´óÏó´«Ã½

Forgive me, but it's been seven days since my last post. However it's been only seven minutes since my last slice of Christmas cake and only two minutes since my last choc sweetie.

I think I have fallen into a post Christmas slump. My last run was in November - and this is from a man who spends more time pounding the pavements than he does spinning the discs.

My New Year's resolution like so many others is to cut the rubbish, get back to the gym and be showing off my six pack by April.

I might be wasting my time though as I read today that psychologists from the University of Hertfordshire say that barely one in 10 people will stick to their new year resolutions.

According to their study more than half of those interviewed said they were confident of success. But by the end of the year just 12% had achieved their goals.

It seems detox treatments are a waste of time. Earlier in the week The Food Standards Agency's chief scientist, Dr Andrew Wadge dissed detox diets and advised people they would be better off spending their money on Neil Young or Steve Earle's latest cd!

That's my kind of doc. Who needs pills when you can go shopping for CDs. Now, we just need to find out if you can get them on the NHS.

I'm off to prepare for the show tonight which is the first of our listeners' mixtapes, and then it's the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland Hogmanay show which I am presenting with Robbie Shepherd and Vic Galloway.

Join us on air from 10pm and check out our Hogmanay web page for essential info.
