2015 highlight of the year

Relocating to the English countryside, getting my first overseas assignment reviewing uncle Tommy 'The Voice' Jones and importing/registering my motorcycle right in time for a good ol' wet and cold English winter.

prediction for 2016

More investment in renewable energy, less news about war, more news about refugees being welcomed with open arms, live music venues continuing to host all manner of live music, Captain America, JJ Abrams becomes some sort of world leader, David Pocock becomes Prime Minister of Australia, Adam Goodes returns to the AFL and I get a good night's sleep. Have a safe, enjoyable break all.
