Today starts the chinese new year, and it is the year of the Rat. So happy new year everyone!

BTW the year of the Dog will not occur again until 2018.

Well, after reading Dan's post on the other thread, this should be the month of the Dog! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I appreciate the thought Bruce, but a pre-announcement shouldn't really need a special posting. After all, that's what an ANNOUNCEMENT is for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The potential for a announcement, is a good way to celebrate the year of the Rat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh what the heck, a new announcement, is worth celebrating all by itself!

I say we start a new calendar and have every year dedicated to a different breed of dog! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
