A weasel comes to say "Happy New Year" to the chickens

Bitten by a snake this year, he'll be scared of well ropes in the next ten.

You can hardly make a friend in a year, but you can easily offend one in an hour.

Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine. Pleasure for one year a marriage; but pleasure for a lifetime, a garden.

I was a little worried when the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, going into a new year. That's what makes golf a great game. You're only as good as the last shot you hit. You move on from there, and hopefully get off to a good start this week, see what happens.

It's all part of the pattern we've seen since the New Year. We had an extraordinary end to 1999 and we started the year by blowing some of the froth off.
