Plans for 2021

[Butchers Blind]

A new year will be with us soon with more Covid, Brexit and the KFC Console.  What plans have you made for the next 12 months?
Planning on reading more as I've been a bit lax in that area.

[Captain Crunch]

Factory tours.  Hopefully. 

[steve98]

Hoping to do a bit more vacuuming (carpets etc)

[Buelligan]

Same thing I do every year, Pinky.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Can't imagine much travel will be possible for the first few mknths of the year so probably just work, learning Czech and  XBOX360

[Buelligan]

Dear Shoulders, sincerely not trying to irritate but could you not consider stopping all this flying next year?  Forever. 

Knock it on the head, old son.  You've had a good run but you're not a fool, not only does it spread germs, not just Covid but whatever comes after.  Also the fucking planes, man, they're killing the planet.  Everyone needs to give something.  Think about it.  Sorry.  Thanks.

[DrGreggles]

Seeing my girlfriend would be nice.
Going to a gig.
Drinking in a pub.
Catching up with people.
Taking a holiday.

Basically lots of things I took for granted before 2020.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Factory tours.  Hopefully.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is this as part of your work?

[Fambo Number Mive]

I'm imagining the first few months of 2021 will be the same as 2020. Watching crap online, listening to podcasts on Spotfiy, reading, going for the same local walks over and over again.

Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be able to meet people inside, go to a pub or get on the train and go somewhere new for a long walk.

Also, lots more farting like in 2020. Do love being able to see what farts will come out, whether some long elongated ones or the more usual shorter ones. And of course seeing what the smell will be - will it be meaty?

[Icehaven]

Moving house asap hopefully, ideally somewhere with some outside space, however tiny, and where we can't hear the neighbours constantly slamming doors or have to step over the piles of crap they leave outside or deal with a letting agent with open contempt for their tenants.
Getting away from the West Mids for a few days would be nice too, Wales or the Lake District or the fucking moon, anywhere really.

[Sherringford Hovis]

Also the fucking planes, man, they're killing the planet.  Everyone needs to give something.  Think about it.  Sorry.  Thanks.

Planet's doomed. If crapitalism couldn't be stopped by 1998 and people won't even wear a mask they ain't gonna do shit about anything else. Whoops crapocalypse.

"Twenty-one" was my parents' twee euphemism for 'penis' until I reached school age, so I shall be giggling uncontrollably every time I see or hear the date.

[machotrouts]

Sinking

[Junket Pumper]

Would love to do a bit more traveling when that becomes possible again, I spent a few weeks in Italy and planned on visiting a few other countries but that became impossible. Considering doing an Access to HE course in September and going back to university (but unsure because of I feel too old for it all now) and I wanted to get in about 4 months of traveling before then.

I'd also absolutely love to join a gym and maybe take up boxing but anxiety has always held me back from that.

[Alberon]

Given how unpredictable this year has been I plan to make no plans for next year.










D'oh!

[Pink Gregory]

Just carry on, go and stay in a cabin in Wales or something for a bit.  Birthdays, bank holidays, buying things, paying for things, sounds, sensations, occasional bouts of depression, poos, wees, washing my hair, eating cereals.

[sirhenry]

Increased delving.

We don't need to make the thread about this so I will now give one answer and ignore any follow-ups:

Visiting and exploring other places is my passion and saved me from depression following the breakup of a long term relationship. It was then I found out just how fulfilling it could be. Doing as much of this in the time I have available for the money I have available is my continuing intention, and this requires plane travel until I am eventually living in mainland Europe, where buses and trains will be viable. I'll be continuing to fly until then. That said, I am looking at taking fewer journeys and longer trips to reduce that, but that is partly contingent on the coming together of opportunities.

Some of my activity is offset by the fact I don't have kids, I don't own or drive a car, unless there's a thunderstorm or something I walk to everywhere that's within an hour's walk. I don't indulge in fast fashion, I dislike consumerism and try and live a life around minimising waste and about experiencing events, ideas, people, not amassing pointless shit. The majority of my possessions are over 7 or 8 years old. I don't replace things when 'the new model' comes around or simply if they have become a bit dog eared. These days I have reduced the amount of meat I consume by 50-60% from 4 or 5 years ago. I fund and champion environmental causes and green projects (in my own small way) and spent my adult life campaigning for international solidarity and social justice, which necessitates curtailing the excess and damage caused by major polluters and their elite stakeholders.

Whether or not that makes everything 'ok' will depend on each individuals point of view, but the above isn't intended as an excuse, only a declaration of intent. To repeat, I won't be replying to any responses so as to not derail the thread.

[Buelligan]

Fucking hell, we all do that.  Just stop flying, you selfish cunt.  No returns.  Ta.

[Dex Sawash]

Hoping to shave at least a day before it[nb]whatever part you want to imagine[/nb] becomes unbearably itchy.

[Buelligan]

Are you completely shaved then?[nb]And you think your children are dickheads.[/nb]

[Tony Tony Tony]

Having a haircut and a pint or maybe a pint and a haircut.

If Dignitas ain't home, then...

[Neomod]

Buy a bigger boat.

[thenoise]

1. Stop making unnecessary, unfunny posts which add nothing, especially when they tiresomely mention masturbation.

_{2. Masturbate less}

[Blinder Data]

have a baby, look after baby, get a new job, see family/friends more often, go to loads of weddings (with a bloody baby - wish me luck)

those last two depend on how this COVID bollocks goes, I suppose

[SpiderChrist]

Keep my job and home, and not die. Foolish to wish for much more, really.

[Chedney Honks]

My plans for 2021 are the same plans I had for 2020 which got totally cunted by Covid, i.e. fuck off for a couple of years to set up a charity in rural Hubei with some friends. Given the completely justified despair I feel about this country, its government and its population, I expect this will be kicked down the road until 2022. They've basically implied that I can get fucked until I've had the vaccine, anyway.

Just gonna watch Godzilla, Ozu and kung fu movies til then and try to not to die.

😆😆😆

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

Plans?

[Phoenix Lazarus]

It'd be nice to stay alive.  If I fail, I hope to see Bowie in concert.
