F1 Rejects New Year Thread

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 31 Dec 2012, 11:04

Just wanted to create this thread to wish everyone on F1 Rejects a Happy New Year for 2013.

As for my New Year's Resolution:Actually decide to follow next year's New Year's Resolution.

Post by **Londoner** » 31 Dec 2012, 11:48

Three New Year's Resolutions for me.

1. Pass my A-levels
2. Get a girlfriend
3. Just carry on being brilliant like I am.

I think number 3 is by far the easiest to do, followed by 1, then 2...

I'm seriously gonna miss this year, it's been so good.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 31 Dec 2012, 12:01

My resolution will be just to become less hated by certain people here. Probably the only thing I can aim for knowing that I am struggling with almost every aspect of my life right now

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 31 Dec 2012, 12:06

I've never taken New Year Resolutions, but I think it's time to start!

Mine would be:
1)Don't bathplug up my GCSEs
2) Don't bathplug up my GCSEs
3) Lose some weight and get in shape for my holiday

I realise I put one down twice, but it's so damn important it deserves two places :lol:

And to echo EastLondoner, 2012 has been epic. By far the best year of my (short) life

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 31 Dec 2012, 12:13

This year was so mixed for me, so many great moments I'll never forget but so many absolutely terrible things also happened

Post by **Ataxia** » 31 Dec 2012, 12:25

Well, I dunno really...I guess I want to:

1) Pass all my degree modules
2) Become fairly good at guitar
3) Be less lazy

and all the rest. I'll throw solve poverty and world peace as well in there...

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 31 Dec 2012, 14:21

I for my part don't really need many good resolutions because if I don't get my act together, I will probably starve: I am entering the risky world of self-employment once I have my Bachelor's degree. Wish me luck, mates. :ugeek:

I wish everyone a happy new year and hope the forum is going to be as awesome in 2013 as it was in 2012.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 31 Dec 2012, 15:59

Because it never seems to work and get opposite results of what i was trying, i'll try opposite logic:
1Waste all my time
2 Fail in everything i do
3 Hate everything

And if opposite logic doesn't work, you will not notice anything different :lol:

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 31 Dec 2012, 16:25

Well,it's now 2013 in Singapore,where the fireworks sound like the subway system.

So...possible claim for first post in 2013 on this forum,or have one of the Aussies taken the prize?

Barbazza · Post by **Barbazza** » 31 Dec 2012, 19:59

Happy New Year everyone.

I don't really do resolutions, though if I did I could resolve to finally attempt a Zakspeed profile, as I half-promised Enoch a long time ago.
If I do, I intend to send Martin Brundle an e-mail to see if he will answer....

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 31 Dec 2012, 20:22

Happy New Year to all!

Spending a quiet one with the girlfriend and her family tonight. Few beers but not OTT. no new year resolution for me, don't believe in it personally.

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 31 Dec 2012, 20:41

I actually have loads of resolutions for the new year, and I will follow them all, because I know I can do it and because I never take them seriously because they have never been serious enough;

-- Have success in my recently started business
-- Make some exercise at least 3-4 times a week (yeah, I really should)
-- Produce more and better music
-- Go out and read more
-- As a consequence of number one, move with my girlfriend

Onxy Wrecked · Post by **Onxy Wrecked** » 31 Dec 2012, 20:48

1. Don't bathplug the winter semester in college.
2. This means studying more and almost daily.
3. ???
4. Profit

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 31 Dec 2012, 20:56

I never stick with New Year's Resolutions, so i'm not going to bother.

Plus, if I wanted to make a resolution, I wouldn't wait til the start of a year, i'd just set my mind to it straight away.

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 31 Dec 2012, 20:57

I hate New Year's day. Especially because everyone and the world wants to wish you a happy new year. Unless you want to come off as a total Richard Head, you have to patiently endure all wishes. Bah!
But I do have some goals for next year:
1) Lose some weight. My preferred weight would be 70-75 KG. I think it's quite realistic, if I follow...
2) ...start doing some sport again. Even if it's just jogging around our local lake.
3) Doing practical practice during my spring or summer vacation. Preferrably at our local newspaper. Yeah, I'm one of those people, who study history and political science, and like to do "something in the media"

.
4) A girlfriend might not do harm, but this isn't one of these "bitch and moan at life, because one failed so hard, yet blames others for his misery" boards.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 31 Dec 2012, 21:00

My resolutions;

1. Stop making resolutions I'm not going to follow through on.

I agree with this.

Happy New Year, chaps!

Discovered the loveliest feeling; getting a lift home after going out which means I don't have to crash on someone's floor. LOVE IT.

Pretty much mine too, only put "A levels" into 1) and add "and actively seek out a drummer for band instead of waiting for one to fall from the sky" to the end of 2).
Happy new year to you all!

My New Year's Resolutions for 2013:

(1) Give up smoking
(2) Renounce vegetarianism

Both achieved already, and it's not even the end of 1st January yet. Bring on the rest of the year!

Post by **Londoner** » 31 Dec 2013, 23:16

Nah, you didn't see anything here.

Post by **Londoner** » 31 Dec 2013, 23:21

About time this thread was resurrected.

Well, 2013 was a great year, maybe not as good as 2012, but still a fantastic year nevertheless. Somehow made it to uni, I achieved two of my three resolutions

, and generally it was all good.

My resolutions for 2014:

1. Get a girlfriend
2. Go out with friends and flatmates more often
3. Continue to not give a shite and remain as I am.

Oh and finally:

MERRY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :mrgreen:

Have a holly, jolly new year
It's the best time of...

I'm not good at songs.

My resolutions:
1. Don't stick to resolution 1
2. Swear more
3. Forget about the track designing competition less often
4. Make a bad Minecraft video

I was pretty reliable in doing the usual necessary posting there, until about 3 to 4 months ago :lol:

Anyway, my place in Pennsylvania still has to wait 6 hours and 2 minutes until 2014 begins.

But that's besides what I was going to say, oh how so easy to go off topic here

The Resolutions That I'll Forget, excluding number 1 and 2

1. Have fun
2. Learn better canoeing technique, as I'm eligible for international racing in exactly 2 years time
3. Do well in school
4. Adopt some new memory tricks
5. Get more time away from the Internet
6. Get more time away from the TV
7. Be creative

In order, the easiest ones here are 1, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 5. Yeah, getting away from the Internet last

roblo97 · Post by **roblo97** » 01 Jan 2014, 00:49

My new year resolutions in order of importance…
1. Get distinction* in my I.T course by late April-early May.
2. Eat less food from Greggs.
3. Eat less small chocolate bars.
4. Get a decent 4 pack.
5. Get better on gran turismo.
6. Design better tracks in the beat Tilke at his own game thread.

Happy New Year everyone, I hope it's going to be as awesome for you as it is for me.

Generally my New Years' Resolutions tend to be either ridiculously trivial or hopelessly unattainable, and this year will probably be no exception

1. Stop swearing
2. Stop chewing fingernails (mine or other peoples, it doesn't matter)
3. Grow a full-face beard
4. Become 6"7
5. Get a decent job
6. Improve my grades in general
7. Get into a decent relationship that will last longer than 2 months

8. Cut down on being a Grammar-Nazi

Actually, those are pretty much what you'd expect from most people...

Happy New Year to all.
My resolutions:
1. Pass my Year 1 exams with good marks (and hopefully not breaking down in the practicals whilst dissecting the snail).
2. Do a good job as PaddockScout.com writer (new one)
3. To clobber anyone who says F1 is an entertainment, not sport.

Oh, that's easy. You can achieve that by eating more big chocolate bars. That way, it'll remove the temptation to eat the small bars!

And then you may join me in the diabetic club!

You don't mean a 6-pack? 4-packs are available? :lol:

I take pride in good grammar, and I would wish more people would. It makes reading comprehension so much easier... Don't worry if you fail in this resolution, I'll support you all the way.

East Londoner wrote:My resolutions for 2014:

This is my only real resolution (and has been since the last millenium, I suppose). I have fooled myself in previous years into believing that my only resolution was not to make resolutions, but this was it really.

Post by **Ataxia** » 01 Jan 2014, 22:15

This has been the best day of 2014 so far!

Last year, I said:

Ataxia wrote:Well, I dunno really...I guess I want to:

1) Pass all my degree modules
2) Become fairly good at guitar
3) Be less lazy

and all the rest. I'll throw solve poverty and world peace as well in there...

I did most of that stuff, but I'll stick with it again. Couldn't quite do "solving poverty and world peace" though...and believe me, I tried.

Things I can add to the list include the following:

- Paint/draw more.
- Enjoy a more healthy, active lifestyle
- Work my hardest to find a motorsports placement for next year
- Make a fish pie
- Create the full tale of Ol' "Two Wheels" McClenaghan, the maddest motorcycle racer of the 1940s who made the transition to four wheels.
- Think of stuff for next years list.

HNY, everyone!

1, opposite logic didn't work
2, turned out rather neutral, some things i failed, some thing i didn't.
3, opposite logic did work
