New Years Resolutions

"Do one thing that scares you every day"

This one was very ambitious but Ed was willing to give it a go after being given the book "Yes Man" for Christmas he felt it was time to be adventurous. So on new years day he accepted a bet to jump over three cars on a motorbike. The fact that he had only learnt of the existence of motorbikes that very day was irrelevant (before then he just thought that push bikes had gotten a bit fancy). So there he was, at the top of a poorly constructed ramp waiting to the sparkle glue to dry, when suddenly his foot slips and he was away. Before he has time to react he is over the three cars and landed on the other side. Unfortunately the brakes failed and he rolled off into the sunset and wasn't seen again till June 16th teetering over the edge of tower bridge in London.

"I'm going to grow my own food"

This one is from the outset a bad idea but Tim was resolute in his affirmation that he was a gardener at heart.Though he was new to physical gardening he had pretended to read a lot of books on the subject and was aware that vegetables came from between the toes of mythical beasts and not from the supermarket storeroom. So on his first day in his new allotment he had a selection of seeds to plant but in a strange twist he sneezed and sent this assortment of seeds everywhere. he figured that that was enough and went to find the nearest Starbucks. Several weeks later when he remembered the allotment he returned to find an overgrown mess and strange mutations of vegetables including a carrot/potato which talked to him in a voice not unlike Joe Pasquale, a parsnip/marrow with a thirst for blood and a wild cucumber/onion that had commandeered a chicken. the lesson to be learnt here is never grow food on and ancient Indian burial ground. `

"Try and meet more new people"

The short version of this story is to limit meeting new people. The long answer is that when Fred met some new people he became involved in a world of leather and handcuffs and he felt obliged to look interested.
