Just in case you find yourselves at a loose end waiting for the chimes of midnight to strike tonight, have a look at this - 100 things we didn't know this time last year, courtesy of the BBC.
Meanwhile, rather than conduct a tedious review of the year, I am going to opt for brevity and simply share with you what, for me, was the quote of 2011. Did it come from a statesman with gravitas? No, Nick Clegg was too busy to answer my request for a quote. Did it come from an international sportsman? No. Did it come from a leading patron of the Arts? Well sort of. It actually came from acclaimed piss artist the Shah and it was as follows:-
Here's wishing all those kind people who took the time to read my blog over the past year a very happy and healthy 2012!

"To you, I'm just a human piñata, aren't I?"
This made me laugh so much that the wine I was drinking at the time came out of my nose. (Just thought I would share that with you).

You will notice that I have included a link to help out those of you who are not familiar with the ancient Anglo Saxon term "Piss artist". This was an insult that was popular in my youth but which has largely fallen out of use these days. I couldn't think of a more appropriate term to describe my beloved as it happens. Indeed, it has fallen so far out of use that most of the definitions I found for it were absolute nonsense - like this from Urban Dictionary:- " Someone who has no control over his penis" The mind boggles!
