Update

Lap dancing club Silks Manchester and boxing promoters KO Promotions both have Facebook profiles. Check them out. They are both awesome organisations in their own right. KO have used Silks' dancers as ring girls for a number of their fight shows, including Warriors 6, an event at which two of my friends fought and won. Details here. Silks Manchester and KO Promotions are now friends on Facebook, thanks to my suggestion. Matt Tuckey: social media powerhouse.

Here's how New Year looked for me and some friends, on top of Heartshead, a hill in Tameside: 

So, very blurry, in short. With the naked eye, the fireworks were incredible, giving us a panoramic vista including the whole of Greater Manchester and beyond exploding in technicolour. Wildfire cameras are a bit crap, though. Might be time for an iPhone in a few months, if can get one for £20pm. Realistic? Anyone?

December's always a very busy month, what with present-buying etc. so finding time to ask for blog retweets over Twitter hasn't been easy. I did, however, have the banter with porn star Phoenix Marie,  who called me a “hot wanker” in an inbox message.

Some people just understand me the moment they meet me. You're a star, Phoenix!
