This is our last post of 2008. For those who aren't partying you might like to take another look at ConHome's first of the year in which we said that George Osborne was the Conservative politician to watch in 2008. Our New Year Editorial for the coming twelve months will be published in the morning. Until then a very happy 2009 to all readers.

Happy New Year everyone,including our Resident Troll. I mean you Mr Draper.
We have stayed at home, as its colder than a walk in fridge round here, and I am too old to be bothered by a horde of jolly drunks. Thank you NuLab for the 24 hour drinking that made all this possible.

Happy New Year, to all contributors - it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. I'm having a quiet time at home but I can see the mayor's fireworks from my window.
