle.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/martin-wolfie-adams-1.jpg\" alt=\"martin-wolfie-adams-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Martin <em>&#8220;Wolfie&#8221;<\/em> Adams)<\/p>\n<p>No New Year&#8217;s resolutions.
